It's not worth an argument--and I don't think we are really disagreeing--but I meant that to the coaches and players, there is always a lot on the line, if only because coaches and players want to see the rewards of their efforts. Sure, the skills and coaching might all be less than great, and sub-par officiating might not have career consequences, but it's still meaningful. That's why I go all out every game, regardless of the level.
