in a vaccuum I would agree with you. But let me ask a real dangerous question. What is the real purpose of interscholastic sports? Is it just to build strong bodies twelve ways? Or is it to also teach life lessons about self discipline, teamwork, sacrifice and sportsmanship? Because if it's latter, then we need to enforce behavior that is unsportsman like. Enciting a crowd by saying we are screwing the kids certainly falls under that category
