Sending a "message"

[socalblue1]

There is no need or reason to lie about an FYC - that would destroy the message. If done at the right time for the right reason the point is made and life (And the game) moves on.

Yes it is. And an unnecessary and dishonest one.


Define it as you will, but knowingly and purposefully calling a cock shot a ball is being dishonest.



Good tool. Unlike the FYC, no lying involved.



And most of us learned to accomplish this without resorting to misrepresenting the truth.




Okay, so you only lie to the players, coaches and fans some of the time. That's much better.

Let's say you pissed off your auto mechanic. To get even with you, he tells you that you need to replace your alternator when all you really need is a belt. Is that okay with you?

You son showed up his history teacher. So to send a message, his teacher marks a correct answer on a test as being incorrect. Okay still?

A caoch comes out to you and tells you that he's subbing a kid properly, but instead he had two kids switch jerseys and he's bringing back a starter. What the he!!, it's not as if lying were unethical or anything.
