I generally am against it just because I want the opposing player to be a little more tired.

JMO.
Football is a game of inches. Every ounce of energy you expend helping an opponent up is energy you don't have later in the game to knock them down. People are calling this sportsmanship, and that's bullshit. It's not 'unsportsmanlike' to make someone pick themselves up off of the ground. One is not an 'asshole' for not doing so. It's competition. |

Do you not condone a player helping one of his own teammates up? Helping a teammate up expends the same amount of energy and that is energy that could be used to knock the opponent down on the next play. |

As for the bolded part, I honestly am hesitant to respond to it given the stupidity of the comment. Making a small sacrifice for the sake of someone trying to achieve the same goal as you is not the same as making that same small sacrifice for someone who is trying to take your goal away from you. It's competition. What a strange and empty question. It's a team sport... it's not all about individual success. Why would helping a team-mate equate to helping the opposition, even if it's a ridiculously small dose of help? |

He should stomp on their ACL instead. High risk but high reward.

I forgot that the nature of competition has changed and that winning is no longer the priority. Sportsmanship is. When he coached is not relevant, and he's hardly alone. I'm not condemning anyone. You're the one who flat out said all coaches who think like this are bad coaches... which is a factually inaccurate claim. |

I don't think I am imagining it. It seems to me the scene was they were reviewing game tape with a group of players and they showed where the Bengals player helped up the opposing player and the coach said you are getting a fine for that.

our coaches used to tell us something to the effect of play angry whistle to whistle; between whistles, your opponent deserves your respect.
