defending it as no big deal. Lying. Cheating. You are saying it is okay and dude should not be disappointed in people. Also, this silly, just win thing ignores the practical reality that 8 year old kids aren't likely to win when they are playing 9 year old kids. I can just see DK's awesome coaching wisdom when his kids are crying because they lost 9-0 and barely touched the ball because the other kid cheated. "You should have won."
But you are right. Being honest is obviously not as big a deal to you as me, apparently.
