[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 195136, member: 844"] I have said this before, and I know it is an unpopular position but...I find it odd that effort in a sports event is applauded. The reason I say this is not to disparage any poster or athlete, but I simply cannot remember NOT trying to win in any competition I ever participated in. I assume everyone else does likewise. Applauding effort in sports is analogous (imo) to praising an engineer or member of your management team in a performance review for "having good attendance" or "good personal hygiene". Apparently I am in a minority, but effort is a given. And only noticeable in its absence. [/QUOTE]
