Re: 2012 Olympics

But it wasn't against the rules. To me this falls in the category of "don't hate the player, hate the game". IMO the 8 players aren't at fault for taking advantage of the current system but whoever thought it would be a good idea to create a system where tanking games would be a good strategy is the one who should be kicked out of the games. Usually the highest seeded teams play the lowest seeded ones so you always want to win. I have to admit I'm still really confused on why in badminton it was an advantage to lose but maybe they should consider changing.
