When I lived in Houston, Texas many years ago I played in church league softball. Our team did pretty well until the big tournament came up.
It was amazing. Apparently we had the only church in the metro area whose male membership was not composed of 6'5" semipro athletes who could knock a softball over the fence one-handed with or without a bat. The other teams were chock full of guys who cursed and scratched, drank a lot of beer and I suspect did not make it to church the next day. Ringers.
It was a shame to see this in friendly christian competition.
Seems to be the American way. Observe youth sports, politics, even religion. The only rule is there are no rules. Win at any cost.
