Black Monks :
King of the Jungle (#Rugga) :
- the Rugby fans / Rugby players / ex-Rugby players (sorry there’s not a single word to define it), who believe in the Rugby spirit... and for whom match fixing is cheating..
With this statement you are saying that if you are a real rugby fan/player/ex player you agree with you. Therefore if you disagree with you then it shows you are not a real rugby fan/player/ex player. This is where all of this started. I say you are a fool if you think in this black and white terms. So a real rugby player can think it's cheating (I don't), or a real rugby player can think it's niggle and against the spirit of the game but not cheating (this is where I am), or a real rugby player can think it's niggle and not against the spirit of the game (not where I am) or a real rugby player can think it's fine (also not where I am).
I am not surprised you cannot understant this statement as you showed you are a person without values.
So, when a real rugby fan/player/ex player is passionate about his sport, and believes in this sport spirit... then yes... he will respect the values of Rugby. He will not do something that is at the opposite way of Rugby’s spirit (e.g. match fixing... or insulting people... just saying..). Because he is not a gamer.. he is not here to win by all means.. he is more here to find the “rugby experience” (as much as he can.. even if there are some unrealistic things).
For the gamers.. it s more about winning the game... and Rugby spirit is not a priority. (Am I insulting gamers? No.. at the end of the day it s a game..)
Now, I see again your limitation... so I need to go deeper in the explanation.
Among the “gamers” they are also players/ex-players etc... but they are more “gamers”... For them the rules of this game are more important than the rules/spirit of Rugby itself...
Meaning if tomorrow you found a sneaky way to make a forward-pass which will grant you a try each time.. you will be happy to use it during each game..
I personally wouldn t as for me it would be cheating. (And I don t ask you to share my view.. that s my opinion). And I will survive if somebody beats me in a game... (even if it s because he used an MB and a forward-pass at the last minute)..
But claiming that the only way of seing it is as “not cheating” is sad.. as it shows you have no open-mindedness, and respect for the other people (and obviously that you think you re the smartest person on Earth).
