MT, I'd be up in arms if my republican reps did this. One plays by the rules even if at a disadvantage or that person has no integrity. I absolutely would not have behaved this way, nor would I have tolerated it from my teammates. Imagine being in a game, late in the third period and you had one of your teammates called for some ticky-tack minor that shouldn't have been called at all and you had to play the last two minutes short handed. Instead of digging in and trying to get the job done, your team just skated off the ice, into the locker room. Think, in that private part of yourself... how would you really feel about yourself? I don't know you very well, but I imagine that if you actually managed to do this, that you'd feel shame...like any other competitor would feel.
