Sure it's 'how hard you play that counts,' 'the exercise is good for you,' 'sportsmanship is king' and 'playing on a team builds character,' but let's face it, no one signs up for a sport to see other people celebrate. The object of all team sports is to score more points than the other team. The object, therefore, is to win. While a one-point or one-touchdown game is exciting, dramatic and ...
