Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4627597, member: 289"] What is an 'immoral victory'? It's a ridiculous term. Losing by 30 rather than 1 is never "the same". You want two things out of any game: to win and to have a sense of optimism about future victories. If you won but looked bad doing it, you will lack that sense of optimism. If you lose but performed well against a good opponent, you won't have the win but you can still have a sense of optimism. That's what people call a 'moral victory', although it has nothing to do with morality. If it's the last game of the season, you can be impressed with how much was accomplished and feel optimistic about the next year. That doesn't happen when you lose by 30. [/QUOTE]
