Originally posted by Tyrannosauruschex It is if it is a game. It is fair enough in something like swimming, running, cycling, rowing etc... In these events, your endurance is really the skill you are testing so should be pushed to its limit.
I was thinking though, what about something such as a raquet sport which should be decided by the more talented player with the best shots. Ther ...[text shortened]... d extremely fast in order to time out everyone they play. It is not really 'playing' the game.
Try thinking about it like this: If you're a tennis player with vastly superior shot making, you should be able to end points quickly. If a player with "vastly inferior" shot making is able to stay with you and extend the points, you probably aren't as "superior" as you'd like to think. If he beats you, he's shown himself to be a more consistent shot maker.

Originally posted by Tyrannosauruschex Yeah but it is like these losers who will try and run away from a fight, just to make you chase them - only pussies behave like this. I say, stand and fight or you are never going to be a man!
If people think fitness is all that is important, then dont ruin sports games for real people - go away and speand your life on a treadmill, cause that is the only thing that will ever respect you!
No offense but your opinion sounds plain stupid to me. Play some chess if you don't like that other's have better stamina than you. You think it would be possible to play normally some sport games (basketball, football, tennis) without being fit? Well, I agree that it's stupid if someone uses his superior strength to knock you down in a way that is prohibited in the specific game but if someone runs faster and longer than you, then just stop whining and go work out.
