So if a baseball player strikes out, you shouldn't say anything to him, and tell him you'll bounce back next at-bat?

This is a stupid thread

have you ever played a team sport in your life? come out of mom&#x27;s basement every once in a while to interact with another human being to understand why it&#x27;s done. idiot.

jlt9889 · Answer

pretty harsh words.  i never understood that either. yeah i understand the team concept of it but it is just plain stupid.let&#x27;s give your dumbass a scenario. no time left on the clock man is on the free throw he misses both. yeah give him a high five you dumbfuck.  how about this kicker misses field goal with no time left.  the only person who pats him on the helmet is his center and  maybe a lineman. the rest of the team wants to kill him. there is no team there you dumb fuck.its a TEAM SPORT right so you high five regardless of scenario.

AustinHoopDream · Answer

You&#x27;re right. Really  poor sportsmanship.These clowns ( mostly illiterate, introduced as "from college" but they can&#x27;t even spell it).They are paid millions to produce, not act like jerks.Congratulate the shooter for missing??This behavior is just as bad a baseball players lining up after a game and high-fiving each other! These clowns, who tat up to look like gang bangers are lucky they&#x27;re playing in an era when shooting isn&#x27;t as important as dunking.Just look at Shaq, who couldn&#x27;t sink a basket unless his hand was inside the basket.This game has really gone to hell.

KiwiSportsFan · Answer

any teammate worth their salt would instead slap the FT shooter across the face and give a non-verbal look that said, "better not miss the next one, homie"

theclaw · Answer

You win and lose as a team and you support each other as a team.

No one miss loses any game, many, many plays set up the situation for that last second make or miss , for had any player made more plays that last second shot would not make any difference.

Could of been a player miss a layup 3 possesions before that put his team in the position for another player to make or miss a FT costing the team a win.

So is the player who missed a layup supposed to not support the player who missed a FT ?

Is the player who shot 3 of 12 in the game supposed to not support the player who missed a FT ?

Is the player who had 10 TO's not supposed to support a player who missed a last second FT ?

It's a team game with many up's and down's by every player. You support your teammates through thick and thin.
