Is it considered bad sportsmanship to throw a game in order to get a more favorable playoff match-up?

Well there is no clear answer apparently. Some people believe you put your best team on the field no matter what; others say it is fine to look at the bigger picture. I guess I am going with number 2; after all how many NFL teams bench key players after they have wrapped up their division?? In my mind there is NOTHING wrong with fielding whatever team you want any given week.

keep telling yourself there's no clear answer and that there's nothing wrong about what you're obviously going to do. if you'd be honest with yourself, you wouldn't even have to pose the question. it's a cheap, cheaters way of winning. nothing ethical, nothing right about it. technically within the rules...? perhaps. fair play? helll no.

it's not about fielding whatever team you want...it's about fielding the team every week. NFL teams bench key players...but that's a totally different situation from fieldign an entire starting roster in order to THROW A GAME for a better playoff matchup. if a team ever pulled such a low-class move, i suspect a trip to Roger Goodell's office would be close at hand, and if rules aren't in place in the NFL to stop such a blatant abuse...then there would be very quickly.

Try this again...
There are few things we can control in this Fake Football game. If you can control your destiny by playing a team you have a better chance of beating in round one, as long as it doesn't keep someone else out of the playoffs then I say why not?
They "Bench" players in the NFL all the time for a lot of different reasons. I have had players of mine benched for no good reason other than the "Coach" got a bug up his but. If I want to bench a player I will. And if you don't think that teams don't throw games at the end of the year because it helps their draft position the next year then I have one word...Luck. That's what it's all about. Luck, Skill and controlling the tihngs we can, accepting the things we can't and knowing the difference.
And if it is a Cut Throat league, then by all means. -

you know it is. there are those who insist that it's just 'smart strategy'....and that's #$%$. if i have to win a championship by cheap tricks like that...i'd rather lose. anything i don't earn...i don't want.

Why in the hell wouldn't I take the path of least resistance? The 'holier than thou' crap is garbage. Make an educated decision, one in which you believe will give you the best chance to win, and follow through. It's not cheating nor dishonest. It's strategy. Find some.

I'm currently the 7 seed, but I'd have a much more favorable matchup against the 1 seed instead of the 2 seed. I kind of want to lose this week so that I get the 8 seed, that way I don't need to go against Brees and Peyton Manning next week. So I'm gonna "roll the dice" with DMC and MJD, and oops... Edelman is on IR? I didn't know this. lol

come on, Chis! you're better than that! if theré's nothing wrong with it...why not just be completely obvious about it? if you're doing nothing wrong....there's nothing to hide.
