One of The Top Dumbest Trends In All Of Sport

Over the last decade or so is the concept of "quality of losses". In both football and basketball this pathetic un-American construct irks me. Everytime I see some skinny jean wearing Beta yammering on about high quality SEC losses or Q4 losses I feel my testosterone level dropping.
Got that off my chest, gonna go yell at the kids on the lawn.

Nice try, but using the term “natty” is the worst thing to happen to sports. Until that is purged from the lexicon all other concerns are small potatoes.

SEC intellect.... wait... they never say that one.
UT and OU are going to magically upgrade to SEC speed, etc when they join.

to a trick play in football! There is no such word! The proper word would be "trickery".

you left virtue signaling out of this post. How can we know how to behave without a sticker or uni patch to tell us.

I have friends that have totally given up watching all sports when all that crap started.

I'm down to watching nothing but college football, and I'm getting pretty jaded on that.

I agree with the virtue signaling, and I'll offer an amendment: The dumbest trend in all of sports is transforming succumbing to pressure (see Simone Biles, Naomi Osaka) as a virtue seemingly on par with thriving under pressure (see Michael Jordan). Now, Michael Jordan may be an #@% while Simone and Naomi may be wonderful persons, but it takes some very high level mental gymnastics to avoid saying "they choked" and instead wax eloquently about how they are so self-evolved/actualized.

Well it’s not quite what it sounds as all losses are bad, but in football if we lose to a top 10 team it is not as detrimental as a loss to Duke.
Just an example as I cannot remember who we played that weekend but if we would have lost to say a Fl St the same weekend as SC lost to the Citadel and someone says well y’all lost as well you can say well at least we did not lose to an FCS team.
Of course my philosophy is “just win” and the quality loss conversation will not be needed.
Just another metric used in ranking teams, but at the end of the day all losses are bad losses.

Yeah, it's right up there with "they were ranked 5th (as an example) at the time we played them". Who cares where a team was ranked in preseason or the first couple of games of the season. If they were ranked 5th, but by late in the year are 7-4 and unranked, it just shows that those who ranked them that high were wrong. Why do we act like that was some big accomplishment to beat a team that was horribly mis-ranked?

Everyone gets a ribbon!!! Nobody can be criticized with all CAPS because might hurt their feelings for being too loud and demonstrative plus add in that we can no longer let teachers correct homework/papers with red ink because its too harsh and mean. Serious facts that these people school board members have added to the curriculum.
Now kids can't handle the truth, they cant handle the fact that they wrote a horrible paper, or that they finished in last place in a spelling quiz, society says that child should get counseling because they may be distraught from finishing last.
In what world does living in a padded bubble actually help a kid? Not every one wins! The idea of losing drives people to do better.
This pussification of America will cause us to become fascist, lose out global stronghold, let China and Russia run our country. Just like the President letting his son make millions off shady deals with China/Russia and the government just lets it be part of our countries daily operations among our govt.
