without getting into namecalling as i'm wont to do on this subject....
my big issue with tanking is the philosophy behind it.
I don't personally want to believe a team I support would wantingly attempt to improve be devaluing themselves.
improvement is a forward progression. tanking is regression.
it'd be like always having rub one out minutes before throwing your girlfriend the d.. just to make the sex better instead of actually trying to improve long term... instead of consistently trying to improve your own performance, you're willing to take a personal shame hit just to reach your happy place even if you have to take a ride on the second round softie express to get there..
to each their own... everybody is going to have their opinion on the topic, and i'm not about to get on my high horse about it as I have in the past..
I personally can't fathom wanting a team I support to regress in order to improve. "addition by subtraction" is just a catch phrase... it's actually really fucking illogical.
