I was reading an article about how some tennis
players have been playing in France. Apparently
they have given their competitors points that have
won games. It is possible that those who are the
line men could have made different calls, but the
players were willing to be OK with calls of their
own that weren't in their favor.
The author of the article mentions that that type
of behavior isn't likely to happen in a sport like
basketball. Not sure that it even could, given
the dynamic. But the idea that one would give
another even a momentary advantage is something
I think we could use more of in the world.
Wouldn't it be something if we let another
occasionally have the "advantage?" I'd say in
the end, we all likely would benefit from the
positive ripple effects. I could be wrong, but
I sure wouldn't mind trying the theory out.
Given the world we live in - I'm not sure we'd
have much to lose.

In my opinion, the best 'games' result when the competition is friendly, and people are willing to share pointers and what they have learned. Of course, this does assume that a purpose of a game is enjoyment rather than winning, but personally I've never taken that much pleassure in winning or shame in losing. Maybe if more people stopped viewing life as some sort of competition, we could have more enjoyment...
