I guess I'll play the asshole role.

Just because you're up a lot your supposed to take it easy on your opponents? You play your best the entire game. Fuck that.

In Junior High School we used to go to the local sports cards/comics stores which had arcade machines in the back.... it was right when Mortal Kombat II first was released and it was the hottest game around. There'd literally be 4 or 5 people waiting at all times for next game. Some of the better players would stick around for a long time (if you won you stayed on). Alot of the time if they dominated their opponents in the first round they'd beat them down to almost no life in the second round and then let them have it to make things more interesting and also prolong the game for a 3rd round. I remember this happened to me one time where the guy beat me round 1, had me round 2 but then gave it to me, and then I beat him round 3 and knocked him off the machine! Im sure he didnt do that too much more often (in fact he got back on a few games later and wiped me out in 2 rounds and said "no mercy kid" after beating me in the 2nd round)

The game was scheduled and thus the teams should play to the best of their ability regardless of the score. Taking it easy because your up a lot is foolish....not "being a good sport". If anyone acted stupidly it's the other coach for scheduling a game which he knew wouldn't be competitive or close.

In boxing if you win the first 8 rounds in dominating fashion should you just sit there and not do anything for the remaining 4 rounds?

Ask Former Ohio State Football Head Coach Woody Hayes who during the Michigan/Ohio State season finale went for two after scoring a TD despite a 36-point lead..... when they asked him why he went for two he instantly replied "Because I couldn't go for three."

Thats a man! While that example is probably going too far (it was a bitter rivalry though which changes things), continuing to play as normal and score points is not at all imo .

To quote "If it couldn't stand the heat of playing superior talent, it shouldn't play the game (losing team). If players can earn a 100-point victory, they deserve it."
