Interesting, no one seems to take into account the perspective of their players. If you are on the losing end, do you really want to be out there for 80 minutes getting killed? At what point does it stop being a teachable moment?
If you are on the winning end, only negative things can happen to you in a situation like this, with getting hurt or getting red carded being the two big issues. I have seen both situations when winning teams have lost good players right before the state playoffs in blowout games.
No mercy rule, really?
