I think winning and fun are correlated highly. But if one confuses torturing players in the supposed name of winning with playing hard and working to win, then the fun is lost and all is lost, I think.
I never said and do not think DHS is "playing for PKs"; they are playing the soccer they can and need to in order to win and excel.
I think it is simplistic and misguided to accuse them of "playing for PKs," as it is to denigrate that strategy of anyone who does do it.
Not sure HS sports is intended to please fans, by the way.
