Same difference.I didn’t say lopsided score lines are frowned upon, I was saying that intentionally running up the score once it’s already lopsided is considered poor form.
If a baseball game is 8-0 in the 8th inning, the winning team is not going to stop trying.
If a basketball game is 120 to 80 with 5 minutes to go, the winning team isn't going to slow down.
If a football game is 50-3 at the start of the 4th, the winning team isn't going to stop playing at 100%.
