№ 778: Fair Is When We Win

REALITY BYTES (January 26)


All is fair in love and war.
Therefore, it is alright to cheat.
And in all fairness, it isn't cheating . . .
it’s simply preventing defeat,
assisting the gods, improving the odds,
ensuring that virtue prevails,
that we come out on top, victors. Full stop.
Ignore the gory details.
If we steal the sign or deflate the ball,
I would not call that cheating at all.
We competed. We happened to win.
Though it did help that the fix was in.
