OT - Ryder Cup?

In Response To: OT - Ryder Cup? (Colin Owen)

I think this might be a cultural issue about what is sportsmanlike and what not.

For example, in the USA, 'running up a score' is something you don't do and is frowned upon, whereas in Europe it is OK (or at least was when I was actively playing sports). At the receiving end of 10-0 trashings I would determine to just train harder, and when I was winning 14-0 and aiming for 20-0 I also did not feel unsportsmanlike.

Here the win is at stake, so I don't see the issue.
