It is if it is a game. It is fair enough in something like swimming, running, cycling, rowing etc... In these events, your endurance is really the skill you are testing so should be pushed to its limit.
I was thinking though, what about something such as a raquet sport which should be decided by the more talented player with the best shots. Ther ...[text shortened]... d extremely fast in order to time out everyone they play. It is not really 'playing' the game.

Yeah but it is like these losers who will try and run away from a fight, just to make you chase them - only pussies behave like this. I say, stand and fight or you are never going to be a man!
If people think fitness is all that is important, then dont ruin sports games for real people - go away and speand your life on a treadmill, cause that is the only thing that will ever respect you!
