Later in life my Son was in a boy's league. One of the coaches (I knew him) kept one kid on his team who could not really play but he was big for his age. The coach admitted that his sole purpose was to pick a fight with the opponent's best player and get them both off with penalties. My Son asked if I would let him quit and I said yes, he did not need examples like that.
