So, I don't want to hear people laughing at fans when they want to tank in a bad season. All this talk about it will never happen?? Don't be naive folks, "tanking" absolutely exists!! There are a million ways to do it. Even if the owner doesn't directly tell the HC and offers him a bonus for losing, the owner together with the front office could come out with say a BS 4-year plan whereby the first 2 years has nothing to do with winning by keeping and/or signing crap players, so that you lose like nobody's business to get draft picks like what Hue Jackson did at the Browns. And the worst thing about it is? He took it up to the NFL and they never did jack about it.
So, next time the 9ers have a bad season, feel free to scream to tank! The owners and the front office are also human beings like us. None of us are stupid enough to say tanking doesn't make sense. Of course it makes perfect sense x a million!! The only question is whether it should be made illegal given it will break the spirit of competition, now that will be another discussion entirely.
meh tell that to the players who miss contract incentives because this tanking is human nature nonsense.
