Except the latter happens all the time. "Tanking" is a common occasion in professional sports. From the general manager and owner on down through the players.

I'm in no way saying that it's a positive thing for FIRST (nor am I condemning it with this post), but if you're going to attempt to use a sports analogy, at least use one that doesn't counteract your point.
