Perhaps the expression of insult was simply a coverup for the true frustration a team had over their lunches just being handed to them by a superior opponent?

As long as FIRST bases RP's on losing alliance scores, scoring for the opposition during a sure win is simply smart play. Those who take offence (Canadian spelling) to this strategy do not understand the nature of the contest, nor do they understand that they themselves are receiving a RP boost through their opponents' actions.
