Just because a team blocks in auton doesn't mean they aren't GP or they aren't playing by the rules or spirit of the game, it just means that defense is their strategy. When John Abele says we should push ourselves to excel and not drag down our opponents, i don't think that he's saying, "defense is not GP" or "if your strategy is defense, you are unsportsmanlike", it means it in a bigger sense, like helping other teams out in their pit or numerous other things that are bigger than the competitions themselves
