[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is the line between showing favoritism and not letting play?[/quote] First, this varies from one sport to another. Some allow for free substitutions and flexibility in allocation of playing time, while others don't. In baseball and soccer, once you're taken out of the game, that's it. So being the starter matters. Being the one who "starts" is not as big a deal in basketball or football, though, because for symbolic or strategic reasons, those who end up playing the most sometimes start on the bench. Second, showing favoritism vs. not letting play is not always zero-sum. It can be negative-sum. You can show favoritism to one player by having them start, while at the same time completely shutting out someone else who would otherwise be playing back-up minutes even if not starting.[/quote]
