Mr. Wilson said:Gamesmanship.
That's all.
How many people *wouldn't* do this to their opponent who was very likely to lose because he can't cope? Not to mention what a nice guy he is.
The only thing that would have made it better would have been if Bata smiled and said "watch this" before he did it.
Earl is probably the only person I've ever heard of that this could bother enough to cause a meltdown, so why allow Earl to control the atmosphere with his antics?
Gentle nudge, total meltdown, easy win.
Game, set, match.
I never though I would have to say this but.... RIGHT ON MR. WILSON!!!! BULL'S EYE!!! I second to that quote!
