there needs to be a middle ground b/w forcing rules and not caring

identical games have diff rules i.e. euro vs american soccer

Question 6

logical-incompatibility thesis

Answer 6

says cheating and playing the game are logically incompatible

lehman says this also shows how cheating is unsportsmanlike

penalty rules

by violating the rules, you didn’t fail to play the game and you also didn’t fail to play well

i.e. sometimes penalties are strategic

only violating the constitutive rules makes you question if the game was played
