re: An incredibly fascinating write up on reddit on 2 "fake" college football teams

Along those same lines, this reminds me of a story


One of my students entered his first ever grappling tourney recently, and won his first match then lost bad his second


I was trying to be upbeat and make him feel better when some crazy lady says "that's alright hunny my husband is the number 1 ranked fighter in the state and he just lost his match"

I asked who her hubby was, never heard of him, and with a little research I discovered her hubby is an amateur fighter with a record of 1-7. I watched his later matches and the guy was clueless


But it was more important for that woman to think highly of her husband, and their children to believe their dad was a badass than it was to be a smug prick and call her out on her comments, so I let it go
