Gross.

Who said anything about tanking and which teams are doing it? Are Florida players willfully tanking ....... ?
I for one don't believe any team's players tanks deliberately, .... professional athlete's aren't wired that way or they wouldn't have achieved the goal of playing professional sports. Players have been encouraged since childhood to try their best.
Fans may wish that their team tanks once they recognize they are going nowhere near the playoffs but I don't see players losing intentionally. Organizational management might recognize that a change in direction is obviously necessary at a certain point during the season & sell off assets for futures. MLB is the clearest example of teams doing so but players tanking, no.
