I think it's a reflection of society as a whole, and how there is very little middle ground anymore. You're either a leftie or right wing, an eco-warrior or a climate change denier, a success or a failure, happy with a small slice or you want the whole pie. Basically, society has been reduced to winners or losers, and in the entertainment/sport industry, it's a more exciting prospect to have triumphant winners and dejected losers.

A deep explanation I know, but I think it carries a certain amount of credibility. Why share the points, when for a few more minutes of graft, one team can take the whole lot and the other gets nowt?!

The golden point does nothing to promote the game. The americans must have a winner and fans in general love it. Didnt the yanks want to introduce a golden point in ( SOCCER )

agree golden point is unfair on the loser -should just be a draw

I really don't understand what's so problematic about a draw? That would have been a fair result from Friday's game - both sides had periods of dominance, both played some great and not so great rugby, and both dug in hard to keep it tight and always within reach. The 80 minutes of graft was essentially decided on a coin toss.

If it's ok for everyone else, why not SL?

COMEON WAKEY!!! LETS HAVE IT!!!

WHOS WITH ME?
