Tanking is an ugly word. The connotation of it isn't flattering to any individual or organization. If I though any team or organization I followed we're really tanking... I'd be fuccing gone.
Yet some people use it so easily, it just rolls off there tongue, it's the new "in" word, like "like" or "dude" it makes me think they've never played a serious sport in their lives.
MY Celtics do not tank, they reconstruct, they remake, reestablish, recondition, rehabilitate. LOL
What is the difference between tanking and developing young talent to you? Is there a difference?
