This has been something that has been said for years in the game with regards to what is perceived as showboating, and seems to be frowned upon. The nutmeg, in particular, is apparently a real affront to professional pride, and I’ve heard players say that they pull up their teammates for doing it, or they have lost their temper from having it done to them even in training.
I remember reading a story that a college or high school basketball (I think) coach was sacked in the US a few years ago for ‘allowing’ his team to win 50-0 or something like that.
What are your views on this? To me, I’m not sure players have some sort of obligation to not put the ball through someone’s legs or generally just enjoy their game. Nothing immoral about it to me.
