I see your point.
So those that
do sprint for 30th, by definition don't get it, and once they do get it, they are experienced enough to sprint safely, which makes a 3 up sprint okay, but it's never done, because they get it.
[big breath]
Therefore, if they sprint for 30th, they don't get it, which means that they are dangerous, but it does no good to yell at them for sprinting because they just don't get it, and if they don't get it, they won't understand why people are yelling at them.
So the moral is: don't waste your breath yelling at the dude, just stay the f- out of his way while he makes a fool out of himself showing off to his wife.
