I don't get this one - of course I would beat them.
Why would I want to help them break a record? Records should be respected. If there is a record there to be broken, then the team should have to earn every bit of that. To intentially let a team win so they can get a record defeats the purpose and subtracts meaning / significance from their achievement.
It's like if you are making a run to beat the 72 game win record, and you have tied that record at 72 games with one game left to play.
If the other team throws the game and LETS you win, then you didn't really win...the other team essentially forfeited. You didn't earn anything. The win would be a win on paper only, and would be without honor.
