I would rather be the best player on a bad team then be the worst player on a good team.If I was good I could score all the goals.The spotlight would be on me.I would also be proud to be good.I would be the star player.Some people might say being the worst on a good team is better but I say it's not because your good just on a bad team.THis is why I chose being good on a bad team.
ReplyDeleteI would be the best player on a losing team rather than the worst player on a winning team. I would get interviewed a lot because if I was the worst player I wouldn't get interviewed. The second reason is I would get to play a lot. If I was on the winning team I wouldn't get to play a lot. The last reason is everyone would like me even if I was on a losing team. That is three reasons why I would want to be on a losing team.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the best player on the worst team because then you could get a scholarship to college with the sport you play. Second you would get the ball a lot. Finally you could join a better team and still be the best. Some people would want to be the worst on the best team but then you would not get to play and it would be boring in conclusion I would be the best on the worst team.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the worst player on a winning team and here are my reasons why...
ReplyDeleteYou would be better than some players on the losing team because you would be on the winning team. Also, if it was the winning team in the world cup you would still get the trophy even though you're the worst. However, some may say it is better to be on the losing team because you would be the best, but if you're on the winning team you can learn from your teammates and get to their level. This is why I chose to be on the winning team, but be the worst.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the best player on a losing team. I would do this because I could just change teams to a winning team. Also, I would play a lot. Then, I would get a scholarship to play on a good team and maybe get a scholarship for a good college. Some people think that they could be the worst player on the winning team because they want to win. But, you could get on a new team and make your team GREAT!
I would rather be the worst player on the winning team. I would rather do that because if it were a winning team there would have to be a coach and that coach could teach a lot of good things if you were the worst player. Plus if you were on the winning team it would be fun. Some may say that the best player on a losing team is good because you are the best player, but the coach would not be able to teach you anything if you were the best player. That is what I think.

ReplyDeleteI would rather be the worst player on the winning team because you would get to win a lot of trophies. Also, if the good players were only a little better than you and you were still good, that means your are really not the worst player on the team. Finally, you could get a really good scholarship to a good college if you were on the good team. Some may argue because if you were on the losing team and is the best player you would get all the attention. Those are the reasons why I chose to be the worst player but on the winning team.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the worst player on the winning team. One reason I chose this one is that even if you’re the worst you could still be really good, because the other players might be a little bit better, but you are still close. Another reason is you would be able to go to a lot more fun games and tournaments because your team is good. Lastly, you could learn from better players, but if you are the best player you can’t learn from your own team mates. Some may argue that they would rather be the best, but if you were the best you would try really hard, but always lose because of your team. All these reasons are why I would rather be the worst player on the winning team.

ReplyDeleteWould you rather be the best player on a losing team or,The worst player on a winning team.m If you were on a good team but you were bad you wouldn’t play a lot. You would have to work out or maybe play football for a long time. How do you even get on the team.
If you were on a bad team with you the best player you could be good and you can score and win some,But your team stinks. The good part is you can be drafted to a good team or if you are in high school, you can go to a good team for collage or maybe even the pros. I chose to be the best, but have a trash team.
this is interresting
DeleteI would rather be the worst player on a winning team than the best player on a losing team. Because If I was a bad player I can always learn something. Also If I am a bad player I would practice a lot and get to play a lot. And also nobody would expect a lot out of me. Although some may say that being a good player is better but if you are good It is harder to lose because you are not used to it. I think that being a bad player on a winning team is better.
ReplyDeleteWould you Rather Part 6
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the best player on a losing team than the worst player on a winning team. First, it doesn’t matter who wins, just that you have fun. If you were the best player on a team, you play the most. Second, if you are good, then people will see that, and it won’t matter what team you were on when you were on in fourth grade. Last but not least, being good is fun. Even if your team is not good, you could still get a scholarship in college. Some people might want to be on the winning team, but all you would do is take credit for your wins. You wouldn’t even get to play. That is why I want to be the best on a losing team.
I would rather be the worst player on a winning team, because I would still have fans, Even If I was the best player on a losing team that means I would have the same agility as being the worst player on a winning team, and I could say that I belonged to a good team. However, some may prefer to be the best player on a losing team, because they could be called a good player, They would have more fans than the worst on the team,and you could play a lot. I still prefer to be the losing player on the worst team, because I would still have fans, and I could say I belonged to a good team.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the best player on a losing team. Here are my reasons why. I think that as long as I give effort I can be proud of the outcome of the game. It is also just kind of fun to be the best player on any team. We could still win just not that much. Some people might want to be the worst player on a winning team but you would not play very much though. Those are my reasons why I would rather play on a losing team and be the best player than being on a winning team be the worst player.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the worst player on a winning team than be the best player on a losing team. The first reason is that if I am bad my I will not feel because my team won. The second reason is because I wouldn’t feel bad if if I didn’t. The third reason is that if I can try hard I will not be the the worst person on the team. However, some may argue that it is better to be the best on a losing team than to be the worst on a winning team because you are the best on the team. I think it is better to be the worst on a winning because you will not feel bad if your team doesn’t win. That is why I would want to be the worst on a winning team.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the worst player on a winning team, because if I was a bad player, and the rest of my team is good, nobody will really care. Also, I could learn more from a winning team. Maybe in the end I’ll get better. However, some people might prefer to be the best player on a losing team, because you could teach your team, but it’s easier to teach a person than a whole team. That is why I would rather be the worst player in a winning team than the best player on a losing team.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the best player on a losing team rather than be the worst player on a winning team. First, you would get to play more minutes than if you were terrible on a winning team. Second, you could get traded to a good team and still get a lot of minutes and win. Finally, Even if you were really good on a bad team than you would get to the All-Star game. Now some would choose the other way around because what if your team was really really good and you were the worst on your team but you weren’t that bad. But, if you were trying to make the All-Star game, but they can’t choose every player on your team. I would rather be a good player than a bad one.
ReplyDeleteI would be the best player on a losing team instead of the worst player on a winning team. If I was the best player on a losing team, I could still be good at other sports. Plus, everyone would look up to me, and the other team would think I was good. Some people would want to be the worst player on a winning team, because you team would win, but that would cost you embarrassment and even losing at other sports. If you were a good player, then you could get an award. I would be the best player on a losing team.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the best player on a losing team because at least I am able to have fun while playing. Secondly, I would actually get to play instead of sitting on the bench. Thirdly, I might get on a better team once the season is over. Some people may say that being the worst player on a winning team is better but, you would only sit on the bench. I would want to be the best player on a losing team for several different reasons.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the best player on the losing team. It would be better to get more playing time and be able to play different positions because you’re better than anyone else that usually play that position. If you were the worst player on a winning team you would never get any playing time because you are so bad. Also the coach will probably not like you if you are that bad. That is why I would rather be the best player on a bad team.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the best player on losing team than be the worst player on a winning team. First of all, I might be so good I would go to the Pro Bowl or participate in the All Star game. Also, I would be a lot more famous. Everyone in the city would love me. Also, I would have a lot more skill and get to play a lot more. However, some people would rather be the worst player on a winning team because they might be able to get a ring. Even knowing that I would rather be the best player on a losing team.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the best player on a losing team than the worst player on a winning team. If I was the worst player I would never get to play, second as long as I try my best it does not matter who wins or who loses, last you could get traded to a winning team. Although some people may choose to be the worst player on a winning team, I would choose to be on a losing team but be the best because I want play!!!! This is why I choose what I choose on this would you rather.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the worst player on a winning team, than the best player on a losing team. I chose this because then, my team would still win. Also, I would still make a ton of $$$, because it’s the coach’s fault that I’m not out there playing. However, some people may think that being the best player on a losing team would be better because then you would be totally awesome and famous. But I would rather have the crowd cheering for my team, then not cheering at all because I lost. This is why I chose being the worst player on a winning team, than the best player on a losing team.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the worst player on the winning team because you would still win all the games, You would also NOT have to play if you don't want to, and finally you would still get tons of money if you were a pro. On the other hand if you were the best player on the worst team you would get a lot of attention and play all the time. But you would also lose a bunch of games. That is why I would be the worst player on the best team.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the best player on a bad team than a bad player on a good team. The spotlight would be on me and I would now all the moves and score for my team to make them happy. You would also get the ball a lot to score. However, some people would want to be the bad player on the good team because they can sit and watch or just sit on the bench and not even play. Who wants to sit the whole time when you could have the ball every second and score! I would much rather be the best on the losing team than be the worst on the winning team.
ReplyDeleteI would choose to be the worst player on the team because 1 my team would win. 2 You could make a lot of money and 3 just because you're the worst player doesn't mean you're bad.Some people may argue not to choose this because you can be the best but I still choose answer 2.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the worst player on a winning team because you could be an All-American bench-warmer. Even though you would not play you could be the best at your position and your team could win every game. You could get a championship ring FOR JUST SITTING ON THE BENCH!!!!!! However, people might say that you could be in the all-star game if you were on a bad team and be the best player, but you could be on a winning, championship, team!! I would rejoice to be an All-American bench-warmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteall american bench warmer!
DeleteI would rather be the best player on a losing team over the worst player on a winning team!
ReplyDeleteThe first reason I think this is because, I feel disincluded a lot, and if I was the worst player I would feel left out!
Second, if I was the best player I would probably win some games, and get a lot of $$$.
Lastly, If you are the best player on a losing team you would get a ton of advice and attention from your coach.
However some people might say that being the worst player on a winning team would be better, because they think it’s all about winning! I don’t think so I would want to just have fun.
That’s why I think it would be better to be the best player on the losing team!
I would rather be the the best player on the losing team than the worst player on the winning team. If I were the best on the losing team, I would be cheered on. Also, the other people on my team would not make fun of me. Finally, I would teach the rest of my team how to be fast. Although, some may want to be the worst on the winning team, I would like to be the best on the losing team. I would rather play than sitting doing nothing. That is why I would want to be the best on the losing team.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the best player on the worst team. This is because I would play a lot and that would be fun. When i'm older I might get lots of money for playing the game. I would also be very fast and that would be fun. However, some people may say that being the worst player on the best team is better because you win a lot. What about having fun? You would never get to play. This is why I think being the best player on the worst team is better.
ReplyDeleteThe best person on the worst team because you can help them get better. You can improve their speed and skills. We can use the anger from losing help us work harder. However, some may say being the worst player on the winning team you would win everything but you wouldn't because you would sit on the bench the whole time. But if you were the best on the worst team you can help them get better and not sit on the bench so much and you sit on the bench more often.We could also turn into the winning team. That is why I want to be the best person on the losing team.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the worst player on the winning team. For one reason is that if it was the championship for football I would still get a gold ring. If I was on the winning team I still wouldn't be a bad player or else the would not have picked me.You may chose to be the best player on the losing team because you'd still be the best. But I would chose to be the worst player on the best team because I would still get an award.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be the best player on the losing team because you would be playing mostly the whole time in the game, and I would get the ball more , also I would make more baskets than anyone on the field. Some people would probably say they would want to be the worst player on a winning team but that would not be fun you might sit the whole game, and to me that is not fun I would rather be the best player on a losing team because you get to play the whole game , and you probably get the ball more, also I would make more baskets.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have the same dream every night rather than having the same song stuck in my head. One reason I would rather have the same dream is that if you didn’t sleep you wouldn’t have a dream, but if you didn’t sleep you would still hear the song in your head. Secondly, it could be a long dream and there would be a new part of the dream every night. Lastly, it could be a good dream and that would prevent you from having nightmares. Some may argue that they would rather have the same song because it would be fun to listen to, but you would get really bored and tired of hearing, but you have to listen to it. All these reasons are why I would rather have the same dream every night rather than having the same song stuck in your head.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have the same dream every night, here are my reasons why. You would know what is going to happen in your dream at night and you could change it though just with the same setting. Also it would be fun if it was a good dream I would want to have it every night. I could sleep while I am having a dream so if the dream got I could just wake up and the dream is over. Some people would rather have the same song stuck in their head but you could get in trouble in class. Those are my reasons why I would rather have the same dream than have the same song stuck in my head.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be a giant hamster than a tiny rhino. If I were a giant hamster I would be super comfortable. I would never be cold be cause of my skin. Also, I would be famous. I would be known as … “The Giant Hamster”. That would be awesome. My last reason for being a giant hamster is that I would be very cute. However, some people would want to be a tiny rhino because they would have a horn to do things with. Even knowing that I would rather be a giant hamster.
