Scruples

2. In a heated tennis match, your opponent returns a ball that looks out, but you’re not sure. If you win the point, you win the match. Do you call the ball out?


There is an obvious answer to this in my opinion. This is because this happens to my cousin and I all the time. My solution would be to redo the play. It is the only fare way. Well actually not. If I was playing where there was a ref, then I would go to them about this problem and if i din't agree I would challenge the play or do anything I can to prove that my call was right. Back to a simple friendly game of tennis. Yes I would just ask if we could redo the play. 

I answered this scruple in the way I did, because it is only fare. If I just lied and said that I saw it go out 100 percent then I would have guilt in the back of my mind for awhile. So I would ask if we could redo it. If the person said no I would be OK though because I wouldn't have lost. I can still keep fighting my way through!
