Smith Twins Should Not Win $50k Cash Prize for the Hockey Shot of the Year
Did Nick and Nate Smith cheat to win the $50k in the hockey shot contest? Should they be allowed to win the money?
Nick should have went to get his brother rather than taking the shot for the prize. Dad should have told officials Nick went out to get Nate or let them call the next person to take the shot for the cash.
They broke the rules and shouldn't get the money. What kind of lesson will this teach the twins?
The 11-year-old twins do need to learn the consequences of their actions. They shouldn't receive the prize since they didn't play by the rules.
If this would have been adults who tried to pull this stunt, they wouldn't win the money. It could be possible the adults could have charges filed against them and arrested for trying to scam the contest; if this was the scenario that could happen to them.
Odds On Promotion declined awarding the $50k prize to the twins, people who have read the news story on Yahoo are up in arms saying they should get the money because it would be the right thing to do because the shot was made. Yes, the shot was made, but by the wrong twin. It doesn't matter which twin bought the ticket, the one who made the purchase had to be the one making the shot.
Using the switch tactic by the 11 year-old boys is just as wrong as a company pulling the old bait and switch trick. In this case, it can be considered a scam brought on by the boys because they know how much switching they can do to get away with things like this.
Others reading and commenting on the latest news about the greatest hockey shot, believe the company made the right decision. They believe the kids need to learn how bad it is to pull a stunt like this at their age. With the discussion continuing on on the last article link above, many of the people who are standing up for the company are appalled at the suggestions of those who think dishonesty is the way to go.
