Giving up as a player. Ever done it?

I played a lot of soccer growing up and there were times where the team was playing like s***but we never gave up never got first place in the tournament but usually finish somewhere like 3rd or 4th so nothing spectacular and my team never went through anything like Ole Miss players are going through right. But the mentality to give up was just never there do you guys believe that players of any sport or any competition at some points do you give up and just don't try or do you think that people just still try and get beat by better competition.
I've never seen a team give up before and I've watched a lot of sports people like to say oh that team gave up or the other team won because they wanted it more.
For those of you who played in competitive Sports no matter what they are was there ever a time where you did give up and you didn't try at all and how did that make you feel and how did it make your teammates feel?
I'm not talking about getting your arse handed to you by a better team and you still tried I'm talking about has there ever been a time where you literally just flat-out gave up and didn't even try.
I'm going to be interested to watch This Ole Miss team and see if they give up and how soon they do or if they even start to try it all it'll be fascinating to me to see that.

Your team gave up last year.......this year will be worse.

It's pretty easy to give up when you're a senior and the team is the worst it's ever been since you've been there. The few talented players look forward to the next level and the others look forward to moving on with their lives.

Looks like you gave up on the English language.

OK. One more time. Punctuation is your friend and ours.

Have you ever heard of a period?

The majority of Auburn's 2012 team gave up and it was embarrassing as hell.

You seriously never saw a Dooley coached team? If not, that's ok. There's a good chance you'll be getting your very own soon.
As for me, no. I've never given up as a player. In fact, I can remember basketball teammates pissing me off when they started getting a little bit lazy near the end of games.

No. I have never given up as a player in any game at any moment..I've also never been in the position these seniors are in. I don't know what I would do. Probably jus suck it up and play the game I love while bettering my game, and looking forward to getting $$$

I don't think giving up in sports is ever a consciously made decision. Can you just emotionally check out because of being fed up or hopeless, yeah, but I don't think an athlete ever says "I'm just gonna stop trying".

I'm going to tell you right now you should expect your team to be very similar to the 2012 arkansas team.
I hear a lot of things that give me flashbacks to things I don't like remembering when reading about ole miss.
We still haven't recovered from giving up culture that was established during that year.

"No matter what sport it was"? Really? Dude there's a huge difference between playing pussy soccer and playing football. One sport gives you a penalty card if you make contact where the other it is required to beat the ever living shite out of each other...yeah, there is quite a difference between getting your arse dominated in football and "giving up" in soccer. Only a soccer queer would say something this dumb. There's a huge difference between the 2 sports.

Yes. When I was young I was a pretty good Tennis player. I decided to give professional tennis a try, I was at John Newcolbe's place near Orlando getting some instruction and ran into a West German kid who showed me the difference between good, and great. I hit probably the best shot of my life and watched him run it down and hit it back cross court for a winner. Kid was 14 and John's instructors couldn't handle him either.
That told me cracking the top 50 was probably my ceiling, if that. Very humbling.
After I got home I never played another tournament and started looking at going to college.
I think I came out better in the end. Met my wife registering for classes.

I've seen a ton of people tank a tennis match.

I gave up trying to read your long without punctuations. I guess I'm technically a quitter.
