Other people had a chance, they could have beaten us. Name one sport where they kicked out a entire major league team because they won too much. In roman times people liked having a champion gladiator, heck, half the time going up against the champion meant death either way, even If you beat him the crowd might become angry that you killed their favorite so they would release the lions.
If you want to win then you have to beat US. There is no glory in winning a battle where the best warriors were tied up.
US winstreak is not broken, staff need to announce as such.
