Do you go after their injury?

Here is an interesting problem for athletes. You are in the playoffs, or in an important game, and one of your opponents has an injury. The question is do you go after the injured athlete and that injury? (aka run into someones broken hand on purpose)

This is such a tough question because their are two or three schools of thought. There is a group of people who would do anything to win and think that it's part of the game to go after an injury. Animals attack the weak in the wild, why would it be different in sports? Very old school, and I'd say slightly mean. I want to win, but not because I injured someone else.

Another school of thought is to exploit a weakness which would be forcing a basketball player to dribble with their broken hand. This is probably the school I fall in. It's only natural to make it difficult on someone who is injured but trying to play. You want to take advantage of someone's weakness, but not intentionally try to make their injury worse. If an athlete realizes they can't be effective then they can just take themselves out of the game voluntarily, which is a lot different than being taken out because someone made their injury worse.

The other school of thought would be to play away from the person's injury or make it as easy on the injured person as possible. I think this is more for friendly pick up games. Although there is also a school of thought that you want to beat someone when they are their best. You don't want to win because someone was injured and I completely understand and agree with that point. People want to know that they played better and that they deserve credit for winning and not having to hear about how so and so was injured. I find elements of this school of thought attractive.

Interesting things to consider. Not sure where people fall on this. Not sure where I even fall on this. I think this might vary from situation to situation.
