I’m pretty confident that most non-senior football players on an 0-10 team have little to no desire to play that 11th game. 

I would guess (and it's just a guess) that the team and parents were at least consulted prior to this decision being made.  While I certainly don't mind a team with no wins making the playoffs, I'm not sure how many are really excited to play one last game against a number 1 seed. There's no chance of winning or even keeping it close, and for those who feel there are life lessons to be learned in sports, when your 0-10, I'm not sure that one more lesson is all that important. I'm not even sure the seniors would be all that excited to strap the helmet on one last time.

And if that's how they feel, that tells me why they are 0-10.

In a perfect world and in theory, every game would be important and mean something. The reality is, circumstances and environment can dictate attitude. It's like the chicken and the egg..which came first....the bad attitude or did the hopeless situation play a part in creating the attitude? Personally, I'd probably play (although I've never been in that situation before). But I certainly understand why they wouldn't want to.
