I think he simply likes football. I mean, he also loves to watch it on TV and knows all the teams, and players, and games since whenever and all that. He is a fan. It is only natural to wish to play it himself, IMO.
I don't think it is about fairness for him. It is about identification with a team like he does when watching football in TV.
But it was not only due to Clark's superpowers that they won. He threw, yes, but another player had to run and catch: teamwork. I am not a football expert but as far as I know this game is also about strategy.
I wouldn't exclude an unfair advantage for breaking and entering without being seen. Not to mention being bullet-proof. Or is it missile-proof now?
I agree. I like the supersavings, too, but I really appreciate Clark when he uses his brain and instincts.
Because I also agree with Jonathan: With him it's never going to be a fair fight. So he doesn't use his superspeed to win. Gig whoop. What about that Hail Mary pass he threw in his first game? Or the ability to never wear out your arm and always hit where you're aiming?
Clark being proud of that championship title is like me being proud of beating my six-year old cousin in long jump.
That's why journalism is a perfect job for a being like Superman. Because it has nothing to with your physical prowess (granted, super-hearing and x-ray vision can come in handy in that line of work).
That's one thing they did right at the beginning of Smallville. Even in non-journalism episodes like Cold and Hug it was Clark's detective instincts and not accepting stories without proof that led him to Chloe's rescue and not prejudicing Kyle Tippet.
