Get the zizards group of losersmug. A Professional Loser is a real job. It's someone who gets paid to lose on purpose. Sometimes if a team is doing very poorly, a coach will hire a Professional Loser to compete against his team and purposely lose. After his team beats the Professional Loser or Professional Losers (if plural), the team will feel better and their moral will be boosted. Sometimes hiring a Professional Loser is the way to go.
