ASP Quote Significance Ch. 6

Quote: Listen, pal, if I can't play sports, you're going to play them for me." (85)

Significance: I think the significance here is that even though Gene doesn't want to play sports because of the guilt he feels for keeping his bestfriend from playing his sports Finny wants Gene to play sports for him. Finny understands he can't play football anymore or any other sport he loves he wants Gene to enjoy them for him. Finny is still not understanding that Gene was not lying about purposely making him fall. I don't think Finny wants to believe it so he avoids it, but why?

Question: Why does Finny avoid and not believe the fact that Gene admitted that he intentionally jump on the branch to make him fall?
