Oh, Baneares: If you watch the targets sequence, it goes like this-- Sportsmaster fighting A-lad with a foil, A-lad forms two cutlases, Sportsmaster stops fighting to salute A-lad and says "not bad, lad... nyah nyah there's a mole" Then the camera pans up and FOR THE FIRST TIME, we can see what Sportsmaster can see... Red Arrow standing right above A-Lad perfectly able to hear what he's saying. Now why did Sportsmaster say this? Ignoring the fact that the writers want the Team to know there's a mole (and ignoring the fact that Sportsmaster's comment doesn't actually indicate that there IS a mole) the comment seems to have no purpose. If the Light wanted to foment suspicion, they certainly could have passed on their scurrilous insinuation far more effectively than having Sportsmaster just SAY it. So what does Sportsmaster actually accomplish by telling A-lad. He rattles the team, yes, but remember we're talking about the Light. What was their REAL purpose behind the obvious? By telling A-lad in front of a witness, Sportsmaster SEEMS to have proven that Kaldur is above suspicion. If you assume Kaldur is the mole, then Sportsmaster's rather silly and pointless action suddenly has a very effective and subtle purpose.
