Never mind that homeless person you passed on the way to work today who may have fought a war for your freedom. Or the families going homeless because greedy bankers found a way to make money off defaulted loans while our government bails them out with our tax money - or the millions of other real atrocities.

Break out the pitchforks and torches fellow townsfolk and get ready to storm the village, we have found our witch.


Chill dude,

Just because there are much worse things doesn't mean we can't talk about the other smaller douchbag stories. :shake:

This is where sports can be bad.
The Dallas school is terrible, has been terrible, and always will be terrible. but you know what? Those girls get to put on a uniform and play two games a week. Many times that is good enough.
The Covenant team showed poor form in this score runup. They didn't get better doing it. They didn't learn anything from it. They simply got to be bullies for an evening.

A guy at my high school, who was a state caliber wrestler, set the school pin record (in time). It was against a girl who was wrestling in her first match. Do you think he is proud of that?

I'd much prefer to look back on my athletic career and be one of the girls who carried the opposing hitter around the bases last year (when she hit the HR, but got hurt...and her own teamates couldn't touch her, by rule), than any girl on this team.

Sports should be about getting better. High school sports should be about getting better, but also learning. No one in that winning lockerrroom learned a thing about sportsmanship.

The more I think about this, the more baffled I am that not a single player, asst. coach or parent had the class to tell the HC to cool it.

It's almost too cliche to be a hollywood script... the rich private religious school beating up on the school for problem kids.

Starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Denzel Washington.

I think the biggest problem is that nobody involved acknowledges the basic fact that this tiny little school simply does not have enough bodies to field a competitive team. Period. Why does nobody get this? They have a 40% participation rate (8 out of 20) and still can't win a game, ever. Why roll these poor kids out as cannon fodder every game? It's just not right.

I'll bet continuing this disgrace has more to do with adults justifying their salaries than anything else.

How about they practice and get better and try to get a win and learn from getting their asses kicked?

I agree to a point only if it is a hated rival school..

But after being up 50-0 I would call the dogs off..

Great. My suggested punishment would be for the winning team to be forced to play their choice of a professional NBA team, the players of whom would be awarded prize money (donated to their favorite charity) based on the margin of victory.

Unfortunately, I suspect even under those circumstances the NBA players would actually not have the heart to do what these pathetic girls did. Yeesh.

Well if it were against the WNBA they might have a chance..

Once I get down to the 3rd string kids after being up 50-0 I would have them run out the clock and take ridiculous shots from way beyond the arch.. And certainly not press..

Why throw down your full house when you can beat them with just a pair?

I sure as hell can blame the ladies..they are old enough to know when enough is enough. If I was on a team playing against a group of kids with mental problems such as theres, I would plainly tell the coach that he needs to settle down with the pressing and shooting 3's. As a matter of fact, my freshman year in basketball we were playing a team and our coach was going for a hundred(beat the other team something like 84-6), pressing in the fourth and I told him to stop pressing or take me out. He said if I refused to play he'd sit me out the rest of the season and I told him that was fine, I didn't want to play for an asshole anyways. The other players recognized what I was doing and came out in support of me and we clearly stopped him from being a prick. Some places just don't have the talent level that others have, no reason to rub it in. That'd be like the USA invading Djibouti.

The coach for the winning team was fired yesterday after sending an email to the local newspaper saying he would not apologize, and his team played with class, and honor.

I wonder if he can coach football.....at least they actually played "to win the game"

FloridaMan88 01-26-2009 09:49 AM

Herm might have found the perfect job opening... a place that will revere him for keeping the score down.
