There's no cryin' in baseball!
I'm with Bobby Bowden on this one. It's not his job to keep his team from scoring.
Maybe West Charlotte should take a look at their softball program.
Couldn't the manager/coach from the other team have asked for the game to be ended before the fifth inning? Could he have forfeited in the second?
Some call it "The Big House." No guts, no glory. (Sorry Notre Dame fans, its true).
Wimpy up a society and you get more wimps. I call it liberalism.
Maybe next time they should kick more field goals rather than going for the touchdowns? ;o)
Will I be flamed if I don't add a 'sarc' tag to my post?
Unwritten rules (tradition) are rules. The Democrats in the Senate should have thought of that before they violated those unwritten rules by filibustering judges because their liberal donors (and now owners) wanted them to.
Break the unwritten rules and bad things happen. A coach gets suspended, the majority is forced to pass a bad rule because you couldn't play fair.
They were too brain-dead to say something in the first inning? Like, limiting the runs?
According to a published report, the coach and athletic director at Central Cabarrus won't comment on the game or the suspension, but the West Charlotte athletic director said Central Cabarrus continued to play aggressively as the Vikings scored 30 runs in the first inning and 25 more in the second.
The Cabarrus kids are just little automatons and don't have enough brains in their skulls to recognize a slaughter when they're committing one? It only takes three kids to 'throw' an inning.
They would accrue much more (informal) credit and respect for knowing what to do and doing it without being instructed (the 'wrong' action for the right reasons). "I was just following orders" ain't good enough.
Why is everyone arguing over girls sports? Its the most boring oxymoron I've ever seen.
The coach for Oklahoma has never gotten fired for running up the score 55-0 in college football.
Wonder what the point spread was on the game? And did they cover?
What's this guy supposed to do? Tell his kids not to play the game? The other team dogging it after scoring 20 runs is supposed to make the losing team feel better? If he takes his first string out after 20 runs and the scrubs give up 21, what then? You can't put a player back in after they have been pulled. You want someone to follow an unwritten rule? Write it down.
PC stupidity strikes again.
The coach of the loosing team is the one that needs to be suspended, if any one is.

Guess where this is coming from, no other than cabberus county.
I am of the firm belief that teams that are not good and playing against top ranking teams should be humiliated as much as possible. It just shows how badly their coach is.
Unwritten rules are great and all, but isn't suspending a person for breaking one identical, de jure, to suspending him just because you feel like it?
If you want to use formal penalties, write it down.
"By playing this brand of station-to-station softball, you give the opposing team as many chances as possible to record three outs each inning without an excess of runs crossing the plate."
You GIVE the opposing team as many chances as possible. . . [?]
What game is this? It's nothing that I recognize, and I've played a LOT of softball. Humiliation, sometimes, is part of the game.
Give the opposing team as man chances as possible. Amazing.
I feel sorry for those kids that lost. Not because they lost, but because they will never learn to face the hardships life throws at them if their parents keep coddling 'em. Sheesh!
