Hell they were playing a tiny school made up of special needs kids...they could have let them score a few times at least and had fun with it after about 60 zip.

I happen to work in a school with the type of kids described here--dyslexia and short attention spans. We have championship tennis players, kids who skateboard, and shoot 3-pointers in their sleep.

Dyslexia and ADHD don't mean you're handicapped.

If these kids ARE in some way unfit to play comeptitively, why on earth does that school play in this league? They are sending these kids out to fail, thus further damaging their self-esteem--something desperately needed by such kids, whatever their physical situation (which isn't mentioned in the article).

Let's place any blame squarely where it belongs, and not on kids who want to rack up big scores.

Seriously--would YOU want to be able to say your team won 100-0?
