Having a healthy and strong 25 year old man give up his bus seat to a 75 year old lady is not “required”.

Anything wrong with a 25 year old woman giving up her seat to a 75 year old man? I’ve never seen it,

Maybe you were brought up in the wrong part of the country or in the wrong part of town. I have seen it. It called "good manners".

I have no objection if you politically-correct liberals want to introduce a “mercy” rule in basketball, like they have in Little League Baseball.

Since when did the good ole-fashioned, traditional American value of good sportmansip make you a "politically-correct liberal"?

As I said before, good sportsmanship is a value just like respect for your elders or respect for the Flag or not farting at the dinner table are values. You either have a value or you don't. You have made it perfectly clear that, in regards to sportsmanship, you don't have that value. Your position in regards to farting at the diner table has yet to be stated.

This seems similar to me to the politically-correct liberal mentality that criticizes the Israelis because they kill too many terrorists without incurring enough casualties. Yes, 100-0 is a very good score in war also.

You are now actually comparing war against Islamist-fanatics terrorists to a basketball game against the teen-aged daughters of the fellow citizens of a local American community. Do you realize that you are now making quite a fool of yourself?

As for Coach Grimes, once your employer publicly calls you and your players nasty names, you have a choice. You can be a man or a craven slave. The coach knew exactly what he was doing when he was “insubordinate”, and he has my respect. As the coach said: ..... "We played the game as it was meant to be played and would not intentionally run up the score on any opponent."

By his very statement, Coach Grimes proved to be both a liar and a coward that did not even have the courage to admit, "Yeah, I deliberately ran up the score because I wanted to hit 100."

After the one hundredth point was scored, Grimes called off the offense and, for the last several minutes of the game, his team did not score a SINGLE additional point.
