I suspect there is more to this story.
This is TEXAS, not Vermont. It’s not a state overrun with liberals, it’s a conservative state that takes football seriously.
Youth leagues work hard to keep their teams competitive. Sure, there’s some variation between teams, but for the most part if everyone follows the rules things even out.
But, when one team dominates the others in a youth league as this one is doing (scoring 199 points vs only 6 for opponents), you can be sure some chicanery was involved.
• When players were being distributed between teams, how did all the best players magically get assigned to this one team?
• Does this team has a slew of players that should be playing in a higher level league (due to age or experience).
• Is the team adhering to the league approved practice schedule, or is it over-practicing, and thus giving it an advantage?
I thought this was high school football, where you play for the school you go to.
It sounds like they just belong in a different league. Most schools with 300 students won’t be able to compete against schools with 3000 students because the talent base is so different. It could be something similar here. It can be like having a heavyweight boxer go against a bantamweight.
There are also leagues meant to emphasize having fun - playing on a level like I did when we were kids and there weren’t any “leagues”. If a team is then formed that treats it like a professional sport, they will wipe out the backyard teams having fun but NOT seriously competing to dominate the world.
I’m a runner. Never did better than a 6 minute mile. Does that mean I should never be allowed to run? Or that the only races should be filled with national level competitors? There is a place for leagues where kids go to have fun but do NOT practice long hours...just as many of us did playing in the 60s.
