Here's an idea: get rid of athletic teams in schools. Use the money saved for Actual Education. Leave the games for after-school playtime for the kiddies on their own parents dimes.

If they do that then the same should go for college sports as well. It's ridiculous when colleges go outside the state to entice and enroll players.

That's sportsmanship?

I coach a high school lacrosse team and I'm astounded by this ruling. The after-game handshake has always been part of our sport. I've never known of an incident in 30 years of playing and coaching.

If they're not going to teach sportmanship as part of high school athletics, maybe they should end the program.

Half of the town where I grew up would lynch someone for making a statement like that. While the FOCUS should not be on them, I liked going to them as a teenager. I went back to my first high school football game in YEARS. The old atmosphere was back.
