This is ridiculous. It’s not like the team they defeated had Down Syndrome! They had ADD. Which means worst case scenario they’re hyper brats. They didn’t lose 100-0 because they’re handicapped they lost because, apparently, they aren’t any good.

.................and their subsequent actions in wanting to forfeit made it into a big story now and will only serve to rub salt in the wounds of the girls who were trounced.

If they had been dyslexic, they would have lost 0-100.

Actually you don't know the extent of the learning disabilities of these students. They list ADD or dyslexia for folks like you who are obviously unacquainted with children who have learning disabilities.

I can see the excitement of the school as they realized they might actually score 100 points, however, in a system that has a built in procedure so a lopsided game is to end sooner, why didn't the officials step in and end the game?

“They had ADD. Which means worst case scenario they’re hyper brats.”

Actually, they are RICH hyper brats. I tried to get my ADD daughter in that school. When they finally told me what the tuition was (and after I asked about financial aid!) I was told to “come back when you win the lottery.” If they can’t get a coach worth a darn for the $10,000 plus they charge per kid, they don’t deserve to win. Or, the owner is just saving money and coaching them himself.
