There comes a point where winning becomes humiliation. Scoring 100 points to 0 against a winless and small school borders on humiliation and senseless degradation.

It be even more humiliating to me to be on the court and have the opposing teamn not even try to take a shot because they felt sorry for us.

I'm sure those girls from Dallas Academy aren't masochists. I doubt they'd have felt the same.

Once your butt's been kicked, it takes poise to remain standing and continue on. Therein lies a concrete example of sportsmanship. Never surrender. To continue to run up a score, however, is unsportsmanlike. I suspect some here would have been chanting "Losers, losers, losers" during the 4th quarter.

C'mon. After a point even an NFL team will ease off a bit.
