Try to look at this with a little logic and leave your religious views at home.

Sorry, can't be done. My religious views color everything I do. Yours do to. Unfortunately you fail to see that there is a religious lesson to be learned when you are faced with an opponent who is clearly undermatched.

As I stated earlier on this thread, when I was in Junior High School, I was soundly defeating an undermatched opponent and my coach caught me acting in a manner which was not consistent with good sportsmanship. In essence I had a cocky attitude which was apparent both to my opponent and to my coach. He immediately pulled me off the court and forfeited the match. He taught me a very important lesson that day. He was a great coach.

Pal there are no religious lessons to be learned in playing sports. There are life lessons possibly but not religious ones.
Now Coach Vince Lombardi was a very religious man but his credo was “Winning” and he did not tolerate losing.
Now if your religious views color everything you do that is your choice but that means you have trouble pulling back and looking at things in logical frame of mind at times.
Well you and I will just to agree to disagree on this basketball game.
I am a little more worried about the Economic Collapse of the country and the Big Picture than a girls basketball game of lopsided proportions.
Also because of all of this blown out of proportion publicity we have a coach fired, one school now giving up playing altogether and those poor girls feeling and being humiliated, both sides, because we have made this little deal into a big deal with National Publicity bringing on scorn and ridicule.
Now just how does God and Jesus feel about that and the rank Hypocrisy that all this has brought about???????
