If you can’t handle defeat, don’t participate in sports. Come to think of it, you probably won’t be all that happy in life, either.
“If you can’t handle defeat, don’t participate in sports”
Exactly.
I also don’t see/read/hear that the losing team was bitching about losing, just a bunch of posters and the “journalist” that “reported” the story.
The coach of the winning team seemed to be fired because of his comments concerning the apology issued by his school and his public display of disagreeing with the school. His right and the school’s right, imo. He wasn’t fired, from what I read so far, for his coaching ability or because of this particular game.
Some seem to think that because the losing school is a school for learning disabilities (which is a HUGE spectrum right there) that “special” rules should apply. Maybe the losing team shouldn’t have been playing in this league? If it’s a special needs school and the players are special needs or learning disabled in any way, maybe they shouldn’t have been playing in this league?
A 100-0 basketball game tells me the losing team had no business playing in this league. The losing team couldn’t make one basket, not one, Varsity high school sports. Not little league, not rec council, but a high school varsity league. Not even a foul shot, free throws.
