The dude and his team are losers who couldn’t win on their merits or achievements

Yes rules are rules, but the coach should have pointed it out to the officials before the jump to give her an opportunity to remove it. She probably didn’t even realize she had it on or that it would be a problem. Happens all the time with my daughter—some officials require them to remove even stud earrings, others allow it. Half the time she doesn’t even realize she has earrings on! But they always remind them before the match if they do want them off.

I saw South Pasadena, and thought my hometown had done something incredibly stupid. Imagine my relief to find it was California, not Texas!

"I would personally not accept the trophy, or medal for this sort of a “win”. It is meaningless as a win and in no way reflects the reality of what actually occurred on the field of play in this instance."

That's what I'm thinking.

Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.
