My old high school just got whipped in a game 48-0. I remember being on a grade school team that lost a game by 63-0 (the other team had five adult coaches...we didn’t have any). My view is that if you’re bad enough to get whipped by a high score, you deserve to get whipped by a high score.
Losing is a great motivator.
Nobody likes to lose.
When something happens you don’t like, you learn to avoid it.
You avoid losing in two ways. You quit or you learn what it takes to win, and implement that into your life.
Eliminating a loss in your child’s life, does not prepare them for the real world.
Unless we’re talking about Obama’s real world, where there are no losers and winners are in fact penalized.
Don’t want to lose 91-0. Then stop them.
I am angry that this ridiculous story is taking up space that should be devoted to IRS, Benghazi, Obamacare, and Fast & Furious scandals.
I’m not angry at the poster — just the news media in general. It ticked me off when they spent so much time on thos non-story on Fox and Friends this AM (which has totally degenerated as a news source since Elizaabeth joined the 2 silly men.) Where, oh where is E. D. Hill?
If this ‘parent’ gets mocked and/or ostracized she deserves it.
At the end of the game, the officials should have split the score 45-each team and tossed out the 1 point.
Poor widdle darlings.
Where’d I put my kleenex?
Maybe Western Hills should join a 3rd grade athletic department. Buncha wimps.
So put in the 3rd string. Give guys who have never scored a chance to do so, etc.

I filing a bullying complaint against the entire NFL on behalf of the Minnesota Vikings.
I thought this was going to be the Vikequeens score last night, but the Giants stink a little less.
When I was a sophomore in high school, and homecoming to boot, the score was 68-0 our favor at half time.
Half time show, then it was announced the visiting team had left.
We looked up to see their buses driving away.
Sometimes lopsided scores happen.
We're 0-6, and all but one game have been blow-outs.
It's been discouraging for some, but most of the kids love playing football. More importantly, many new friendships have been struck over the past 3 months. I also turned the coach on to Atlas Shrugged, he and his wife had never heard of it.
My son knows basketball will be starting in a few weeks, and his team rarely loses a game. When the score's 29-2 in the third quarter, I know what the other parents ar going through.
Apparently teaching them good sportsmanship did not occur to them
Running up the score used to be consider to be in very poor taste
When you are that far ahead, you don’t lay down, but you kill the clock and do it very obvious way so that even your OPPONENTS see you are being honorable.
Instead these morons hoot and holler when they go up 91 points, instead of only 84
There are things that the Aledo coach could and should have done in such a game, such as emptying his bench and playing kids who usually don’t get to play and making conservative play calls. If he did this, I don’t see a problem. Even if he didn’t and he kept the starters in and ran up the score, I don’t see any basis for disciplinary action; he would just be a jerk.
Bad as it was, if the Aledo coaches kept putting in 2nd and 3rd string, there isn’t anything more to do except for the other team to get better. It would be wrong for Aledo to hold back from playing their best. As for the mom, shut up. She is embarrassing and if I had ever done that, my son would not be talking to me.
One parent filing complaint?
The parent of what, football player on the losing team?
Yo, ‘parent’, tell you kid to play soccer and make sure it is 0 - 0 tie, to preserve your precious child’s fragile psychic.
If the parent wants to see “bullying” wait until he/she sees the ridicule he/she has now opened the entire team up to, for the rest of the season, and beyond, with the ridiculous, pansy “bullying” complaint.
You can lose 91-0 and still hold your heads high if gave your best effort and took your defeat like men. The real embarassment and shame is in crying, “It’s no fair, they bullied us, by playing so much better than us!”
If it starts being expected, it stops being a nice thing to do. No wonder these whining parents have turned out a bunch of losers.
