is it bad sportsman ship .....

[Larry Gude]

I've noticed that nobody has suggested the losing team's coach should have maybe considered forfeiting the game after it became apparent their kids were getting humiliated.

It may have been a disgusting blowout, but I see no reason the winning team should have to limit themselves. In fact, I believe that doing so is not only unfair to themselves, it's also extremely patronizing and serves to do nothing but remove what little dignity the losing team had left. The losing coach should have grown a pair and walked the kids out before it ever even got close to this.

Why? Even getting blown out is still playing. Great opportunity, to me, to reach my girls you don't quit. You finish the game. You keep trying. Isn't that a life lesson? Isn't that one of the reasons we have sport?

Because the 1st time you give up, it gets easier to quit the 2nd time
