I think this story exemplifies the problems with liberal thinking in America today. Here’s what happened.
A girls basketball team killed another girls basketball team on the court. Final damage: 100 – 0.
The coach of the winning team is therefore fired.
Now perhaps it’s because I watch hockey where there’s no such thing as “running up the score” (if you lose 10 to 0 in hockey, about the equivalent of the above, it’s because you suck and you know it…and no one complains that the score was “run up”), but frankly I don’t get the whining over the losing team getting blown out like this. They’ve actually been rewarded for failure, getting free tickets to watch the Mavericks and such.
The team that won requested they be allowed to forfeit the game and their coach is fired. Thus, success is punished and failure is rewarded, and liberalism continues its march.
Note that at no point did anyone on the winning team violate any of the rules of basketball. In fact, I’d say they had ‘em down fairly pat!
To be fair to the losers, as far as the article goes they weren’t the ones complaining about this. It’s the “fans” who watched the game, and the freaking school administration of the winning team, that’s causing all the problems.
A very clear message has been sent to the girls who won that game. HOW DARE YOU BE BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE!
It’s one I fear they’ll learn.
