Political Correctness Finds Another Victim
May 28, 2006
First it was dodgeball and now this. Next year, in the state of Connecticut, high school football coaches will have a limit on how many times their team can score in a game. The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference has come up with what’s being called a “score management” policy. If a team wins a game by more than 50 points the coach of said team will be suspended for one game for “an unsportsmanlike infraction”. Don’t want the poor kids to feel like too big a losers.
“Okay guys, we’re up by 30 points. Thompson, I want you to pass to Smith. Smith, I want you to then give the ball to the other team. We don’t want them to feel left out.”
If you’re team sucks so bad as to fall behind by 50 points maybe you shouldn’t be on the field.

I heard this the other day and almost drove off the road. I agree with the last line, if your team is that bad, find another line of work because evidently coaching isn’t it for you.

I fell on the floor, laughing, when I first heard this. There must be something in the water in Connecticut.

So, when the score is 44-0, and your safety intercepts a pass with nothing but green, you have to tell him to take a dive? What a crock of BS. Sammy Baugh lost
the NFL championship game 73-0, and went on to quite a career, evidently his self esteem wasn’t so crippled by that loss to destroy him.

Yes, I think they’re doing the right thing.
HAHAHA oops, sorry, couldn’t keep a straight face. When I was in elementary school I played softball. My team lost EVERY game. It made me want to play harder and practice more. My self-esteem did not suffer, and the losses made me a bigger person. My high school football team (for which, sadly, I did not play, but watched from the sidelines dressed in my geeky polyester band uniform) lost most games, too. I didn’t feel any shame for being on the losing side.
I think it would be worse, knowing that the other side quit playing because we were so bad that they didn’t even have to try. I’d rather be crushed into the ground and die fighting than to have the opposing team give up on me. That would be the real ego crusher.

btw, i’m glad dodgeball is gone, though. that was brutal. “red rover” needs to be the next to go.

Speaking as a big kid, I ruled in dodgeball. Most times I was usually the last one left on my team. I was good.

Leave it to East Coast libs to not only dumb down the classroom but the football field too. They seek perfection via the lowest common denominator.
