[QUOTE="Homicidal_Squirrel, post: 6206844, member: 6750031"] Well, sometimes the consequences may be light. Getting beaten in a game isn't too bad. A 91-0 score is more like being humiliated. And that also has consequences that aren't light. Whether this particular incident was a case of bullying, I can't say. I don't think it is. The coach of the team that won said he put in his third string players. So it doesn't appear that he was trying to run up the score. Then again, there is the possibility that he put in his third string and was saying things to the players on the field. There's no proof from the article that he did, but it's possible. In any case, I think this is more of a failure of the system. The NCAA doesn't seem to have a mercy rule. They should have. The article mentioned that the high school sports commission, or whatever the association is called, has a rule where the game would have been stopped if there was a 30 to 50 point difference. It was a failure of the losing team's coach for not stopping the game. He could have decided to take his team off the field and forfeited the game. And the losing team's school also failed because, at least according to the winning team's coach, they don't put the money into their football program. There is plenty of blame to go around for this massacre of a game. There are a lot of things they can do to fix these problems without taking away score keeping, which was never even discussed in the article, so I'm a bit confused as to why that was being discussed. Also, it's understandable why a parent would be upset that this happened. No one likes to see their kids get beat. No one really wants to see their kids get humiliated this bad. And really, what are the kids going to learn from being beaten in a 91-0 game? [/QUOTE]
