I don't get what all the fuss is about. So what, a middle school team from Kentucky routed a neighboring middle school by 98 points in a recent basketball matchup. Final score: 100-2. As far as I'm concerned, if you can't drop more than 2 points in a game, just drop the basketball program. No child wants to go out there and lose by 98 points and then have to go to school the next day and explain why they suck horribly. Save the kids from humiliation. I blame the school for even letting those kids go out there and play. However, the super-independent for the power house winning school district wants to cancel the team's season because of "lack of sportsmanship." Lack of sportsmanship? If you have a lesser opponent, you have to kick them while their down. A lack of sportsmanship would have been to stop scoring, which would have completely disrespected the game of basketball. Beating a team by 98 points is how you do it. The team that scored 2 points, they should try and take their "talents" to chess club.
This is bad sportsmanship and on Thanksgiving of all holidays...
