In
yet another nod to the protection of fledgling self-esteem, an Ottawa
children’s soccer league has introduced a rule that says any team that
wins a game by more than five points will lose by default.
Kevin Cappon said he first heard about the rule on May 20 — right after
he had scored his team’s last allowable goal. His team then tossed the
ball around for fear of losing the game.
“Heaven forbid when these kids get into the real world. They won’t be
prepared to deal with the competition out there.”

I know what you're saying. "But Rodge, that's in Canada."
So was nationalized health care. You want a solution?
Here's a solution. Whenever you get a sense that others in your
community are outraged by stuff like this, act. Find out who's in
charge and read the riot act. Didn't work? Picket his
house. Didn't work? Hang him.

I would dare say my team would be perfectly content with being winless at the end of the season.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of some union places where you get in trouble if you work too hard and make some lazy bastard next to you look bad.
ReplyDeleteI coach a soccer team. We have to pull a player when up by five, right here in the nation's capital. I found out because we won a game by 8. The horror. The other coach was fuming, called us unsportsmanlike and almost got in a fight with one of our kid's dad. We are becoming nation of pussies.
ReplyDeleteI would start making goals against my team and keep us 4 up the whole time. What fun!

ReplyDeleteUh-uh. You score own goals and make sure you lose by 30. Therefore you win.
Unless the other team realizes what you're doing and sends their goalie down to your end.
