    I'd be more humiliated by the world reading I'm a sports retard just because i get letters mixed up occasionally when I write than any loss.

    Sure the coach took it way too seriously but I still think the article is worse.

    I also don't think any analogies to boxing or contact sports are fair. Of course if someone is getting hit physically you go easy or point score rather than KO.

    The competition is not worth doing someone extra physical damage but a high school game of basketball is not like that at all - it is already only points - until some idiot makes it national news and humiliates the loosing team!

    I'd bet the loosing team disintegrates now and it'll have nothing to do with the loss and everything to do with this unwanted attention for being on a loosing streak and that humiliation. The whole thing should have been handled with a lot more discretion or just let go.

    Being on a loosing team and still finishing and having fun with it is character building. It keeps things in perspective - says you know what this is fun and it's ok not to be perfect. I'm here to hang out with my friends and just give it a go. Some things are just more important than others. Now they can't have that without it being equalling national humiliation!

    .....they COULD but usually they don't otherwise Gerald McClellan would have won by 1st round TKO over Nigel Benn and wouldn't be partially blind, deaf, paralyzed, and living in a trailer on very little if any income.
