You must favor a forfeit, considering you expect the Israelis to come in and make a "fair" opening offer to Hamas.

Puts Stoops to shame.

Don't forget the raping and pillaging.

This basketball game is a disgrace. I hope the coach of the winning team gets fired.

Amazing.

Dallas Academy is known for its work with students who have learning problems, such as short attention spans and concentration. Dallas Academy headmaster Jim Richardson said those problems sometimes manifest themselves on the court.
Asked about the final score Wednesday by e-mail, Covenant coach Micah Grimes responded: "It's unfortunate we got to 100 points in the game against Dallas Academy. It just happened, and we are not happy about that.
"Please know Covenant intended no harm against them. I see this as a real learning opportunity, so we can prevent this from happening in the future."

We have a much watered down similar incident.

In soccer, it is traditional among good sports that a dominant team reposition its players against an inferior team once the score gets out of hand, and then to start pulling players to reduce the numbers.

I heard the score of a team in our club defeating another team 15-0. I complained that the coach should be embarrassed, but the coach explained he had petitioned to allow his team to play up and decided to load up to show the league that it should move the boys up. Pity the poor teams who will suffer shallackings to see the coach's point.

Yeah but was it against a team full of special ed kids? That's what puts this one really beyond the pale. I wonder if for the next blowout they've lined up Mount St. Mary's School for the Blind.

The losing team canceled the rest of their league games. Presumably to teach their girls how to respond to adversity.

There are 20 girls in the entire school. The article I read, said they lost a recent game 41-8. That's a "better" score. But how much better?

I'm not sure that "special ed" is the right description. I'm not sure.

I will make the further point, that in my life, I have seen little correlation between academic performance and basketball ability.
