It showcases several administrative failures, really

1) These teams shouldn't have been playing each other in the first place, clearly. Though it was a non-league game or something? So yeah, i don't see the point in sticking to the rules if that were the case. Schools need to be placed based on their ability to field a good team, but this varies based on which part of which state you live in.

2) All sports need a mercy rule. Something big enough to be rarely implemented, but certainly present to prevent things like this from happening, because yeah, getting your ass handed to you is not fun, and the people who call it a "learning experience" have obviously never had it happen to them. Getting destroyed doesn't teach you anything, it just makes the game un-fun, and makes the experience cruel after a certain point. It's not war, it's a damn sport, and if something's happening to make it un-sporting, there's no reason to keep playing.

A suspension would be a bit much, though. I mean, you can't make the guy apologize or anything for doing what he was supposed to do, though his admission that he didn't want it to go down like that certainly helps.

Played many sports? I have and I have been on both ends, whether it be getting blown out regularly or enjoying winning streaks.

To the ones who find it un-fan and don't want to play anymore, good. Let them quit. That only opens the door to the other ones who wanted to play but couldn't get onto the team due to limited roster space.

Playing sports on a high school level isn't a right. It's a priviledge. 

You might disagree but as a long time sports player this has always been my view and I always took that view with me when I went out there to play.
