Apologizing for victory?

[woohoosue]

yup me too....also believe the coaches need a spanking for this ...it is not the eros teams fault they are new and short(not in height in number) ...everyone needs to start somewhere.... but i too think apologiing for winning and forfeitting is wrong....apology by coaches is a MUST!...they really dropped the ball here ... what a shame i want heros teaching my kids ...stories like this just fuel un already apathy filled environment(the Public with our pathetic school system) ... I need more stories about Heros in our schools ..Where are they?

Eejit, this is my last reply to this,but first thank you Sue,I totally agree.Now Eejit without looking I believe your word were,"idiots" play to win or something like that first, no one should call"CHILDREN" idiots!! FINAL. Second these are high schoolers,I want no one teaching my kids your crazy ideas of winning is all that matters.These children will rember this forever, thats just wrong and no I do not think you get it,your entitled to do what ever you want, and to think whatever.If this is your views on this my opioun of you has drastically changed, as I said before the pro's and college levels don't even stoop this low.This is whats wrong with the world today, people with your views.I am done with this subject, this is a great injustice to our scholastic sports.

"idiots, play to win" was the start of my first post.

Idiots was aimed at the people trying to get the winners to apologise.

And sue said some of the same stuff i did!

Your opinion of me has changed because a shool sports tea got their a$$ handed to them at basketball, and im thinking that the team that won shouldnt apologise? Its not all about the winning, BUT, and answer this.

If it ISNT all about the winning, and just the "taking part that counts" attitude, then why has all this fuss started if the kids shouldnt care about the score?? pwned.

To summarise - they lost. Live with it! Ive lost at games by HUGE scores and you just shrug it off. Their obviously not going to be NBA womens pro's, play for fun, aim to win, if you lose, at least you tried. If the Patriots played me and my friends at NFL we would all end up dead and lose 175-0 in 20 minutes. But we woud laugh, and pick ourselves up, and get better fromt he experience!

Yes so heartless. I give to charity for kids, i worked with kids, what i DONT do is give them false hope. If i have kids ill give them all the support the need. If they want to play soccer, ill play with them, i just wont tell them they are good enough to win the world cup if they arent. As they will resent you when they realsie they arent
