What's all the Fuss.......About?


100 - 0..................

From Yahoo Sports:

Team regrets 100-0 win



A lot of people are up in arms.......very upset..........They say, "It's a crying shame...this was so unfair!"

In Dallas, Texas.......a girls high school basketball game was played. Well, sort of.... One team played, shot baskets, rebounded, scored......and the other team didn't.

The Covenant School beat Dallas Academy, 100-0. The score was 59-0 at the half and 88-0 after 3 quarters.

This game was played 10 days ago on January 13. Yesterday, officials from The Covenant School paid a visit to Dallas Academy to apologize.....and forfeit the game.

Covenant School to forfeit 100-0 win over Dallas Academy (from the Dallas Morning News)

Why? Both teams were in the same classification and region. Both teams played five on five. No age differences.

But ........All of America is upset by what is seen as a bully, in The Covenant School, beating up on an inferior Dallas Academy team.

America, sports fans, media..........Get over it. Life .......is not fair. There are always going to be winners.......and losers. These young ladies will not be scarred for life. They will not grow up to be serial killers......blaming their state of mind on a meaningless basketball game played in their youth.

Inequality is ramped through all of man.......and woman-kind. There is the wealthy and poor....the ugly and the beautiful..........the dumb and the smart.......the fat and the skinny.

And there is the talented basketball teams and the untalented teams. These two just happened to meet on the same court. Sometimes ....things just happen.

What's all the fuss........it was just a game.

  1. While I agree all things are not always equal...What about a little common sense and decency. When it was 59-0 at halftime, the winning team should have graciously accepted the victory and not played the 2nd half.

  2. Shame on the Covenant School! It took the coaches 10 days to apologize and they only did it because of the outcry from the media!
