(National Post) In yet another nod to the protection of fledgling self-esteem, an Ottawa children’s soccer league has introduced a rule that says any team that wins a game by more than five points will lose by default.Gimme a frickin' break.
The Gloucester Dragons Recreational Soccer league’s newly implemented edict is intended to dissuade a runaway game in favour of sportsmanship. The rule replaces its five-point mercy regulation, whereby any points scored beyond a five-point differential would not be registered.
Kevin Cappon said he first heard about the rule on May 20 — right after he had scored his team’s last allowable goal. His team then tossed the ball around for fear of losing the game.

Win By More Than Five Points and You Lose??
I like Canada because they have good Sno-Cones, but Canadians are apparently a bunch of knickers-in-a-bunch pantywaist sissies, and they don't know crap about raising kids. An Ottawa kids soccer league now has a rule that if you beat a team by more than five points you'll automatically forfeit the game.

Just another lesson for the kids, showing them that if they suck bad enough in their life, someone else can always be made to pay.
ReplyDeleteI guesse in Canada, winning isn't everything...it's nothing!
