When 8-year-old Elijah Burrell intercepted a pass and scored his first touchdown for his team, the Black Knights from Lawrenceville, Ga., he inadvertently caused his team to receive a $500 fine and their coach be suspended for a week.
Why?
Because of a very leftist-minded imposition on the game called the ‘Mercy Rule’, which doesn’t permit a team to score more than 32 points over the other team.

Has anyone read the actual article? The knights scored the pick six and started mocking the other team resulting in a few unsportsmanlike penalties. The other team then refused to score. The fine was also waived.

obummer’s America , penalize the winners and praise the losers
how America was defeated, Communist Party first , contacted corrupt politicians, they slowly started changing the laws, they started putting in place and government other communist infiltrators, and got them jobs within the government,after these agents were placed in government positions, they started sorting out American patriots, real Americans, and replace them with other agents, until small communities are completely taken over, and then went after large cities. they needed more money to fund the overthrow of the government, so they used a large corporation, Kmart first, and then Walmart to put out of business all small American-based businesses, Walmart mostly sold goods from the Communist countries, Walmart used its funds to buy more political offices in government, to continuously put more American people and companies out of business.taking more people out of the workforce,and dumbing down the American citizens, they took overall the education systems, to corrupt the minds of the youth, they use the insurance industry, to undermined the healthcare industry and the legal system, they used the insurance industry to manipulate mass media,in the end all the members of justice system were corrupted,leaving the American people to fend for themselves, because the Americans started to resist,the justice system made self protection illegal, and this was the fall of the United States of America, the government created by the people, for the people,is this how you want the history of the United States to play out,because without your involvement, without your participation,this is how history will remember the United States of America !
