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.

The refs should be fined for not stopping the game. OH THERE’S NO MERCY RULE IN WAR.
you have got to be kidding me….
Wow, somebody is a sore loser!
Seriously! Looks like the other team needs to play better lol practice more etc..; its a game! The objective is to win. If the other cant handle losing the winners should be made to feel guilty. Ridiculous!

This is going a little to far don’t you think?
Oh wait, we don’t want to make anyone feel bad right? Shouldn’t we give everyone a trophy just for showing up? We don’t want to have this whole compe$#%&!@*ion thing ruining it for everybody. Here’s a crazy thought – how about we teach our kids the value of compe$#%&!@*ion a little when they’re young so they don’t grow up to be en$#%&!@*lement babies instead of drowning them in the same socialist rhetoric that is being spouted out of the White House right now? Learn how to lose with dignity, learn how to win with humility, and learn how to make yourself better. That rule is just indoctrinating our young people into a mindset that will lead them to failure when they’re older. Wow…
Obvious answer. Find the shill who invoked this idiotic rule and stomp his testicles into the floor till he pays the team back $500, then fire him, and play on. Liberalism is a disease that natural selection is meant to cure.
Sports are meant to teach you how to win and lose (in life) with dignity.
I hate these new no score/can’t score rules in today’s youth sports.
$500 fine isn’t very merciful.
