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.

Unconscionable!
You are right. Game should have been stopped and Elijah’s team should have been declared the winner. To fine a kids team is ridiculous.
That’s right you idiot libs. Penalize success and applaud mediocrity. Your plan for America stinks.
What right do they have to STEAL money? If there is a stupid mercy rule then don`t count the frigging touchdown thieves!

What a bunch of BS!!
No place for pc or participation trophies in this country. Liberal IDIOT’S!
Idiot America!
That is what is wrong with the whole bunch of liberals trying to say there are no losers but in the real world someone looses and someone wins every day weather it is a job or what ever!
Back when I was in high school there was one school that had all the best players in our division, my team played them expecting to be stomped and we were it was a shutout in under 20 minuets 10 – 0 and guess what we as a team chose to keep playing until the game time was up. It didn’t matter to us we wanted to play and maybe learn some moves from the other team who destroyed us. Only losers give up winners keep playing and learn something new, your only a loser when you give up, always keep going choose to stay in the fight. And be proud that you tried, enough with the feeling getting hurt keep practicing and don’t take it to seriously or you’ll never have fun.
