This sounds hazing related. I think I need to talk to my EO, Sergeant.

My only hope now is that, when they play again, the coach leaves the first stringers in and just pounds them into absolute jelly, while smoking a cigar shouting "WHO"S THE BULLY NOW!!!"

The media should feel bad about this. The game sucked for the losers. It happens. Ties are rare in HS sports, there is usually a losing team. They don't need it broadcasted through the whole US. Sounds like the winning coach did the right thing. The people accusing him of being a bully need to shut their yaps. Pure stupidity.

It's highschool sport. Whatever. You get pumped, you tell some jokes on the bus ride home while the coach sulks and then you get on with the stuff in your life that actually matters. Calling it bullying and trying to make a fuss about it is bizarre.

You're not American or Southern/Texan, so you wouldn't understand that football is life here.

Seb... Platuan4th is right. In some parts of the US, HS "hand egg" American Football is a religion. I'm not even joking...

Back in CO we have the "Slaughter" rule. (It's actually the Mercy rule, but you know whatever, semantics ) but at a certain points disparity the game ends.
