Texas prep hoops team wants to forfeit 100-0 win
As the father of a little girl that also struggles with learning differences this story touched me deeply. I’ve never read a clearer example of “losing with dignity” being better than winning.
The coach of The Covenant School team needs to be suspended for the rest of the season at a minimum. And, frankly, asking to forfeit the game after the fact isn’t exactly going to help anyone who was hurt by this classless action. It will only serve to ease a few guilty minds. Sorry folks. You rang the bell already. Now live with the humiliation for the rest of your days like you should. No asterisk is going to fix what you did to those honorable girls that played hard, to the best of their ability, to the very end.
Well done Dallas Academy. You’re obviously striving to create better people at your school.
P.S. I don’t really blame the players from The Covenant School for running up the score. They are young people that were being coached and cheered on to do exactly what they did. I just hope in the light of day they’ve learned a valuable lesson from all of this. Be kind. Be classy. But most importantly – don’t trust adults. We’re all idiots.
