In a fight, and sports are ritualized fights, when the guy who is clearly winning asks, "Had enough?" the guy who is getting his ass kicked can say "Uncle" and the fight is over.
That might be appropriate like the run rule or slaughter rule that Shawnee and Hawkeye mention.
To penalize someone for winning as being unsportsmanlike is stupid. The other team keeps coming back out on the field means they haven't given up. And in some cases, maybe that is a great lesson to learn: Not giving up even when you haven't got a snowflake's chance in hell.
