One for Lookout123: Win by more than 5 points = you lose

Eek: life isn't always fair. Sports teach you that important lesson.

When I played real sports, if we got way ahead, the coach would put in the second and third strings...if they could've thrown the cheerleaders on the court they would have. I agree about sportsmanship, I was taught that lesson, too. I had my ass handed to me on the court and on the track, and I graciously lost, just as I graciously, sometimes, won.

It's time we learned: not EVERYONE is good at sports, nor do they have to be. I want a trophy and an A in chemistry: that bitch who always got an A in chemistry wasn't being fair to me...she should have quit at a B, so I would have felt better about myself.

Ugh...

eta: there was a "run rule" in baseball and softball...don't remember what it was exactly but once a team was ahead by a jazillion runs they could call the game: I believe both coaches amicably agreed to this arrangement.
