The sissification of America continues.

Go ALEDO!

Who started those limp and feeble 'participation trophies' and other such 'rewards'? I got no time to suss it all out right now.

The trophy companies, duh.

I hope they don't apply the same standards to science fairs these days.

MIT and Cal Tech... the biggest bullies around!

That's right there were two wars. Nerds 1 and Nerds 2

Go ALEDO!

No wonder that team is brutal, they're wearing Winnipeg uniforms.

A bullying charge is stupid, but having one team in a league that is winning every game by 80 points is pretty stupid too.

You really need an 80 point cushion? If I'm the coach of that team, i'd swap out the defensive and offensive lines, make it a game. If I'm the coach of another team, I'd wonder aloud what good it does for all the other teams to be humiliated and for the one team to have no competition. A brief google demonstrated that Aledo alumni are not overrepresented for NFL players. You're not doing the kids any favours.

Really good point. Apparently, Aledo competed in past years in an elite league, but was transferred into a local league this year to 'keep travel costs down".

Texas elite football schools get kids moved in to 'bolster their ranks'. Interesting system.

That happens down here a lot. We have a town that is pretty darn good and competes with the best in the state. But the joke is...

"How many Everett Football players will sleep in Everett tonight?"

I don't know how they get away with it.
