Doing Your Best Doesn't Really Count Anymore

Schools took away playing tag in our school yards; then dodge-ball was outlawed from those school yards.  Schools then removed the recognition of being a valedictorian and salutatorian from our outstanding scholarly students, because those schools wanted to tell all students that they are all academically exceptional.  In other words, students' self esteem had to be protected.  Well, now it has really gone way too far.  The Northern California Federation Youth Football League has imposed a $200 fine and possible suspension of any coach who allows his team to win a game by 35 points or more under its "Mercy Rule."
