Holy (literally) Shit. 100-0. Clay Travis had this up earlier and I had to dig a little deeper.
A team that won a basketball game 100-0 is seeking a forfeit because winning that way "does not reflect a Christ-like and honorable approach to competition."
Does Jesus really care about sports? If so, I owe a lot of post-game interview athletes an apology. And, isn't the real sin here the level of SUCK achieved by Dallas Academy?
If god were just, those girls who collapsed and allowed themselves to be drubbed like that would burn in Hell forever. But, that's just me.
"Dallas Academy coach Jeremy Civello told The Dallas Morning News that the game turned into a "layup drill," with the opposing team's guards waiting to steal the ball and drive to the basket. Covenant scored 12 points in the fourth quarter and "finally eased up when they got to 100 with about four minutes left," he said."
What did people in the stands do? I would've paid $50 to see this. As a nonpartisan viewer, I would have lauded the Lady Ballers to the century mark with unbridled enthusiasm.
As for the losers: "several Dallas Academy players said they were frustrated during the game but felt it was a learning opportunity." What did they learn? Apparently nothing between tip-off and the final buzzer. Stand in the lane, throw an elbow, something. I think if they want to protect these girls sensibilities and the sportsmanship of the game, they should institute a mercy rule, or just apply the forfeit score to the same outcome, allowing Covenant to keep the win, but with a 2-o score.
On a personal note, I would have violently fouled out of this motherfuckin' game around the 40-0 mark.
Also, the Covenant coach was fired due to his lack of remorse...and still using full court pressure in the 4th quarter.
