    Sportsmanship: is an attitude that strives for fair play, courtesy toward team mates and opponents, ethical behavior and integrity. Embarrassing and demoralizing the other team hardly qualifies. Maybe it's not fair to characterize this coach as emphasizing winning above all but that's the sense I get from his attitute. Winning is great but shoving a game down the other team's throat is hardly a trait I would want my kids to learn.

    The team that lost was the Dallas Academy. This is a special needs school. They also had only seven girls on their team. Good hard competition is one thing. This was just sad.

    There's really not enough information to judge, IMO.
    Who was responsible for organising what would inevitably be a one-sided game?
    Was the coach briefed ahead of time?
    Did any senior represntative of the winning team speak to him or the girls in his team during the break(s)?
    Finally - is the post-game fuss going to "fix" anything or even improve the situation in any way?
