100 - 0 win. Winners apologize?

In the absence of a news thread, and the larger repercussions to our society, I'm posting this here.

To sum it up, one girls' basketball team beat another in a 100-to-nothing shutout. The school has gone on record apologizing for the victory.

The worst part? They won fair and square.

I personally think this is stupid. The idea that you'd actually need to apologize for being good at something worries me. Like Harrison Bergeron. If there had been cheating involved, I could see it. However, the defeated school, according to the article, hasn't had a single win in the past several years, and no cheating was involved. I think that their energy would be better spent in, I dunno, improving the team or getting a better coach or something, but they're just basking in the glow of the media attention. They were so bad that they got NBA tickets to cheer them up, for crying out loud. And the winning coach finally told his team to slow down when it was clear they were going to wipe the floor with them. I can see how one team severely outclassed the other, but I think that that should tell the losing school a bit about their program.


Anyone else have thoughts on this?
