Apparently, the winning coach has been fired.

Headline: Successful coach fired for doing his job, poor coach retained for not doing his.

That's really a step too far, winning school.

That'll teach those damn winners to do all that winning! Really is a step too far, considering the winning school seems to be the only one that really cares it won by so much as to make such a fuss over it.

ahahah

I just noticed that these are private schools. No wonder this is happening and being so overblown.

...alright, this is pretty damn ridiculous.

Schools: If you don't want the feelings of your kids to be hurt ever, don't make a damn sport team. Feelings get hurt. Know why? Because EVERY TIME THERE'S A GAME, SOMEONE WILL LOSE. It's not fun to lose, but someone will always lose. If you fear for them feeling bad, let them join something else. What would you do if the test scores of your students surpass those of schools around you? Tell them to hold back? "Play dumb so the other schools don't feel bad." No, you play with your all because it builds character and defines a person later in life. You blame someone for "trying too hard", you're part of the problem. Stop it.

Parents: If you agreed to let your child join a competitive sport, do not get angry when they lose. Sometimes, other kids are simply better. Instead of blaming other children for being better, help your kid get better.

Losing Players: Good on you.

Winning Players: You have no reason to be ashamed for winning. The losing team knew what they were getting into the moment they put on a uniform and hit the court. They hadn't won a game the last four years, and that does not mean you need to go easy on them. You don't need to apologize for having worked hard, built strong teamwork, and becoming a great team.

Seriously. I've been in extracurricular activities, and if someone told me I would have to apologize for winning, I would quit the team. Because you join a team to play a game, not to hold people's hands and worry about how everyone feels. They played the game fairly, they played the game honestly. Yes, they were throwing 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. Whoop-de-fricking-do. You know how HARD it is to reliably hit a 3-pointer? If they had wanted to crush them, they'd have played a Lay Up game and buried them in at least twice as many points. Hell, they were probably trying to loosen up by shooting 3-pointers in the hope that they'd miss and the other team would get the ball.

Just...ridiculous when fair winners need to apologize for having worked hard and succeeding. Ridiculous.
