Sports Group To Outlaw Scoring At Sports Events
The Washington State Interscholastic Activities Association, the organization that oversees high school sports that has condemned booing at high school sports events is also preparing a policy that would exclude teams from scoring points.
“It makes the other team feel bad,” said Mauro Canese, Kendrich High basketball coach. “The opposing team throws up a three-pointer and my boys get the wind knocked out of their sails. Where’s the fun in that?”
The thinking behind the no-scoring policy is that if no points are scored, fans of both teams can go home happy. The athletes still get a workout and because every one of them are technically winners, all of them will get laid after the game.
