When 8-year-old Elijah Burrell intercepted a pass and scored his first touchdown for his team, the Black Knights from Lawrenceville, Ga., he inadvertently caused his team to receive a $500 fine and their coach be suspended for a week.
Why?
Because of a very leftist-minded imposition on the game called the ‘Mercy Rule’, which doesn’t permit a team to score more than 32 points over the other team.

Stupid!
The mercy rule should have been used before that point. Sounds like another td was inevitable. Can’t hesitate if the other team has a bad coach and players
That’s B******T.
If you want to play with a mercy rule, when one team is ahead by 32 points the game is over.
How can you tell the kids not to score??
Assholes.
This liberal nonsense has got to stop. They are ruining a once great nation,
B.S.
Now, now everyone settle down! They probably needed the $500 to purchase “participation trophies for their little snow flakes so their feelings wouldn’t get hurt and take them for pizza and ice cream to help them get over their life scarring loss!
Stupid
Another liberal punish success scheme.. Take Names and expose the idiots
Then the game should be over at 32 point lead
Fortunately, liberals are being rejected by voters on a local, regional, and national scale. Hopefully, this continues.
