First let me help you by defining sportsmanship:conduct (as fairness, respect for one's opponent, and graciousness in winning or losing). I would like to draw your attention to the words "or losing".

I am not aware of a "mercy" rule in the Butler Area Midget Football League. If there is one, please let me know. As there may not be, what would you have us do, give the other team a turn to score by not trying to defend our goal? These boys have been practicing very hard, working as a team (a combined team - for which I am very proud of the work they have done).

At halftime the first string was replaced by the 2nd and 3rd string. During the second half "dive plays" were run - keeping all of our offensife plays contained within the defensive tackles. There were no passes by the Mustangs during the 2nd half.

How much more would you have us give the Penn Street Cardinals?

Did you stay for the entire game? Did you see all of the players and coaches on both teams take a knee on the field? Penn Street coaches 'thanked' Mustang coaches! I wish to also thank the East Side Mustang Coaches! What a group of wonderful men. You would be lucky to call any of them your friend!
