A High School Football Coach in Texas has been accused of bullying. The accusation has not been made because of how he treated his players or non athletes at the school. Instead, the complaint was filed from the parent of a player on a losing team. I understand that parents are protective of their children, but at what point are we going to draw the line between looking out for and babying.
Despite the fact that the accused coach, Tim Buchanan, pulled his starters, ordered kick returners to fair catch and had a running clock starting in the third quarter the score ended up being 91-0 in favor of Aledo High School over Western Hills.

I only have two comments on this head scratching incident. First, should a mercy rule be instigated in High School Football? Is a mercy rule actually more degrading than taking a beating for the full game?
