Just in Case You Need Another Reason to Not Let Your Kid Play Soccer

Read and heed. Your child doesn't need to be playing communist kickball anyway.

In yet another nod to the protection of fledgling self-esteem, an Ottawa children’s soccer league has introduced a rule that says any team that wins a game by more than five points will lose by default. The Gloucester Dragons Recreational Soccer league’s newly implemented edict is intended to dissuade a runaway game in favour of sportsmanship. The rule replaces its five-point mercy regulation, whereby any points scored beyond a five-point differential would not be registered.

Being declared the loser in soccer because you scored too much. Doesn't that sound like Obama's vision for America?
