Never had this happen!!!

Forestburg just quit the game with 1:29 left in the 1st half. Saint Jo was up 32-6 and had just recovered a fumble on the +8 yard line and they called a lightning delay. Once they have the all clear, the ref came out and told our head coach that their coach said they were not coming back out. Thoughts?????

Not really sure what you meant by this but the way I look at is no matter how bad your getting beat you finish the game. That is not a lesson to teach your kids. They didn't even come back out to shake our kids hands. The football coach didnt even have the guts to bring our rivalry trophy out and present it to us. Instead he sent the girls volleyball coach out with it. I would be embarrassed to show my face at school on Monday if I was that coach. He will probably just let all his fans and higher ups believe the game was called due to weather.
 
Six man dad-,you left a whole lot of stuff out of your first post, that you included in your second. So I just wondered why you left all that out. Also, I would certainly like to hear the other coach’s justification or reasons as to why they didn’t come back out. But certainly there was no good reason to be a bad sport unless he thought further contact might create a Sanderson—Marfa fracas. So until I hear something other than one side, I can’t judge one way or the other. It Certainly merits further discussion. Unfortunately there are those on this site, and every other site, who make their life’s decisions on emotion. How they FEEL, that way they don’t have to use their brains, common sense, critical thinking or anything else that is mentally challenging to an emotionally immature and intellectually challenged 3 year old. Those folks FEEL, they probably have never had a thought process that lasted more than 5 seconds before they start kicking, screaming, holding their breath and other hysterical behavior that always got momie and daddies attention. It’s easier than thinking and most folks just give to them. Watch TV and you’ll see millions of them.
In any event, I hope you can agree that kids who are under your care and control, kids you are RESPONSIBLE for, come first in any and all situations. So I won’t agree blindly with anyone, until I can hear both sides and get the facts.
 
Gang. We've been through this a few times in the past couple of years. There could be several reasons why this is ok. there could've been health or safety issues. FCSA explained his reason from a long time ago.

The problem I have is that the adults in the room (field) need to communicate with each other. Along with the officials, the head coaches should talk to each other, respectfully, on any reasons. I put the burden on the head coach of the team that is abandoning. We get emotional while playing but you still need to communicate
 
FSCA I did not mean one ounce of disrespect toward you or anyone else. I typed the first post last night shortly after I got home and the second post this morning after I received the post from yourself and others. I,like you would like to explanation from the other side but I am not willing to hold my breath. I come from a household and ran my household when my kids were in school on the precidence that if you start something you finish it no matter what! I would assume that you feel the same way. The way this issue played out was in my opinion not a lesson that I would ever want my children or Grandchildren to learn from.
 
To add to that I will say, the game last night was not a dirty game from either side. There were very few penalties and not one unsportsmanlike penalty. Even though we are big rivals our coach would not ever allow our kids to disrespect another team and I can assure you that they would be riding the pine if they tried.
 
Hey guys thanks for the civility in the discussion now. In my almost 7 decades, at some point I realized a civilized discussion can teach us more than a hysterical, emotional screaming act. When I learned that you can disagree without being disagreeable, and you can respect each other’s position, still not compromising your beliefs, but acknowledging each other’s right to their different opinions, you can learn from what you heard. Hysterical conversations breed emotional distress in which all parties retreat to their corners steaming and fuming and planning their next statement rather than trying to learn anything from the exchange.
Listening, maybe that’s why God gave us two ears and only one mouth.
