The Northern California Federation Youth Football League changed its so-called mercy rule this season to prevent teams from winning by large margins.

If a team in the league, which has players between the ages of 7 and 13, wins by 35 points or more, the coach gets a one-week suspension and the team gets fined $200.

Why not just stop the game once they get up 35?

Wow. So Coaches will start to kneel the ball in the 3rd or allow offenses to score.
Great way to make kids better.

Well that sucks.
Can you imagine trying to play a football game like that?
"Well, I want to score a lot of points....but not too fast...and if I score that many points, I have to let the other team score too, or I will get fined".

What a shock

Only in California can a 2nd half of kneel downs and purposefully given up TDs be considered merciful. No way any of these people ever played sports.

A team should run the score up to 56, then stand still
on defense till the other team scores a few TDs.
Lets see how the fans like that.
Or after a 35 point lead you just stand still on defense and still score on offense.

I think we usually just had a running clock at a certain point in the 2nd half when you were up by a certain point total. I liked that better so the game ended quicker.

And what if the team is scoring on defense as well?
"Hey Johnny, I know you really want to score your first touchdown, and you don't get to play much, but supposing you get an interception I'm going to need you to fall over or run backwards."
Thanks Obama.

Is that any better than having a parent file a bullying complaint?

You could have just titled the thread Pussification of California since everything there is pussified.
