Don’t Hurt My Feelings, You Brute.

From the National Post (Canada):

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.

Kevin Cappon said he first heard about the rule on May 20 — right after he had scored his team’s last allowable goal. His team then tossed the ball around for fear of losing the game.

He said if anything, the league’s new rule will coddle sore losers.

And once these gentle snowflakes reach adulthood maybe we should also guarantee everyone lives in the same size house, and drives the same model car, and earns the same income.
