The World Is So Much Better When Every Game Is A Tie
-
Here's another example of Self Esteem Run Amok, this time in Ottawa, where a children's soccer league instituted a rule: Win a game by more than five goals and you lose. It's a bizarre mercy rule, and it's supposed to prevent the humiliation of losing by a lot, but all it does is teach kids NOT to try to do their best, lest someone else be offended. And if you win a game by losing, how does that make your self esteem stronger? Thanks to Jeff Katz at WXKS (Rush Radio 1200)/Boston for the link.
