A Los Angeles high school is apologizing after facing criticism that its football team didn't simply defeat an opponent but rather trounced the opposing squad by a score of 106-0.
Inglewood High School Principal Debbie Tate issued the statement on Monday, saying that her school's team did not conduct themselves "with sportsmanship or integrity and the final score was unacceptable."

"Our administration and coaching staff believe that athletics should be a source of pride for our community. While Friday's game did not reflect our best judgement as administrators, the Morningside High School and Inglewood High school football players, and their coaches have worked hard all season and deserve our respect," Tate said.

School district officials said they are "saddened beyond words" in regard to the game's score and will conduct an investigation.

"We will conduct a full investigation and take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that a similar outcome never happens again under an IUSD athletic program," county administrator, Erika Torres, said in a statement.

Inglewood High School's quarterback is UCLA-bound and passed for 13 touchdowns in the game. The team scored 56 points in the first quarter, and by halftime was up 83-0.

The most controversial move came when Inglewood's head coach went for a two-point conversion when the team was already up 104-0, tying Hilo High School in Hawaii for the highest-scoring high school football game in the last five years.

Fallout from the game blew up on social media where Dick Vitale agreed with Collins.
"How can the Coaching staff of INGLEWOOD HS California feel good about themselves?" the legendary sports announcer said on Twitter.

"SICKENING & a DISGRACE to the Title of COACH! Congrats on teaching good sportsmanship. U SHOULD BE FIRED!"

We are big into sports in my family, so we watch a lot and collect a lot of sports apparel.

This couple really thought that enrolling their then 16 year-old son in Taekwondo would be the solution and that in 2 month he would beat his 3 bullies. This backfired. It did nothing. One of them end up leg sweeping him and it was over so fast. None of them were impressed at all. He had to be transferred to another school. This was in 2018.

From the little I know about these combat sports, isn't martial arts really to have more discipline within yourself, control your stress and something you're enthusiastic to learn, not go with the idea of beating up bullies? The sensei (instructor) would be telling you to only use self-defense if needed, if it's necessary and then leave.
