Yeah... that fits, doesn't it?

"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."

"The rule replaces its five-point mercy regulation, whereby any points scored beyond a five-point differential would not be registered." --
Soccer...isn't that the game where guys bump into each other... fall down... and scream like little babies?

Hmmm... here's a thought... if Michael Ignatieff falls far enough behind in the polls... do we have to crown him King of Canada?

P.S. -- Don't miss the comments @ the National Post... I think the "league organisers" are gonna have to enter the witness protection program.
