Soft generation... Check this out

So I was curious and looked it up. The Gilmer Buckeyes AVERAGED 61.4 points per game in the regular season of 2014.

Had we been in New York, I would imagine that team would have been disqualified from entering the playoffs.

Why do older generations make these rules? Makes no sense to me. Let the kids get dominated. Some guy 30 years ago must have gotten his feeling hurt and now that he has power gets his revenge. 

Literally rules made by 50/60/70 year olds and enforced by them yet the older generation complains that it’s this generation that is soft. 

Ultimate hypocrisy.

People here complain all the time about scores being run up, too. Jason Herring is worse than Hitler to some of these folk.

That said, the rule is really dumb. Just end the game at the half if the margin is 42+ at the half or becomes such at any point in the second half.

It has nothing to do with age......it comes from political viewpoint.  Have you ever heard of Liberalism aka Socialism???  There's your answer for many of these "new" rules in society.  It's the times we live in and the infiltration of socialism into our schools, society, and government. It's not age or gender or generation.....it's those in control.  Wake up and smell the coffee......look around you and use the brain that God gave you......for heaven's sake, literally!

Okay, does anyone actually know how old the guys or women are who made this idiotic rule?

This is why you don't hear about star football players from New York.

Just FYI: Yoe was up over Manor New Tech 42-0 at the end of the first quarter

Most of the people who legislate these rules are the children of the hippie/flower child generation. For you GenX, millennials and Woke folks go look up the 60’s protesters and see who they were.

Flukeshot, thank you for pointing that out.  Yes, let's not have the Smoaky.com forum posters get too high and mighty.  Many on this very site were raking Jason Herring over the coals 5-6 years ago, they just didn't have the power to make a stupid rule like these people in the great northeast did.  A bit of hypocrisy going on here on Smoaky.  A bunch need to send apology letters to Refugio because they would have suspended him in a heartbeat and were all too glad to see the northeast network (ESPN) come down to Texas and run a story about the atrocities he was committing down in Texas with this immoral scores being put up on opponents.  Where are all those people now to defend this wonderful policy of suspending coaches for scoring too many points?

Agreed! Unfortunately, by trying to insulate kids from anything that could hurt their feelings, we now have adults who have difficulty dealing with the ordinary trials & tribulations of life, not to mention anything major that might happen.

 But go easy on GenX would ya? At least some of us anyway. Most folks don’t realize that Generation X starts in 1965 which means “1st year” GenXers like me are fast approaching 55, & there’s not a whole lot of difference in us & the Baby Boomers born in the decade before us, as we were raised very similarly. However, the Millennials (1981-1996), well, they’re as different from us as day & night.

Sorry you’re probably right, most GenX born south of the Mason-Dixon likely know the difference between left and right. I’m a late Boomer but I remember all the radicalism from the 60’s. What we have today is a direct by-product.

Agreed! The mess of the decade following the Kennedy assassination fundamentally changed this country in many ways, & we’re still paying for it today.
