Poll: Kid Banned From Scoring For Being Too Awsome

As long as the kid is cool with it i dont see a problem. Its not an ideal ruling but the other kids need to be allowed to play.
Lets face it, this kid likely has an incredibly bright future ahead, i think he can probably live with being held back a little in the meantime

Obviously you've never heard of the bell curve. I got into a lot of fights in school for screwing other kids grades because I skewed the bell curve. Don't know what I mean? Look up bell curve grading, I don't have the energy to devote to explaining it.SacremPyrobolum said:
Suffice to say that because I tended to ace tests (100%) other kids grades got screwed u by the curve.
How can you be sure? I recon some kids do, competitive kids. Hell, top of the top chefs sometimes commit suicide when they are beaten. How's that for self confidence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Loiseaugenericusername64 said:
When you are in to something so immensely, being your job or hobby, and you get beaten in any way, while being very good at it, is hell I imagine.
Also, OT
The kid seems fine with it, and when he's in 7th grade he'll have no restrictions. He'll beat everyone then.
Come on now America. Grow up. And let your kids grow up as well. Or they will be having a hard time when they are let loose into the real world where nothing is fair.
Also, Isn't this Communism? I thought Americans didn't like that sort of thing.

It'd not nice, but from the point of view of the other kids i am kinda glad, it's not like they are gonna lose out not having this kid be able to score every time he gets the ball. anyway i think it's pretty galling when you entire tactic is "GET THE BALL TO HIM". not much fun anyway, but hey this is junior crap, the fact that he needs a handicap proves he has the talent to take this a hell of a long way.
While this sounds kind of silly at first, this is going to hopefully stop him from 2 things, 1) He might not get such an inflated ego as to think he is better than everyone else ever. and 2) The other kids won't want to hurt him because they never get to play.
I think as long as this doesn't hinder his stats when in highschool and doesn't somehow prevent him from scholarships and college then by all means they should implement this rule
Edit: The title of the forum is very misleading as well, it should be something more like "Kid only allowed to score 3 times a game if his team is up by 14"

Yeah, nice message they are sending to the kids in the other team: don't worry, boys, if you can't handle someone, we'll just handicap them so you have a fair chance. I would be secretly stoked to find out that they are pulling a dick move just for me, so it might be a confidence boost for the kid. Anyway, he's eleven, and he's got a long, long way to prove himself.
Reminds me of that kid who threw his baseballs a bit too fast for his age group or w/e so the opposite team wouldn't play his team if he participated so they made him stand out. Bunch of fuckwits.
He's not being banned from playing. He's being told if he scored three touchdowns already, and they're already ahead by two to not do more. So please don't crush your enemies into dust, just mush them into pudding. And he's okay with it. It's like playing street fighter and giving one player a handicap, it's fine. and it's only until 7th grade, so as long as it doesn't matter.
ONE: They're really young
TWO: They're still guaranteed to win with him, it just gives the other kids a chance
THREE: By the time the rule gets enforced (14 point lead) they haven't limited the kid any, Spock take it from here:

I just think this is a bit silly, but I do think it's alright to "ban" him to level out the teams a bit.

Hey, great idea:Treblaine said:
"I warned you the parasites would do this"
Spock Vs. Andrew Ryan, who would win?
I think that's actually thread worthy.
That's the world we live in. If one kid is too badass, the other kids will cry, so the awesome kid gets taken out of the game so the others can "feel better." I feel like my grandpa...
The title of this thread sort of tickled me because of the different meaning of "score".
Anyways, this isn't too unusual. Sports at that age are for fun, and it sort of ruins it for the other kids when an ueberkind is crushing them. This isn't like a sports league in Middle or High school... it's just a little youth league. Most people who played in one as a kid can testify this might of happened to a player on their team.
