My ghetto high school waterpolo team had 8 players. We played "ironman"; the whole team played the whole game, every game. Meanwhile schools that had more white kid pool boys averaged about 20 players. So they had fresh swimmers every 2 minutes, and bleachers packed with cheering, even at away games. We couldn't fill seats at home. We got rolled a lot because there just wasn't enough players/interest. Honest question, did you mind getting "rolled"? I haven't played soccer since I was like.. 12? But I barely remember the wins, while I have fond memories of many of our losses (dirt pitch + rain + being the goalkeeper vs a better team... oh man so fun ![]() I honestly don't get what's so bad about losing, and I'd never think to blame the other team for beating me too hard. What the hell, ever since the first day I started playing SC seriously I've been trying to play people better than me - losing is fun, it motivates you, keeps you pushing harder. Blah, wimps today! Btw, I'd probably be more embarassed by the other team starting to soft-play (in a serious match) than them continuing to take you seriously until the very end.

Okay, take it from me. My school never won a sports game for like two years. We were TERRIBLE. We were a new school, so we started off our history by being "the easiest team to beat." Every football game, we'd be down 50-0 at least by halftime. I was on the tennis team and our team never won a match as a team once. Usually in the team games, the other teams would take the gas off the pedal after halftime and put in the 4th string to let them have a game b/c you've already secured victory and you risk less injury. In my tennis matches, when I played the state champion, he proceeded to just demolish me. But one-on-one is different than team games as you can have subs. | ||

As you can imagine we got rolled quite a few times, and it never bothered us, we always went in with a winning mentality and never let a team take pity on us. The problem here was that the losing team probably quit at the end of the first quarter, which is truly unsportsmanlike, if you take every loss as a opportunity to practice a sport you love and improve, then, like my team, at the end of the year you will be MUCH better and may end up winning a few of the last games, even though they don't matter league wise they matter in the long run. so to the winning team, fuck you for offering a forfeit, that is disrespectful as hell, especially since you didn't give a flying crap when you were playing. and congratulations on the win, you won because you trained harder and played better. to the losing team, i refer you to Rekrul's post, or just stfu about it and improve | ||

It was very easy to find http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2012465/posts + Show Spoiler [WARNING - EXTREMELY cheesy story] + PORTLAND, Ore. - With two runners on base and a strike against her, Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon University uncorked her best swing and did something she had never done, in high school or college. Her first home run cleared the center-field fence. But it appeared to be the shortest of dreams come true when she missed first base, started back to tag it and collapsed with a knee injury. She crawled back to first but could do no more. The first-base coach said she would be called out if her teammates tried to help her. Or, the umpire said, a pinch runner could be called in, and the homer would count as a single. Story continues below ↓ advertisement Then, members of the Central Washington University softball team stunned spectators by carrying Tucholsky around the bases Saturday so the three-run homer would count — an act that contributed to their own elimination from the playoffs. Central Washington first baseman Mallory Holtman, the career home run leader in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, asked the umpire if she and her teammates could help Tucholsky. The umpire said there was no rule against it. So Holtman and shortstop Liz Wallace put their arms under Tucholsky’s legs, and she put her arms over their shoulders. The three headed around the base paths, stopping to let Tucholsky touch each base with her good leg. “The only thing I remember is that Mallory asked me which leg was the one that hurt,” Tucholsky said. “I told her it was my right leg and she said, ‘OK, we’re going to drop you down gently and you need to touch it with your left leg,’ and I said ‘OK, thank you very much.”’ “She said, ‘You deserve it, you hit it over the fence,’ and we all kind of just laughed.” “We started laughing when we touched second base,” Holtman said. “I said, ’I wonder what this must look like to other people.”’ “We didn’t know that she was a senior or that this was her first home run,” Wallace said Wednesday. “That makes the story more touching than it was. We just wanted to help her.” Holtman said she and Wallace weren’t thinking about the playoff spot, and didn’t consider the gesture something others wouldn’t do. As for Tucholsky, the 5-foot-2 right fielder was focused on her pain. “I really didn’t say too much. I was trying to breathe,” she told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Wednesday. “I didn’t realize what was going on until I had time to sit down and let the pain relax a little bit,” she said. “Then I realized the extent of what I actually did.” “I hope I would do the same for her in the same situation,” Tucholsky added. As the trio reached home plate, Tucholsky said, the entire Western Oregon team was in tears. Central Washington coach Gary Frederick, a 14-year coaching veteran, called the act of sportsmanship “unbelievable.” For Western Oregon coach Pam Knox, the gesture resolved the dilemma Tucholsky’s injury presented. “She was going to kill me if we sub and take (the home run) away. But at the same time I was concerned for her. I didn’t know what to do,” Knox said. Tucholsky’s injury is a possible torn ligament that will sideline her for the rest of the season, and she plans to graduate in the spring with a degree in business. Her home run sent Western Oregon to a 4-2 victory, ending Central Washington’s chances of winning the conference and advancing to the playoffs. “In the end, it is not about winning and losing so much,” Holtman said. “It was about this girl. She hit it over the fence and was in pain, and she deserved a home run.” | ||

It never really bothered us, no. Like, if we lost a match, no big deal. There was another school in our district that had only slightly better turnout for waterpolo. They were also scant on white students (only white kids swim competitively: buoyancy and culture, who cares). When we would lose badly, the game would turn into a drill, just like with these basketball chicks. We had an intense practice schedule. Tuesday/Thursday: 6am - 9am, Mon/Tuesday/Thursday: 4pm - 8pm. After I graduated, they found out those hours were illegal; we were "practicing too much." haha. I remember some guys broke down during practice... either crying or just throwing a tantrum here or there. We were pushed hard. Everyone on the team was pretty yoked, though. It was the best shape I've ever been in. | ||
