Parents Accuses Football Team of Bullying Due to High Score

An anonymous parent in Texas is accusing the Aledo High School football team of bullying after his son’s football team lost the game 91-0.  Despite the Aledo coach’s best efforts to lessen the blow, by switching out the first string players and having them not play as aggressively as usual, the score kept getting higher and higher. 

After the report by the parent of a Fort Worth Western Hills player there was an investigation by the school district into whether or not the game was a actually a case of bullying.  The investigation turned up nothing and most officials agree that it was not in fact a case of bullying by the winning team. 

The coach of the losing team released a statement saying how the Aledo team played harder and had more skill in the game, which is not bullying but how you are supposed to play the game. The Aledo High School football team outscores their opponent by an average of 77 points per game but this was the first time that a disgruntled parent tried to use bullying to intervene and some think that it can downplay the seriousness of actual bullying that takes place in sports and classrooms alike.
