SportsDash: Mercy rule hurting football players it’s meant to protect

The most recent development in the "wussification" of American sports comes from California, where the NCFYFL has instituted a rule that fines youth football teams $200 for beating an opponent by 35 points or more.

The commissioner of the league says the rule is a proactive attempt to keep kids more interested in the game, but SportsDash's Dave Briggs (@davebriggstv) begs to differ.
