High School Football Team Too Good, Nobody Wanted To Play Them | NBC Nightly News

[cardboardboxman]

Wow, imagine playing football and not wanting to play because you’re scared you’re gonna get hurt

[Yes-uuko]

Why are the parents acting like it’s the kids fault for being 6’9

[TheRealBirdmann]

Wildcats: Good game good game good game..

that game: 48-0

[PixelPigy]

Imagine how many kids didn’t get any scholarships because the scouts had no games to go to. That is just sad on the other teams

[frens_till_the_end]

So the lesson these parents are trying to teach is, “if there’s a challenge seeming to big, quit?”

[anthonybrown]

That's ridiculous, what are those parents trying to teach their kids? If there's a challenge that appears to difficult in life just give up? Pathetic.

[bigboijames]

Imagine being a coach and forfeiting a game because you’re scared of the other team

[andrewbrady]

“How tall are you”
6 foot 8
No way that kid is that tall. He was barely if not 2 inches taller than that 6-3 guy

[trevercoxworth]

Them schools who forfitting should just turn their pads in and take up cross country team

[Crantick]

0:43 Just called her son a VW Bug lmao

[rickymaldo]

They won’t have this problem in Texas or California.

[sgc]

Cali, texas or even florida high schools would love to play yall.

[ColbyVerHoeven]

As someone who lives near the school, they have been shrouded in controversy as they are a private school that recruits the biggest and best athletes from around the state, and plays in a conference of tiny small town schools way undersized. This is not a matter of schools being scared, but more of a protest of what that school is doing, and how they are seeded unfairly

[mikewubben]

So we're transitioning from the "participation trophy" era to the "don't even show up" era.

[victoriasmith]

The “Thank you guys.” And “Good Game”’s were so cute and respectable.

[zacharyvaldes]

Lmfaooo everyone in the comments getting defensive af because they called this team too good.

[AlvaChris]

Football team: _looks like they couldn’t handle the neutron style_

[nickkahwaty]

How about they go to Texas or Florida or big five in NJ

[Liljordyyy]

Imagine being the kid surrounded by parents telling them they aren’t playing against arch bishop

[musictube]

It is clear that they are playing in the wrong division. They should be playing 3 or 2 division highschool football, yet they are playing on 4 division.
