Team forfeits because they are too small. Thoughts?

Without more info it's hard to pass judgement. I think the fact that 3 players weigh over 300 is a big misleading as to likelihood of injuries. I'd be more concerned about the 240 pound LB that runs well or the 5'9 220 fullback.

 

Probably an overreaction and maybe there are other unspoken reasons. Not enough info.

Interesting. Never seen or heard anything like this.

I rank this as the worst football team of all time. Too scared to walk on the field?

I read the article, and didn't see enough info to really comment.

I was taught and firmly believe that football teaches the game of life as much as it teaches football..........................so what is this teaching? Kind of a parrallel to our society, don't you think?

Exactly.
