Bangkok Post, Thailand, Insider Column.
Dec. 13--NO LOSERS OR WINNERS IN THE BRAVE NEW GAME: `Is it me, or has the world gone stark, staring mad, led by the Brits?" a colleague asked as he reflected on a dispatch from the front lines of sport. In Britain, it appears, it is not correct or fashionable to have winners and losers.
A Buckinghamshire football league has banned teams from publicising their match results so that losers are not embarrassed, according to a report in The Times.
It's not the professional ranks, mind you -- the South Buckinghamshire Mini Soccer Conference is for players under 10 years old. Clubs have been cautioned, though, not to mention the score, or which team won or lost, in reports sent to local newspapers.
The title "first team" has also been banned to avoid hurting the feelings of players in other teams.
"In match reports, teams can highlight which boys have scored goals, whether it was a great game, who was Man of the Match and whether the referee did well, but the winning or losing is not an aspect we can go into at junior level," said Trevor Saunders, the league secretary.
"If you lose 15-0 it really hurts these boys, it does them no good at all."
One team, Thames Boys, said it would change leagues because it wanted to be competitive.
