"Too bad sense eludes so many otherwise-sane Americans who have been brainwashed by the win-at-all-costs crusade. At the end of the day, whether we're talking about recruiting battles, high school championships or Little League games, the only thing that seems to matter to many people is the W."
That was written by Mary Buckheit of espn.com about the 8 overtime high school state championship game in Michigan that was declared a 1-1 draw for several reasons, with the biggest concern being that some players were no longer sweating from being so dehydrated. Some people commenting on the game were disgusted that no winner was declared despite the fact that the players on the ice could barely stand. It is a good article worth reading that makes some good points.
