No need to apologise
However, many netizens saw no issue with the scoreline, with others saying there was no need for Principal Tate to apologise.
Here are some of the comments:
@willjump4food:
“The other team didn’t quit, what’s the deal? Sometimes you get clobbered, that’s sports.”
@daisythedog_sf:
“Don’t. Period. Why apologise for being good? Sorry the other team isn’t. If it’s so lopsided then play in a different division.”
@agerace20:
“They're built different. Don't punish the champs.”
@dimitrikatsa:
“They should apologise for not scoring more!”
@diymusicbiz:
“106 to 0? Sounds like a new coach is needed.”
