I believe in competition, learning how to both win and lose gracefully. This is an extraordinary situation - having one team outclass its opponent to such an extreme degree is rare. In such a case, common sense and a sense of honor trump other concerns. When the score reached 40-0, wasn't it clear what was happening? To score another 60, 80, or 200 points only serves to make the winning team look shameful & crude. It's as hollow a victory as me beating my 5 year old son in a boxing match. Those who think the firing is political correctness run amok just don't get it.
