Who says the opponents were embarrassed? And if they were - then would you argue that embarrassment should be eleminated from ALL aspects of the high school curriculum? And if a child is blown out on a math test and gets a zero, we should just give him a D- instead to save from embarrassment? As you know - liberals love that approach even though it doesn't work.

I didn't make that argument. That's a strawman. This is teaching young people sports, where we are trying to instill certain values, like sportsmanship. Embarrassing your opponent is not a value of sportsmanship. In math class, we are trying to teach math.
