I understand about running up the score with first string in entire game, I'm with you on that but not a teams fault if the other team can't stop your backups.
I read your initial post as basically if you don't want them to keep scoring then "stop them" or have the coach go to the officials and forfeit the game. You never said anything about the subs being in the game. Like I said before, don't care if St X or whomever is playing, but if one team purposely runs up the score on the other team, no matter if the first team is on the field or the subs, then that is bad sportsmanship.
