Another Local Victim of Swine Flu: Sportsmanship Rituals!
On Saturday, the Tenleytown Tigers of the Stoddert Soccer League whupped 13-and-under division rivals from the French International School, 4-1.
But when the girls from both teams lined up for the usual post-game handshake, they were told to steer clear of each other.
Not even fist bumps.
"They waved at each other and a few girls bowed," says a Tenleytown parent. "That's what the league wanted."
No player from either team has since been diagnosed with Swine Flu. Guess the no-handshake rule worked.

French International School soccer players don't fist-bump -- they headbutt, like Zinedine Zidane.
