Why should the mercy rule have the responsibility of correcting this problem? If someone has a problem with the blowouts (parents, boosters, coaches, etc.), it should be solved by the school or league itself. These games shouldn't be scheduled. Instead of taking away playing time, they should work harder to make the games competitive. If I coaching the superior team, I don't want these games on my schedule. It's the one opportunity for the end of the bench to get PT and it's being taken away. And wouldn't want the other way around. Take pride in your team or play more equitible competition.
The rules should be there to enforce equality, not console inequality.
