when luma blew her whistle a few minutes later, the final score was 3 - 2 in favor of the seventeens. luma waved the fifteens over. \fifteens, you played a decent game,\ she told them. \kanu, if i see you lose your temper again, youre off the team. theyre going to foul you in a game and youll get red - carded.\ kanu shook his head in disappointment with himself. he knew he had made an error, the kind that could put the whole team in jeopardy. coach had let him off easy with a lap. after practice, luma had concerns: kanus outburst had been troubling, and she wasnt happy that mandela was lashing out at his new teammates when they made mistakes. but the fifteens effort had been impressive. they hadnt quit when they fell behind. they wanted to win. - outcasts united, based on lumas thoughts, which statement best describes the theme in this passage? hard work is more important than winning. bad behavior should never be tolerated. a red card is the worst soccer violation.
