At a junior hockey game in Sioux Falls, S.D., on Saturday night, $5,000 in one-dollar bills was dumped onto a carpet in the middle of the ice as 10 local teachers readied themselves to shovel up as much of it as they could.
When the competition began, the teachers — all wearing hockey helmets — crawled into the pile of cash, frantically stuffing the bills into their shirts as an arena of spectators hollered and cheered until every dollar was snatched up.
A clip of the event went viral over the weekend and had amassed more than 7.7 million views on Twitter as of early Monday. Critics said the image of teachers on their hands and knees, scrambling for low-denomination bills, was “dehumanizing” and even “dystopian,” especially as teachers are paid relatively small salaries in South Dakota and nationwide. Some compared the spectacle to the popular Netflix series “Squid Game,” in which the show’s characters compete in deadly games to win a giant piggy bank full of cash.

In an interview with The Washington Post, state Sen. Reynold Nesiba (D), who represents a portion of Sioux Falls, said that while the competition was probably well-intentioned, it ended up being “a terrible image.”
“Teachers should never have to go through something like this to be able to get the resources they need to meet the basic educational needs of our students — whether it’s here in Sioux Falls or anywhere in the United States,” he said.
In the end, Barry Longden, a teacher at a local high school, snatched the most cash — $616, the Argus Leader reported. He said he will put his winnings toward an esports program he runs for students. Alexandria Kuyper, a fifth-grade teacher, managed to grab $592. She said she will use the money on treats and decorations for her classroom. Other teachers said they’d use their winnings on flexible seating, standing desks and document cameras to upload lessons online, the paper reported.
