All Activity

Another brilliant analogy: multiple complaints = multiple to the ER. Keep them coming.

Says who?

I think your probably a bball guy and bear crawls in general are more of a football thing anyway. The guy you quoted was suggesting the field next to the track which is turf.

Turf does not get hotter than asphalt

Well I never heard of it and I ve been around the block…..maybe it’s a woodville thing. not sure if your referencing others but I never once said anything about turf. I was at la Porte in mid 2000s when we got turf and yeah it felt like my soles on my shoes were melting off.

It's not the most popular thing but it's not completely unheard of. My point is a track is not a good idea but turf is not much better. So pointing out a lack of common sense while suggesting turf doesn't make sense to me

In all my years of playing and coaching I ve never seen or been part of a program that had athletes do bear craws on a track.

I played sports in high school and college then I coached for 15 years. I ve been part of many strength and conditioning programs…I used common sense all those years and still do. dont know the guy. don’t have any feeling either way on him, but come on we all know what it feels like when human flesh touches something hot….like running across concrete or asphalt barefooted. We have all learned that at a young age. no not super critical just using common sense. it is what it is….he made a poor decision due to not using common sense. U can make it out to what u want. I’m not here to talk about the guys character or anything or talk bad about him.

What exactly is the tik tok challenge is the big question,it may be the fact of doing bear crawls ON A HOT TRACK

Bro I really don't feel like even entertaining you because your motives aren't genuine at all but to answer your question there was only one girl complaining at Caldwell because there was only one girl participating in the exercise. Meanwhile there were 10 complaints about a bear crawl incident in Crandall a couple years back.

I 100% disagree with that last sentence.

Was it several girls at Caldwell (like WV)? Also, whether the turf is hotter or the same is irrelevant. Enjoy your irrelevant analogies. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

Athletes don't always complain about these type of injuries. That type of behavior is just not encouraged in athletic circles. You know that. Mothers don't always take their children to the ER for burns/blisters and if they go to the ER they're not always referred to the burn unit. Scenarios just don't always play out like this but if they did lots of coaches would constantly be in trouble. There was a 7th grade girl who publicly complained of 2nd degree burns she got from bear crawls on a turf field last April in Caldwel though. And turf gets hotter than grass or asphault regardless of what type of filler is used by the way

I think it’s important to remember—as much as I may wonder about some aspects—if something doesn’t pass, everyone gets a major tax increase. Especially the middle to lower classes. Add layoffs on top of that because of tax increases and it’s gonna be bigly ugly. Medicaid coverage will be secondary because people won’t have money to get to the doctor anyway. Dems ran on letting the tax cuts we have now expire, raising taxes on top of that, and not doing anything to make the government more efficient. Then, they have the audacity to gripe about misuse of Medicaid? Rich…

Late to the party, but amen to all comments above.

With 100% certainty? No. But I do know many teams do bear crawls on their turf fields and I have never heard of any athlete complaining about getting burns or blisters from the turf. The likelihood of someone getting burns or blisters from bear crawls on a track are much much higher than doing that on any turf field. I think most folks would understand that difference. But I see that if one person got burns or blisters from bear crawls on turf while 100's got it while on a track, you would see it as the same. The point being, if that activity had to be a choice, then it would have been much more sensible to do that activity on the field and not the track. If you cannot see that, then I can't help you.

Do you know if the turf hasn't caused burns/blisters in the past?

Not nearly as hot as a track will get. Also, that turf at Woodville is the wood chip filler type. It stays much cooler than the rubber pellet filler turf fields. That turf would not have caused those type injuries.

It's easy for us to be super critical of the guy's mistake from the outside looking in but these suggestions make it clear some of us might not have done much better. The track definitely wasn't a good idea but the turf might not have been much better. Yall know how hot turf gets?

I have not either - I'm taking the words of the writers of the bill versus the opposition. I may read it once it is final - 1000 pages is a pretty good investment in time lol

Honestly, I haven’t read it all yet because I’ve gotten to the point where I wait until its final. This Bill is going to have massive changes before/if it gets through.

Exactly. Where is common sense?

Holier than Thou much???

I think what you are missing is if Doctors, illegals and people who fraud the system are addressed, there would be no need for the same budget. The bill does not decrease funding for everyone..... Lastly, you are criticizing this bill based on Media coverage - my guess the same media that told you he was running circles around 20 year old's......or that Trump was a Russian asset..... I posted the entire bill - which my guess, like Obamacare, no one has read......
