I’m thinking the sky over the fields would be full of drones.

On a realistic note, I think we’ll be close to normal by the end of August.  I’ve been wrong before (thought aliens would land on the White House lawn in Feb 2000), but I just don’t think we, Americans, can stand this a whole lot longer, unless the deaths get a whole lot worse than now.  I don’t mean to sound callous, but our deaths are less than 0.02% of our population.   Jmo

If no fans in the stands happens ( I hope it doesn’t) then well over half the the schools in Houston ISD wouldn’t be affected.   Most don’t bring any fans anyway.

What is the purpose of making rude a$% comments like that? Its not the kids fault the parents don't and haven't supported their kids. People like you should step in the lives of one of these young men for a week and then come back and say something sarcastic! You are probably spoon fed growing up.

Easy, there.... I didn’t take his statement as particularly rude or aimed at the h-town kids. 
 

The fact is that a lot of the Houston schools don’t have community support. Sorry if the truth offends you.

First of all,  comment wasn’t rude.  Not sure how you got rude out of that post.

Second, Who are you to judge me?   People like me....you don’t know me.  People like you need to not judge people based on assumptions.

Have a great day!!!  Off to get my spoon fed meal.

Whats odd to me is that everyone is not stating the obvious which is video streaming the games.  You are going to have to buy a subscription and have a great internet connection to watch your favorite teams.  I can see the season ticket holders being sent a password before the game to be able to watch.  Just a vision of what may happen.  Believe me I don't want this at all, but i can see all school activities being done this way.

It's possible but I was wondering maybe only the immediate family of the players may be allowed to attend up to 4 people per athlete  due to there will be enough room to social distance from one another and it will give the support to the team there rooting for and if 1 family member doesnt attend you may be able to bring a guess in his or her place. Facebook live will become more popular than ever then.... Just a thought....Carry On...

Imo, it all boils down to schools opening.  If the schools open, there will be football.  Ah, some of you are thinking, we can’t have contact sports.  That’s 🐂💩.   There’s more contact in school halls when the bell rings than you’ll ever see on a football field.   And anyone making the decision now of whether the schools will be opening or not in August, is crazy.   That decision should be made in late July, and probably will be.   

Many experts said that heat & humidity would kill, or at least, wound the Virus.  Heaven knows SETX has plenty of that.

I agree. It’s stupid to say that the safest group with almost zero deaths can’t play football, etc. I don’t think it’s too soon to make the decision if schools will be open. They should be open. If anyone thinks they shouldn’t be open, please explain.

If either of these highlighted suggestions are the only “viable options”, I will be going to jail the first Friday night of high school football. Mark my effing words.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      By 2wedge · Posted

      This is an easy one. We have let grifter unqualified coaches infiltrate our children and convince them that they will be D1 athletes if they only focus on a single sport. We've got kids, with single digit ages, playing their sport year-round to "maximize exposure" despite the fact that most college coaches on the recruiting trail will value a multisport athlete. This translates to the school year and ends up with kids being football, basketball, baseball only kids. Track is pretty much the only one left that keeps kids playing other sports and that's primarily because football coaches demand their football kids be track athletes. I literally talked to a man last night, who just moved to Texas from Oklahoma who was telling me his kid played on two different football teams during the season last year. One for his school, one for his select league. During the week the kid was a RB for his school, and on the weekends, he was a QB for his select team. This would equal 7 days a week of full contact football for a 6th grader......6th grader. Once that ends, rolls straight into 7 on 7 for the spring and back to football in the summer. All this for a kid, who seems to be a good athlete, but probably has a ceiling of D2 at best, if he doesn't burn out before that. Parents are silly and think they can develop their kids into being the next Quinn Ewers, but they completely miss the biggest factor in creating that type of athlete.....genetics. Genetics are undefeated. Always have been, always will be. Play sports because you love to compete then compete in everything you do. Quit giving bullsheet rings to "state champions" every single weekend all over the US and get back to valuing team championships won at the community level to build the continuity when they are young. This is the only way to reestablish the pride once felt by every kid in every town across Texas when they got to put on a uniform with their school colors. Otherwise, we can kiss the magic of high school sports goodbye.

      I hear you but I don't think this is going to ding her political career as much as some think, especially in SD.

      It doesn't bother me a bit. It was just unnecessary and foolish to not consider the repercussions. No doubt it also reflects on where we are as a country. That's why she needs to be better at "reading the room".  Save the story for your "after political career" biography.
