Is HS Football in Jeopardy

Man, I do hate to post this, but is this increase in crime in our society threatening HS football?  Had a potential mass shooting situation at Everman HS in the Dallas area.  It was thwarted by a tip, and the alleged potential shooters were stopped just before they got to the stadium.

Then at a game in Maryland, the two teams got into a serious fight part way through the 3rd Qtr.  As you’d expect, it flowed into the stands as well.  The two teams football playing has been placed on hold as of now.

This is the hidden content, please

I sure hope actions like this don’t become the norm.  As a society we need to get our act together.

Things like this have been happening forever. Access to news 24/7 makes it seem like the world is ending.

But more affect on those student-athletes that participate. Sports can save many young men who otherwise wouldn't have that positive support group.

As a public school administrator, over the last few years, there have been a substantial increase in student infractions in all areas of discipline, in my opinion. Society, as a whole, is part of the problem. My hope and prayer is that our student athletes will stay focused and continue to be leaders on campuses. Unfortunately, we still have to deal with all the variables that have an effect on school sports.

That name alone should have you banned.

Whoosh. Completely flew over your head.   

You don't even know what it means. Its technical based. I would explain it to you but... (deleted)

BTW it does not change the fact the country IS falling apart. Just look at the news. Here is one example:

It's been that way since the git-go; always been that way.  (But I think this mob mentality is getting worse, and more widespread.) 

I remember a co-worker that moved to SETX from the Newark New Jersey / Staten Island New York area back in the early '80s, and he was amazed that the HS football games here were at night. Their games up there were on weekday afternoons, or maybe Saturday morning. He really didn't give a direct answer when I asked why, but the inference was that it cut down on the violence and crime. These days I wonder if it makes any difference.

High school football games have been shot up in mass shootings forever?

I kind of feel like even in the “old days” when we had three television channels, and they went off air at midnight, if several people would be shot at a high school football game, we would have heard about it.

In a way I think they have already become the norm.

As WOSdrummer99 said, it is a classic battle between good and evil. The main problem today is that the evil has been made main stream.  Now it seems fashionable to side with evil for political reasons.

This isn’t about HS football though and it just happened to be the venue for this incident.

Society is the problem. I have posted many times in several forums, when you lock down the schools, a person intent on evil will simply change his target or find another way to hit the same target.

WOS drummer.  May I ask where you got that definition?  It appears to be something the "thought police" at Merriam-Webster thought up. 

I think of the Church of England first.  Not racism or cultural division. It's conditioning.

Hell, we have people trying to ban the term master bedroom.  We have become a society of sticks and stones in the streets get no bail needed, but words well....they are evil and people should be canceled.

The context led some to believe it had a racial slant.

There's only a few words that should be banned. George Carlin only said the good ones. No way he wanted to be canceled.

Wait, how did yall get me in the political forum?

I agree.....while I hate to make this political (as I make this political...), when the current administration basically calls concerned parents showing up at school board meetings domestic terrorist.....it basically takes parenting out of the schools.....

Those "concerned parents" want to keep MLK, Maya Angelou and other Black authors and historical figures from being taught or having their books in libraries.

Those "concerned parents" want to bring their racist nonsense into the schools.

Are these the same concerned parents wanting the Civil War and its key figures not being taught in school?

No, but they are the same parents who worship and glorify them. 

Do you know them personally?

what we do know is exactly what @thetragichippymentioned. Parents have been labeled as domestic terrorist, because their OWN KIDS are being taught from  inappropriate books.  I haven’t heard one word about people wanting MLK removed.

only person I worship is God Almighty I could really careless about history figures from civil war….we can learn from history, but the actual people I could careless about.

You are beyond wrong and you know it.  You are making a false claim.  As someone that has taught history, not once has anyone called for these individuals not to be discissed and admired.  You are stating a flat out lie and you know it.  

Create division and vilify is all both statements you have made are designed to do.

Some want history, good or bad, to be a one way street.  Seems you are one of those.

I know your profile picture alone tells me that you're a bad person. You stand for hating minorities, hating gay people and worshipping a reality TV star who has committed so many horrific crimes that theres too many to name.

      Ohio AG defends letter warning 'woke' masked anti-Israel protesters they face prison time: 'We have a society'

      By LumRaiderFan · Posted

      This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up   I wish the Ohio AG much success...from the article: Ohio’s Republican Attorney General is pushing back against critics after warning that anti-Israel protesters wearing masks are facing potential prison time due to a little known state law. "The First Amendment protects you and saying whatever it is you have to say. Even hateful things are protected by the First Amendment," Ohio AG Dave Yost told Fox News Digital this week. "The First Amendment, though, was always designed to be a shield against the government. It's not a sword against your fellow students and they have rights too. Your First Amendment rights are limited by their right to be able to go to school, use the library, get the value of their education and the tuition that they paid for." In a letter sent on Monday, Yost warned university presidents of a historic state law that could mean masked anti-Israel demonstrators on college campuses could face felony charges.  "The law is an old law," Yost told Fox News Digital. "It goes back to the 20th century, and it was originally designed to make sure that people like Ku Klux Klan were held accountable, that, of course, the reason that the Ku Klux Klan wore hoods and masks over their faces is so that they couldn't be identified because they were committing crimes. So the General Assembly in Ohio said, okay, you can wear a mask, you can wear a hood, that's fine. But if you commit a crime with two or more other people, while you are masking yourself, we're going to see that as a heightened kind of crime, a worse kind of thing, because you're consciously doing this and trying to hide your identity because you know you're doing something wrong."

      More voting fraud! Guess who?

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      You keep pointing at the fact that Biden got so many votes as proof of cheating, when it’s actually proof of something else… Trump motivates people to get off of the couch, register, and vote for ANYBODY BUT TRUMP.  And instead of looking in the mirror and recognizing that the problem is you (the person who nominates a candidate that most people HATE) you blame the people who vote against him.    Haley pulled down 22% of the votes in the most recent Republican  primary. Those votes were cast AFTER she’d already dropped out of the race.    Trump is going to lose the fourth consecutive election cycle since he beat the even more unlikable Hillary in  2016. The Dems learned from their mistake (nominating a despised candidate in ‘16). The Rs keep nominating the same guy that most people hate and expecting different results.    Dems roll in November.

      End of an Era: Boy Scouts of America Officially Changes Name to Embrace Inclusivity After 114 Years!

      By LumRaiderFan · Posted

      Not yet, anyway. If you can't see that there has been a strong effort to create gender dysphoria amongst young folks AND try to keep it from parents in many instances, you're not paying attention. You may not care about this, but it's ridiculous to ridicule those that do. There is an agenda behind this, no doubt about it, like bullets pointed out earlier, it's just a name change...for now. And it was only very recently that girls were allowed to join the "boy scouts", they have been allowed to join certain other groups that weren't available to girls at the time. It's the frog in the slow boil.
