TSSAA ED says fate of high school football unknown as of now

[hardtackle]

TSSAA article about fall 2020 football unknown. If they have no idea why are schools and systems allowed or even trying to start back? What is the hurry? If you have seen the guidelines to be followed according to National Federation  guidelines it will be almost impossible to get anything done. I know there are some that think workouts should be happening under normal circumstances. Schools are not even open yet and may not be for awhile. I want sports back as much as anyone. Just hope this does not backfire. Go to NFHS.org and read the 16 pages of guidelines to begin workouts for each sport.

SEC said workouts could resume June 8th. Maybe that means our local HS can start about that time as well

Is it just me or does the T$$AA response sound like a Democrapic 'MAYBE' or 'WHY' ?!?!

Why don't we just play at Home Depot, Lowe's, Kroger, Walmart, Target and Costco. Sure didn't see any of those places getting drug through a briarpatch hanging onto a horse's tail with all this nonsense. I want to see some football this fall, not Boy in a Bubble.

1918... end of the deadliest war in human history (at the time) , and much deadlier pandemic... football was played. A lot of things change in 100 years, for better or worse

Doesn't mean it was the right decision to make considering it affected 1/3 of the world's population. This virus has been held in check ( to a point, through no help from the fed gov't) because lessons were learned from previous pandemics. People need to prepare for the fact that in alot of areas (especially population centers) there will be restrictions on the amount of ppl in attendance, unless we as a society want to risk the chance of a 2nd wave that hits harder than the first

I'll gladly sacrifice a year of football/sports for a chance at slowing the spread of this virus, I would absolutely hate it for the kids if it came to that, but there are things at stake bigger than HS sports

Can someone give a summary of the steps?

Childress and the rest of his cronies are complete idiots.  The problem is that he is protected by a Board Of Control that appear to be just as silly as him.  It's a sad day in the life of Tennessee high school athletics.  It could and should be so much better if you had a forward thinking group of individuals that were in charge of the TSSAA.

You have a .25 % chance of dying if you get it. Under 70 is even smaller.
