Meanwhile, Nashville is saying hospitalizations are up and other counties are going into panic mode.  
 

This is the most ridiculous situation I have ever seen.  Everybody wants to open up yet nobody wants to open up.  

Hospitals all over the nation are making a ton of money off this virus. If you go in and you have insurance you're going to stay for awhile. No insurance and they'll send you home and tell you to stay away from other people for two weeks. A nurse from Florida went undercover with a hidden camera in a hospital in New York City. She has proof they were putting patients on ventilators that didn't even have covid-19. A lot of those people died. Seems the hospitals are getting 30 thousand dollars for every person that goes on a ventilator.

Or have a protest/riot alongside the games...then we are good. 

All you football fans and parents better get your protest signs out. I have lost my girls senior year and state tournament in basketball. Get the posters out. I will join you at the governors doorstep.

Then why does this order not affect college and pro sports?  “They cannot let it get keep getting worse”.   Makes no sense.  

I knew high school sports (at least football anyways) wasn't gonna happen this fall. You can't make students and parents jump through hoops to get their kids back in school but tell them its completely fine for everybody to go to a football game on Friday night. Because athletic events are an extension of the schools.

In a time where kids in certain areas are doing drive-thru graduations or only allowed to have parents at their graduations then high school football was never gonna happen.

In a time where kids are seated 6-feet apart in a classroom and have to wear masks in the hallways then high school football was never gonna happen.

In a time where only one student at a time was gonna be allowed in the bathrooms then high school football was never gonna happen.

There is zero proof that the asymptomatic can transfer this...zero! It was a bad media-driven narrative early on that completely got a lot of the fear and panic going strong. It’s also not been proven that the virus can remain on surfaces more than a minute or so...another misnomer portrayed early on. So much misinformation that has so many people running scared! Will all you naysayers be man enough to take back your negative pessimistic opinions of football season once we are kicking it off? 

Getting close for you having to man up.

That's excellent points. We just had graduation and Senior parents was only allowed to have 4 family members. But we was going to start football on time. No way, let’s hope the jr class will be able to have it next fall.

Doom and Gloom! Some of y’all are bought in hook, line, and sinker. And it’s still June!! Unbelievable. No patience, no positivity, no logic or common sense. I’m assuming all of you are for shutting everything down again?! 

I told you I am not for it. It is just how leaders tend to lead, very cautious and thinking of everyone and every POSSIBILITY.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • “facts” or better yet ‘opinions’ had been up for weeks/months. that’s not why the thread was deleted. get over yourself. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say the have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented? 
    • Crazy how the thread just gets deleted when facts come out.
    • I understand I guess it depends on the school you are with and the time you want to put in.  It’s evident of the schools that don’t put in as much times.  I would say basketball players put in as much time as any sport in our school system and this is coming from a football town.  Bball is a longer season than other sports.
