I think your looking for “snowflake” or some other name. “Karen” just doesn’t fit. That’s a derogatory term for a white woman. 

Whatever works! Karens run their mouth, whine, tattletale and spread negativity and pessimism...end of the world mentality! Seemed to fit fine :)

I’m all for rational posts but I’m not reading rational posts or people trying to gather information. I’m reading hysterical there’s no way we can play posts. We need to shut Sports down like VA or CA. We’re going to kill kids by playing football this fall.  We have to test every player/coach. The same whiners clamoring for another lockdown or mandatory mask ordinances.

Salem, we wouldn't be in the situation we're currently in if everyone was genuinely behaving appropriately. But not everyone is like 22. Admittedly, he and I are on opposite ends of the mask mandate spectrum. But if each one of us actually did what he has described, we wouldn't even need a mask mandate.

And yet here we are.

Just not letting kids with issues play does not protect them. Are you all saying to keep everyone with issues out of school locked up ? The biggest issue would be kids spreading it to everyone they come in contact with. 

Go to the homepage and click on the article about the overall mental health of school age kids, and the rates (percentages) of depression within their ranks in the few months since school has been suspended... broaden your mind a little if you are as open minded as you'd like everyone to believe that you are. I don't fully understand your second sentence, but I'll counter with this anyway... are you saying that we should take away all those without issues freedom's because of a few that have them, when those few have the freedom of choice not to be involved? The biggest issue is that people are insisting that everyone's freedoms to be infringed upon to placate those who don't want to choose. 

  I can almost equate this situation to someone with a peanut allergy insisting that Jif stop selling peanut butter (no offense to those with allergies), when they can simply not buy the peanut butter.

I guess all the teams with overweight linemen is at risk. They will need to stay home because being overweight is real bad for covid.

I really think people are overlooking big time how much school and sports takes away depression and gets them out of bad home lives. It is amazing and sad to me the adults that really act like they are looking out for the kids best interest fighting for them to not have sports and school. They really could give a rats a^^ about the kids and only have their own agenda in mine.

Just saw on the news where Campbell County had someone on the team test positive and their suspending any football activities for two weeks. I see this just going on and on and on all year long right into next year also. When you have that many people involved in something like football it's bound to happen. This has to be the biggest nightmare for the coaches and families putting all this hard work in living day to day waiting for one of our fearless leaders to pull the plug.

They are schools all over TN with football players testing positive and having to quarantine for two weeks. This is no contact drills. Just think if they open practice up. Crazy like I been saying they need to cancel or move to the spring and hope they get a vaccine for the ones that want to take it.

They have a microscope under this virus. If they had a microscope on every viral infection that has went through our country, it would be something new every year. I am not going to live my life in fear over a virus that for the most part don’t even cause symptoms especially for teenagers. All this is good for our nation. Man you can’t hide forever and be fearful. Herd immunity will set in soon like it did in New York. It will run its course. I also believe another thing that a lot of the country has immunity to this virus.

It’s just about the government mandating masks. It’s overreaching. They should highly recommend it and allow private businesses to mandate it if they choose. That’s America. What’s to stop the government mandating that you must show proof of having taken the vaccine (if it develops) to enter places?! When does that government control end? It could get crazy.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
