Masks!!

We have been sent a message from our AD that TSSAA is closely monitoring the mask at games situation.  People everywhere are sending in photos of mostly students but adults also not wearing masks at all Fall Sports, mainly football.   Regardless of positive case numbers, if they think that it is not going to be safe they will shut it down.  I am in no way "pro-mask", but I would like to continue to have high school sports.

I'd be very surprised if they shut anything down unless they can figure out a way to get paid without playing football games. We are talking about the association with 9 classes of football and 2-8 teams going to the playoffs here. 

Regardless of that. Rules are rules. If I go into a stadium I will comply with them.

I always wear a mask where it is required, out of respect for more paranoid people.    The "experts" telling us to wear a mask are the same guys who tell us that coffee causes health problems, but oh wait, the next month coffee is the greatest thing since sliced bread... etc.

However, in order to keep football going, its not that much of an inconvenience for all of us to mask up...

Follow the rules so the kids can play. My two hours in a mask grants these ball players memories for a lifetime. 

Sadly, I felt like I was one of only 20 in the whole stadium at Sequatchie wearing one the other day. Sometimes, you listen to authority.

TSSAA voted to have the schools "police" this with nothing but a page full of rules.  In these unprecedented times, maybe they should step up and offer more help to each school for enforcement.  Now, what that help might entail I do not know, but it seems to me they set the schools up for failure if they will be investigating every picture they see posted on social media of a student section with kids with no masks.  What did they expect?  Furthermore, the country is so divided on the issue people who disagree with kids playing sports or going back to school are just going to look for this stuff to send to the media.  In addition I had a spring sport parent tell me it was not fair fall sports got to play and she hoped they got shut down because he Senior did not get a soccer season.  So you have those folks looking for no mask pictures too.  I personally felt like my kids safety and that of my family was not in any more danger of being exposed to COVID at the game on Friday night as we are if we were to go into Walmart.  It is just my opinion.

I'm right there with you. At our Covington game, I estimated that only 10% wore masks in the stands. And some who wore them had their nose out from under the mask.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
