sportsguy22 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Stewarts Creek gets hit with these horrible protocols at the worst possible time...and may miss the playoffs! Unbelievable insanity continues!!! The emotional toll this craziness will take on our students will be felt for years to come. Extremely sad.

RocketHouse Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Ridiculous. Any team with title aspirations should have all players in virtual school. Cheerleaders, band, and managers should all be kept away. It's not too crazy to only practice and play with players likely to play. Anyone not likely to contribute should be removed from team activities. Totally ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds completely logical In this strange and absolutely nonsensical year with nutty protocols, they may have to opt for this unfortunately. Kids are already getting crushed emotionally with these decisions by genius leaders. In this crazy situation, all options must be on the table. Sad but true.

Sounds completely logical That may have sounded good while you were typing but what exactly is completely logical about contact tracing. Completely healthy kids are being told you can't participate with your teammates because of where a school official thinks they were sitting in the cafeteria and if it happens from this point forward your team's season is over. Our starting running back has been quarantined twice this year 14 days x 2 for contact tracing. He's perfectly healthy and has missed half of the season. His best friend was the player with the serious neck injury from our school and he was going to wear his jersey during Micah Strong night at our first home game since the injury last Friday. Guess what, he was told Thursday after practice that he was contact traced and couldn't step foot on campus. He also couldn't participate in the Spaghetti supper benefit his class was in charge of Saturday. The kid has been devastated twice this year. How logical does that sound? How logical does this sound? Right now a 9th grade 4th string cornerback can go to every haunted house in Nashville this weekend and get Covid next week and his team is done? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys wanted football, this is the price you pay to get it. You do everything as a team. It's not always fair, but life never is. If I was a coach, id rather not play at all than to ask a senior who has busted his tail for 4 years to opt out. Not even to mention the legal ramifications when a player or parent brings a lawsuit forward because they think they were targeted because of the color of their skin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsguy22 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Yep, logic is completely out the window at this point! You have health department officials watching video of cafeterias and school buses to make random decisions on who might’ve been exposed. Completely healthy kids who never show symptoms and this a virus that doesn’t negatively affect kids really at all. It’s all a subjective, nonsensical approach just because they are smarter than everyone, know what’s best, and want to prove they are “making things safer”. It’s insanity in every way! Just think about the flu going forward...much, much tougher on kids! We have quarantines and shutdowns and contact tracing to look forward to forever...or maybe not once the election is over??!! Pure political and absolute nonsense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you poll the thousands of kids getting to play in TN and see how they feel about it. While you're at it ask the senior basketball players who didn't get to play their tournament last spring how they feel. Senior baseball and softball players missing the entire season may have an opinion too. 11 minutes ago, MidTennFootball said: You do everything as a team. It's not always fair, but life never is.

ecu Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 If kids are healthy they should play! Contact tracing is just a means to control people. Sick of all this stupidity. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
