Let's see...

The kids are not pros making millions, or college students on scholarship.

I'm guessing that a lot of parents are going to "opt out"...

even in texas where football matters way more from a financial standpoint, some districts already canceled their seasons

Poor leadership? Yall have to stop listening to the fear **** driven media. Total number of cases isn’t the barometer they want it to be. Testing is up which means cases are up. Death rates are dropping and for kids under 25 it’s virtually no threat. We are doing more harm than good to kids and families by keeping them out of school.

Want to know what’s worse than a bunch of young kids getting a borderline cold? Having kids on the street for 6 months instead of at practice, in weight room, etc.

it isnt solely about the kids. its about the parents, administrators, teachers, etc. that may be at risk if this doesnt get under control esp w hospital numbers at where they are in FL.

I know them too and that has nothing to do with what I said. It poses virtually no threat for kids under 25, so why are we holding them hostage? Kids are not super spreaders either.

The American Academy of Pediatrics thinks schools should open in the fall. Funny how everybody screamed “listen to the medical professionals,” until it didn’t fit their narrative anymore.

School Closures Threaten Kids More Than COVID-19, Pediatricians Say

Access to education is foundational to American society and fundamental to the American ideal of providing equal opportunities. Yet amid COVID-19 shutdowns, many children have very limited or even no access to formal education. That has caused numerous problems for some children, including a...

Your point would probably be better taken if you didn't pejoratively refer to COVID-19 as "a borderline cold", which it most definitively is not.

The real danger with opening up schools (at least at the HS level) is less about the kids who attend (99.9% of whom will be fine) and more who those kids may transmit the virus to (including teachers and staff who work there, and their families at home). You just can't 100% open the schools up to full capacity without an increase in transmission. Otherwise, I'm not sure how you convince teachers and staff to show up and teach in tight classrooms with 30+ kids, in HS's with over 3K kids roaming the halls.

But your points about the negative effects of having teenagers out of school is well taken. And I do agree schools should be open, in some capacity - whether that means split shifts, opening up additional classroom space, staggering the school day, implementing a hybrid (distance learning + live instruction) model, or whatever other creative solutions people in education are looking into.

And once those schools are open, you might as well have these kids playing sports. It's an important outlet for a lot of kids. ****, for some kids, the only reason they even go to school and make decent grades is for fear of getting kicked off whatever team they love. Get the infrared thermometers, check temperatures before every practice, pull and quarantine anyone displaying symptoms, implement social distancing during individual drills and film sessions, minimize fans in the stands (if any), and have their parents sign a waiver (or pull the kid from the sport if they want), and go with god. And anyone who thinks the risk is too great and wants to opt out, you obviously let them.

You're right it's a little less than a cold for anyone aged 0-30 that is healthy.

Like I understand CFB and NFL with billions on the line trying to figure out every possible way to play, that’s expected with capitalism and billions on the line. HSFB is absolutely not happening.

This probaly wouldn't be an option but if it was, it would be great for us. Assuming they move football to the spring, how great if some of these 2021 guys could graduate early, and join the team in January?
