What’s appealing to these players are these teams’ awesome OOS schedules, which they could never get where they came from. Playing teams like IMG, SJP, SFA, Milton, DeMatha, BA, SJC, ED, etc is a huge selling point. #PGL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is the 40+ years difference in our ages and experience levels but in the scheme of things, no, a football season was not the biggest risk nor was it the most important thing for anyone, kids included. Learning to deal with adversity is something too many kids seem not to have to deal with. There will be much bigger things in their lives as time goes on.

Columbiafan Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 There is no way to socially distance while playing and having the largest roster means more chances of someone getting exposed in daily life and infecting the entire team If football could have played then I won't be convinced that they couldn't have done the same thing in the spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So because you deem that kids haven't had to deal with adversity it is all great to go ahead and screw them over? Your right there is an difference in age and part of that was the fact I was in high school when the seniors last year were freshman, it's easy to say they haven't faced adversity but with all due respect how would you know that when you don't personally know those kids, everyone faces adversity in their daily life and it comes in different forms and again I'm not minimizing the effect the virus had outside of sports What I'm saying is I felt that had this country done a better job preparing and reacting then those seniors wouldn't have needed to get screwed over and if they were willing to give the same flexibility they gave to football then maybe we could have done it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at the macro level while you are looking at the micro level. No where did I say it was great to screw them over. To assume that the implications to sports is indicative of the the implications to the overall student population belies the number of students participating in sports vs the total student population. While a non trivial number participate in sports, that number in no way represents the much, much larger number of students (7.3% of football playing high school students play at the college scholarship level). Just because we on this board focus on sports in particular high school football doesn't mean that applies across the larger population. It is super easy to say if only we had done this better, things would have been better. I'm not too sure what we could have done so much better that it would not have had an impact on people in general and students in specific. I've read that last paragraph 3 or 4 times and can't figure out what you are saying. What seniors didn't get the same flexibility that football did? Weren't we talking about football?

Ohh I thought they might have changed a rule, I was gonna say , if u can reclassify and stay at same school, I’d think every athlete that didn’t get the scholarship from the school they wanted would reclassify 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
