Unfortunately Crush, we all did and it sucks big time, but at this point we have to let it go (money we paid) because we aren't getting it back and if we dwell on it, it will piss us off even more....
No games until 2021

You call me trouble maker because I always post facts, thus upsetting your comforting myths.
Fixed that for you.
I'm not pissed at all I promise. I kind of feel like when they cancel a soccer game because of the fields could get damage because of the light showers and potential of more rain. "You can;t hurt the fields." Same old thing. I did invest in $3K so I get to speak all I want on this subject. I bet we get some league games before the first of the year.
Social distancing requires a concerted effort. It does not mean social distancing except when I don’t want to. For every idiot soccer parent who thinks the risk that someone will die because of their specific interaction is low, there are tens of thousands of other idiots who think the risk is low if they go to the park, the restaurant, the bar, work, music class, the museum, school, bbq at their friends’ house, etc. And you know what, they’re all right. But they’re still all idiots because more social interactions means more dead people.
Effective social distancing cannot be a la carte. Yes, there are activities that must continue at the expense of some lives. Youth soccer is not one of them in my opinion, or that of the governor of the one state that has managed to save the most lives through social distancing requirements. If you think it is, that’s your opinion. And if that’s your opinion, how many people need to die before you decide that you were wrong?
BTW, the Crush is ready to Box. This is the only remedy for my soul. I knew this minister brother back in the day and he was like Mr California runner up for body lifting. He thought he was so tuff and had an answer for everything. One day we had a big carnival to invite folks like EOTL to hear the message of the good news. Anyway, this tuff guy minister for Jesus kept egging me on and finally I had had enough and I went Tyson on him in front of his wife and kids. He acted like he was the chosen speaker for God and I kept a lot of that pinned up for years. It was so awesome and his wife actually rebuked me kicking her husbands butt. This guy had no coordination at all and his big ass muscles made it worse for him. I was quick as lightning and went jab jab jab and then swung for the fence and knocked him on the ground.

I did.
Here is the chart where the 70% # comes from FYI.
And here is the paragraph talking about that percentage.
In his defense, he has the myopic and emotional appeal angle nailed backed by a wicked ad hominem game.
You would t know a fact if it bit you in your ass!

Especially in light of how often the predictions have been wrong and how as the data comes out we see the vast majority of people have virtually no risk.
We know who is at risk and they are the ones who should be targeted.
What data is irrefutable? Where is your “data” to support your proposition that “I feel pretty confident it has nothing to do with restricting youth sports...”?
The problem with this line of thinking is that it tries to parse out youth soccer when social distancing cannot be a la carte. At the same time you are posting this, there’s some idiot posting the exact same words in his bbq forum, except substituting “grilling some ribs” with “youth soccer.” And someone at an AA forum substituting “in person recovery meeting”. And his former bartender posting the same except “mixing margaritas” instead of “youth soccer”. There are millions of people complaining that the thing that is important to them is the thing for which an exception should be made. Youth soccer is apparently a big deal for you, but objectively it is a ridiculously stupid and inconsequential activity under current circumstances.
Well if I've learned anything from this forum it's that people come on here to vent, so go for it!! I agree as I'm sure everyone else who paid it sucks. Try not to let it get the best of you, Crush seemed to be pretty zen and chill. I hope we can at least start in January.
Here is a question for anyone who wants to guess... lets say league does start in Jan. when in the hell will it end???
Almost like I wrote the script. He was right on que!

Actually The Atlantic was reporting that despite the fear of many, younger people are not big spreaders of covid.
Schools Aren’t Super-Spreaders
Fears from the summer appear to have been overblown.

I like this approach. Let's at least take a small step forward, asses the results, and go from there. At this point that is more than reasonable.
The predictions about hundreds of thousands was very accurate. What was your prediction about how many people would die? How many more dead people is an acceptable risk so you can live vicariously through your kid?
Boxing is a good way to release pin up pain from all these years. I'm going back to chill and zen soon. Just got triggered a little this morning.
Let's not bring up ad hominem's. Please.

Yes. Save the ad hominems for the racist bottom feeding douchebags who troll the deep recesses of these waters.
