You know what is kind of sad and funny at the same time. As people don't respond to @EOTL he starts fishing and trying to get anyone to respond to him. It is becoming more evident that @EOTL finds some sort of self value and worth by posting on this website. You can tell he starts getting desperate when nobody responds and he will start coming up with all kind of random stuff to try and get someone to bite. Sad someone has to post here to find value in what they believe, but then again, if you don't have a significant other or a child, and you are locked up all day, what else are you going to do. So strange

Current case rate per 100,000 for SoCal counties (per NY Times...this might not be official but is very close to what the couple counties that I checked reported on their health department website)

Ventura 48
Los Angeles 39
Santa Barbara 38
Riverside 38
San Diego 34
Orange 27
San Bernardino 26
Imperial 24
Santa Clara 22 (for Dad4)

We need to be at 4 for Orange tier soccer. So we're all 6-12x higher than we need to be. Are rates dropping yes; however, its seems the rate of the drop is flattening. I hate to be Mr. Buzzkill, but unless Newsom changes tiers we ain't playing for a while in California.

The numbers they use are the adjusted case rates so Counties that test more get credit for that. The actual numbers are lower for some of the counties. This is from numbers released by state on BluePrint for Safer Economy website that gets updated Tuesdays:
Ventura 48 41
Los Angeles 39 31
Santa Barbara 38 36
Riverside 38 44
San Diego 34 34
Orange 27 29
San Bernardino 26 32
Imperial 24 22
Santa Clara 22 (for Dad4) 15.9

Just found the case numbers from 4 weeks ago 1/12/21. They are trending downward. I am really hoping to try and stay positive so by spring there can be sports in CA.
So blue four week ago / red as of yesterday (numbers are updated every Tuesday on state website and are ADJUSTED numbers that give some counties more credit for testing more people.
Ventura 72 / 41
Los Angeles 77/ 31
Santa Barbara 64/ 36
Riverside 107/ 44
San Diego 69/34
Orange 78/ 29
San Bernardino 102/ 32
Imperial 70/22
Santa Clara (for Dad4) 40/ 15.9

What I find most frustrating is that the metrics keep changing. First Newsom said in July schools couldn't open if numbers were below a certain amount then decided in September to change the metric and it got converted to a color tier. Schools couldn't open in purple (cases had to below 7). Then allowed K-6 schools to get waivers if cases were no more than double so 14. Now he says schools K-6 can be open if under 25 without a waiver. WTF? Then using that criteria most schools could have been open August through December across most of the state.

So if it is ok to open K-6 schools at case rate of 25 when it used to be 7, shouldn't he follow the same guidelines for sports? Let k-6 kids play now then hopefully open it it up to high schoolers too. Or use use the same multiplier of around 3.55 so soccer should open when it the case rate is 14!

Please stop responding to it. It will never change, it is just looking to get a rise out of posters to drive up “action” on the site.

We ALL know what it is so the sooner we all just stop gratifying the Misogynistic douche bag the better off we will all be.

Myself included.....

I used to play poker at Ocean's 11. When we had slow play or chasers chasing luck, they would bring it in as a secret house player to get "action" at the table. These guys would bet some dollars and knock out the slow players.

I may be the odd person out but IMO there is nothing better than watching my little guy's entire little league complex, (it's a cluster of 4/5 fields,) stop mid-game on a Friday night when the anthem starts playing. They all know to remove their hats and look to the flag. Why isn't that acceptable?

Because certain people that failed in life always need someone, or some thing, to blame besides themselves.

My little league team played for the city championship. We had a girl sing the anthem, we took hats off and then we all heard, "play ball" and oh boy did we ever. My mom was the cook at the snack shop. My team won it all baby. Rotary was our team name. Back then you were allowed to only pitch 3 innings game. So our two studs held their own but the game was all tied after 6. So coach looked to me, ya Crush was called on to pitch extra innings. I never pitched all year but I was needed. I came in with my knuckleball and fastball and got them out 1, 2 and 3. The other guy who never pitched before either ((Matt)) walked in the winning run and we won!!!

Is there anything better than hearing the National Anthem sung well live? I know that it was considered by some disrespectful at the time, but I thought Jimi Hendrix's rendition was very poignant especially considering the times.

Fortunately, those that see the flag as a negative symbol are a very, very small minority, they're just given an oversized megaphone. If you want to kneel for the flag, so be it. I'm not losing any sleep over it.

Blew us away first time we heard Jimi's version not sure anyone has topped it since but some interesting guitar versions by other artists as well.


The raw emotions of the lyrics by some of the singers is pretty special also.

Do you realize you are saying the same thing?

The only difference is, when he says schools cannot open until restrictions can be put into place like wearing masks, social distancing and ventilating rooms, right-identifying people claim it's an endless lockdown.

And when right-identifying people says schools can reopen with restrictions like wearing masks, social distancing and ventilating rooms, it's common sense and perfectly reasonable.

The problems are that (1) some schools are clearly having a problem implementing restrictions like wearing masks, social distancing and ventilating rooms -- in my school district, it's due to limited resources and severe overcrowding, and (2) the right-identifying people's use of the term "lockdown" is muddying what would otherwise be a unified effort to equip schools and teachers with the reasonable restrictions they need to safely reopen.

We are 12 months in to a pandemic and they still can't figure out how to implement the safeguards so that schools can reopen?! Are you kidding me? You use every available space on your campus including gyms and outdoor spaces to spread out the students. Heck, my kid has math class in the gym! If you still can't socially distant enough, use a hybrid system with two days on and two days at home with the third day a flex day. There is a TON of CARES money that has been allocated for PPE and cleaning supplies.

Rumor has it March 6 will be the opening of high school sports and youth club sports will follow right after.

I'm so tired of hearing "we need to make sure we make schools safe before reopening?". WTF have you been doing for the last year particularly since there has been overwhelming evidence for months that schools are safe?

Up in Norcal, Norcal Premier posted an update today. Looks like they are preparing for the only realistic option which is playing within the same county. Still mentions needing to meet CA guidelines which is currently being in the orange tier.
Yes San Francisco will be more limited but even then I can think of at least 5 clubs in San Francisco off the top of my head.
 
I feel the dam bursting in California and youth sports will be back after a 12 month break. I feel like the last 12 months took one month in real time. Play ball!!!!
 
I might talk a lot today everyone. Just a heads up if I cause some of you heart burn when I go on and on. I love sports so much. It's what life should be about. Fun & games, what is not fun about that life style? We all need to play and have fun and work hard at the same time. I'm willing to give life another try if we all agree not to cheat to get to the front or pay to get your spot on the team. I'm so down with losing under these new rules of life. I just want fairness and justice for all :)
