My player returned from his scrimmage game with a smile and some video of a nice goal so good for those that can find a way.

I haven't been to any of the games in person for a long time but it's always nice to see the videos and him happy and looking forward to the president days tournaments out of state. Long drive for them but they love road trips so play on and enjoy life.

As gross as it is, too many would say you are selfish and willfully harming your fellow citizens - so here we are.

People are lazy. they dont want to drive. It will work.

Air travel has been a pleasure during Covid, particularly on Delta where they have kept the middle seat open. Thank you to everyone that is afraid to fly for making air travel so much more easy and pleasurable for the rest of us.

The people who say stuff like that are just as selfish and willfully harming of others. They just want others to sacrifice for the sake of keeping them safe, particularly if they still have jobs and are working away from home. What's worse it they are taking it out on kids for their own selfish ends.

Well color me gross too. Watched DD play a scrimmage today, nothing formal, just a big group of friends playing. We stood apart on the side lines, and some wore masks. It was actually pretty nice!

Either you misread or I worded it poorly, I'm thinking the latter. I was on the sidelines this weekend, and with referees no less, it was great for all! More to come.

I've gotta add my little girl's soccer story. Friday night, she is freaking out in regards to ECNL tryouts the next day. We calmed her down and told her to treat is an all start tryout and that she still has a spot on her current team. She did very well and more than anything else, I was a very proud dad when she told me after the tryouts that she can do better. She gets home and pulls out the ladder and a soccer ball and started working on her footwork after a very tiring 2 hour ECNL tryout. To see kids go from fear to " I can do better" is such a great lesson in life.

Should be, but isn't. Our contact tracing stinks.

Honestly, why are you worried about pro sports when schools are still closed?

I mentioned it because you said outdoor sports should be open and pro stadiums should be closed. I'm just responding to you and questioning why either should be completely closed at this point. Our public schools continue to be closed for one reason and one reason only.....a powerful teacher's union and a governor that will not stand up to them. Plain and simple.

Closed schools, over time, are a major threat to the long term health of the economy.

Most of the other things are not.

I disagree. Opening schools should be at the very top of the list but so many other businesses have been decimated. All the businesses that continue to be closed (indoor museums, amusements parks, large event venues for weddings or conventions) will definitely effect the economy long term. The hospitability industry is obliterated and is not likely to recover anytime soon. California's poor management during this pandemic will have long term consequences on the state's economy.

You really don’t get the difference?

One has 20,000 people in a giant bowl. The other has maybe 40 people on a field, counting subs.

The first should be closed because it is far more likely to cause infections.

I absolutely see the difference! And I never said there wasn't a difference. I may not be a statistics person but I'm also not tearing tickets at the tilt-a-whirl. ;) I think the difference is obvious. I was making the point that both things should be open with modifications just like the majority of other states have been doing.

Societally too we will pay a price. There’s the weddings that are being postponed. Children which aren’t being conceived (because people don’t want to go to the hospital). Mental illness ods and suicide. Children falling behind. Delayed health care. Relationships which can’t get going because dating is restricted.
