The data continually supports young people with extremely low risk, yet they are carrying the lion’s share of the burden IMO. I get the risk that young people could expose risk to older adults if infected, but limiting kids ability to be kids, go to school, participate in sports, arts, etc. is crazy...I’m all for protecting the teachers, and figuring out a solution. I gotta believe it could get figured out, but the LA teachers union demands for Universal Healthcare and a Wealth Tax are Coocoo for Coco Puffs. Makes me wonder...

I agree with everything you said up to this point and while they did request this, that is not the issue RIGHT now. Here it is straight from the LAUSD Superintendent. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/l...o-reopening-schools/ar-BB178hPd?ocid=msedgdhp

Stupid demands are stupid demands, it’s disingenuous in terms of finding a solution and wastes time and energy from finding an outcome that will work. They asked for stupid things, really stupid things, and should expect people to react accordingly. That’s what happens when you do stupid things and make ridiculous demands. If I mis-understood the original ridiculous demands please correct me.

Asking for things relating to safety, testing, best practices, contact tracing, etc. and keeping people healthy are the things that reasonable people look for in coming up with a solution. I don’t think anybody would have an issue with that. I have no axe to grind with teachers. We (the royal we) are continually failed by the people charged to lead us forward. The solutions and plans offered lately are too often politically motivated and not focused on doing what is best for the people. It’s a shame...these career politicians number 1 goal is to be re-elected and outweighs their true mission of doing what is best for the people who elected them...until we have term limits it’s going to be more of the same. The intent of the founding fathers was not to create a system of lifer politicians...it was supposed be an honor and duty to serve the citizens of this country, not a career.

The great thing about the second paragraph of this post is if you read it with no judgment on the politics of the writer, it is completely non-partisan. Woobie and I have opposite political views, but I agree with the entire paragraph.

Same. Term limits and campaign finance reform and we might get back to public servants that actually serve the people, instead of their and their contributors pocket books. And until those two things happen we will continue to have dismal candidate options in both parties like we’ve seen for the past few elections.

One thing no one is talking about is the fact that none of the teams have had much field time for practice and this will be the first games of the year for most teams. The quality of the games will be poor if they do have the tourney

I 100% agree, but I don’t think the players will care and the parents won’t either. The crazy parents will still yell but that was going to happen anyways.

I hear that this Surf Cup will only be for the Best of the Best this time. My dd trains four days a week now ((privates with the top socal coach out there)). 40 yard dashes, beach running, surfing with sharks, hike running with snakes and many other outdoor challenges. August 15th she will start training in high level soccer like the champion she is to win another Surf Cup again. Those who fail to prepare will fail. BTW, Surf Cup is happening. Get your hotel reservation now why they still last. Free breakfast and big time soccer.

When my dd played for the great Tad he had a cool way of ending the season. He had tryouts the week after our team won the Cal South 2015 State Cup for all players who wanted to return. Tad honored his one year commitment and so did the player. This is how cream rises to the top. You have to make tough cuts at the end of each season if you want to have the best of the best chance of winning every year. He already had picked up new players for the following season so some kids were on the Chopping block. We had tryouts in late March and then he gave us all three months off. Three months off was amazing. Some parents thought their kids would fall behind so they had to do privates. I trusted the great one and my dd loved the free time off. This is just playing soccer games everyone. The kids need to play actual real soccer games.
