Sounds like a great place for a protest. BYOR (Bring your own Riedel), and be ready to pour your own. Bonus points for brining your own corkscrew. Do they have any statues? Asking for a friend.

I don’t think so, but his surrogate family, the Getty’s, may have a few!
Listen to what we are saying. Maybe 10 kids on a baseball team in [Other State], maybe a few kids from a camp in [Other State], and - let's be generous - 25 kids in California from a soccer practice, caught a virus that is 99%+ unlikely to kill them or even make them seriously ill. So, a few hundred thousand kids in California alone are now restricted from organized physical activity - outside, socially distanced, which is ironic since the virus is more likely to be more serious with people who are seriously out of shape. Good plan.
We are supposedly now waiting for a vaccine (when did that happen???? I thought we were bending the curve so as not to overrun medical capacity - which we are not doing!), and a vaccine may be ~50% or 60% effective, maybe more, maybe less. If I had a product today that I could market that would make the world's population under 65 years old 98%+ unlikely to die from this virus, I expect I could sell it for a TRILLION dollars. Guess what? I could do that with a placebo because that is the way it works with NOTHING. WHAT IN THE HELL ARE WE DOING?????????

Wow the wheels really are coming off of everything. Got word now our school has suspended all practices including DYS upcoming soccer camp and despite a being a private school doesn't think on campus learning will take place in September, at least at the start, but still wants us to be ready just in case and they want to, but LA County health might not let them.
So I've taken my own advice and we are leaving, probably for Nevada at this point, and we'll relook at it in fall if/when schools reopen. But that's raised some issues too. First I need to transfer my allergy shots but they've been giving me the run around for the transfer given that I haven't been set up yet in Nevada....my dad an MD allergist was willing to help out but they are giving us the run around and prepandemic procedures like a transfer meeting/check up don't make sense at this point. More interestingly, I have to make arrangements for a COVID test, in case the schools do open back up, since our private school will require them. But our ped doesn't want to issue the order since it's not medically necessary. Ventura county doesn't want to give it to us (since we won't be residing in Ventura county). And LA County doesn't think what the school is doing is very good considering the backlog in exams right now. My son's friend needs an MRI and they are requiring a COVID test too, but having similar difficulties. So it's impossible to arrange now and we may need to pop back for a few days IF the schools reopen. It's all such a mess and people are so close to the breaking point. Now Faucci is urging California back into hard lockdowns, and I guarantee that will not go well particularly after they said boo about the protests.
Later gators. Everyone staff safe!

I just watched a school board / parent conference. Disappointing, but seems most people want to hide at home. Here is the video. Parents seems pretty emotional.
Gavin Newsome is a horrible horrible individual and not any leader, he needs to be recalled effective immediately....

Brilliant! All forms of isolation, that'll do wonders for their social well-being and mental health.

Maybe time to start a parent run league for our kids...playing at parks and school fields that we own.

what percentage of silverlakers is owned by the city at this point? Any or is a privately own facility?
The State Health Department would have to be completely oblivious and derelict in their duty to not know it was going on (which is not out of the realm of possibility), but like GraceT said it had to be a wink and a nod. It was the fact that the reporter made it public.
I don't know about other counties, but in SD County it was specifically allowed and communicated by its Board of Supervisors with the support of the county's Public Health Officer.
Are there any Landon Donovan or Hope Solo statues the kids could tear down to really drive the point home? It would give the cause some real credibility.

Man up tough guy! Why are you whining again looking soft as table butter.
Why Landon and Hope specifically?
First US soccer names that popped in to my head. As we've seen, the identity of the statue is irrelevant. I think a Tom Brady statue or Bob's Big Boy would work too.

Is soccer cancelled again across the state?
Why are other countries cases, hospitalizations, and deaths going down?
Covid causes lack of oxygen to organs and tissues so any extreme pack of oxygen is going to causes brain damage.
Your dad is an MD just have him write a lab slip and take it to any lab Corp or quest diagnostics in California. My wife gets a test every two weeks.
Nevada also has restrictions including:
"no singing, dancing, playing wind instruments and high risk sport"
You can't run from a pandemic. It's just a matter of time until it reaches you. Nevada may also not have any soccer this fall.

Tearing down statues of traitors and racists is not irrelevant.
That is the truth. Anyone who has followed this forum knows whats up.
How many under 18 getting brain damage Dre? Just curious if you had some data. My buddy keeps getting delayed on results. Can you ask your wife why the hold up? Thanks
Probably will make pay to play worse, as the kids with money will have private access to facilities and trainings, while the other kids are stuck at home. Work from home parents tend to be wealthier, can drive the kid around town, while the latchkey kid is on the sofa doing zoom class and getting fat. Pay to play kid will increase his advantage over essential worker’s kid when things open back up.
No, not yet. Blues announced last night that they were suspending activities "per state guidelines" though. I'm sure more will follow, particularly in OC and San Bernardino where those counties have made public statements regarding youth sports. San Diego led an early push to get kids back out so I don't know what will happen there. Waiting and seeing.
BS!!!! WE need 26 players and go play for free. My dd never did that BS!!! Go back and read my rants!!!
