For someone that says "Life is not fair. Adapt and overcome. Take the hand dealt." And says other things like "Freaking wussification of America. Too much coddling and not enough tough love." You sure do complain a lot about other people doing what they want. Maybe you should "Get over it". LOL! I see I hit a nerve there with your thin skin. LOL! Get over it!!! :-)) You're just being a hypocrite. Thats all. And I thought the previous comment towards youth suicide was a douche bag response.

I agree with this 100% From DCTF: “We are going to have to risk athletes getting Coronavirus in order to play. This is not a risk we need to take. Even if there is a less than 1 percent chance an athlete could die from this, that is too great of a risk for a sport.” t.co/qHUlfKkUif ✍️ @tepper | #TXHSFB t.co/ykvXMv2EkkTo agree with this doesn’t make sense. The first sentence I’m good with. But the “even if there is a less than 1 percent chance an athlete could die from this, that’s too great”...then shut down the sport right now for good. People do die from CTE. People do get life altering injuries and are paralyzed in this sport. And yes those Are probably more than 1 percent.

Life is not fair. Adapt and overcome. Take the hand dealt. Kids do not "have to" get back in school now. Kids "do not need" football. Parents and kids need to work through it and come out on the other side. Freaking wussification of America. Too much coddling and not enough tough love. The risk is too great to start in-classroom instruction until communities can slow the spread of COVID-19. There is already a shortage of masks and PPE for medical/healtcare workers. In-classroom instruction will put an even greater strain on that struggling supply chain. Could have avoided this mess if actions were taken sooner as well as maintained social distancing, wearing masks and people staying at home. The relaxing of these restrictions and careless actions by others have resulted in this current state of the mess. It is what it is now. We are reaping now the benefits of what careless people were sowing the past two months. Get over it. For someone that says "Life is not fair. Adapt and overcome. Take the hand dealt." And says other things like "Freaking wussification of America. Too much coddling and not enough tough love." You sure do complain a lot about other people doing what they want. Maybe you should "Get over it". Other people, "doing what they want", caused the spike and why we are in the position we are in.

Absolutely and it’s a serious problem that needs to be considered. Kids commit suicide as it is over a girl or boy. We had a player many years ago who was going to be a starting standout player in our backfield. He was injured In a scrimmage and missed his entire junior year. He was seriously depressed and suicidal. Fortunately his mother who is dear friend to me recognized it and sought help for him. So don’t tell me this isn’t going to be an issue for kids. Phil Danaher has always said that kids need football more than football needs kids. He’s 70 years old and ready to get on the field to work with kids. It’s easy to sit back and say we need to wait until there’s a vaccine but that could take years. I feel for these kids. Life is not fair. Get over it. There is a big spike in suicides in the Military and with Veterans this year. PTSD is a majot cause of suicides in the military and with Veterans. 2020 was dealt a pandemic of COVID-19. There were actions to take that could have been taken sooner. Social distancing, wearing masks, and people staying at home did work. The problem is the relaxing of those measures as well as those that did not wear masks or practice social distancing is why there is a big resurgence, especially in Texas. Below is a great article from the Austin American Statesman that describes what happened to Corpus Christi/Nueces County. www.statesman.com/news/20200712/in-corpus-christi-out-of-towners-drove-in-outbreakLol@ The Austin American Statesmen. Is that where you get your news from lol? Did they mention the protests or the proximity to our open border as a contributing factor? I'm guessing they didn't.

LOL! I see I hit a nerve there with your thin skin. LOL! Get over it!!! :-)) You're just being a hypocrite. Thats all. And I thought the previous comment towards youth suicide was a douche bag response. I am not a hypocrite. I don't care what you think. Life is not fair. Life is not easy. I personally know suicide victims and what their families still go through, including my family. I am suicidal all the time. I just don't act on those tendencies. I just got messed over with COVID-19 quarantine from my job. I lost $2,000 in pay that won't be replaced. Just have to suck it up and drive on. No time to cry about it. Just like this mess. Whatever happens, happens. Cause and effect. The mess we are in now was totally avoidable. Oh well. People wanted to do what they wanted to do. So now here we are. I lost my Dad three months ago. I can't yell for someone to bring him back and say it is not fair. That I need my Dad here right now. Now my wife and I care for my elderly Mom, that was totally dependent on my Dad. My Mom is an extremely difficult person to live with and she is advancing with Dementia. It has put a strain on my wife, who is still recovering from a serious flare up of Ulcerative Colitis September to January. Caring for my Mom has put a serious strain on our relationship. No time to cry. Suck it up and drive on. And our youngest son is an adult that is autistic and living with us for the rest of his life. No time to cry, just suck it up and drive on. So yes, parents and kids have to work together through this whole mess and come out on the other side.

It's not a sign of weakness but strength. People react different to these situations. For you sucking it up and move on may work but for children it doesn't work like that.

I see that your reading comprehension is lacking. That is why I stated in both posts for "Parents" and "Kids" to work together to get through this. It is a joint venture.

If a child is truly depressed and suicidal you think they are reaching out to their parents? Some may but Id bet most dont. Do parents notice this depression? I'm sure some do but others dont. It's not that simple as "work together and get over it". It's a complicated issue that you expect others to handle like you do.

Especially in this abnormal time. Absolutely the parents should be communicating, researching, investigating, and be aware. Intervene. There should be no woulda, coulda, shoulda.

I wish parents would notice it in their kids and I wish people would recognize it in each other. Wish we all could look out for each other and help each other when people need it but its just not the way it works.

I wonder how many schools have to delay and miss games or not want to play a season before the UIL cancels everything. Maybe the season continues as normal without those that want to sit out.

Just a guess... They delay 6A and 5A 4A and under start on time if possible Several sources are citing that the Governor will announce a Texas statewide shutdown by Friday. If you want to know why? Then wake up and smell the Roses. We are in a mess due to irresponsible people, " Doing what they want to do!" Your posts (rhetoric) sound like you are in that category as well. So enjoy what those careless people did the past two months. Texas should have taken this pandemic serious. So now we reap what careless people sowed. There will not be in classroom school for a while. Any responsible parent will not put their kids at risk above and beyond the normal risks of school and sports.

Saw a national interview with the Governor tonight and said he isn’t even considering another state shutdown.
