Pa fall sports expected to start on time.

Mom and Dad went ballistic to the point they got them to cave. I fully intend on going to several high school games. Keep some distance, don't lick the urinal, etc. All should be OK so long as people aren't stooges.

Makes you wonder now if Pitt and the Yinzers (and Allegheny County) will have a change of tune. Keeping Heinz Field locked up is some serious lost revenue.

The Steelers make good money on games but the real winner is the city & county from parking & tax revenue. The Steelers can probably operate based just on broadcast & national revenue sharing. The people who get hurt are those who were gameday staff and the young professionals selling ticket packages.

I'm not sure this is a good idea. Next the marching band and cheerleaders will make a case for being there. Followed soon after by their parents. Stream the games. Mom and dad can watch at home.

Looks like PA has caved on spectators.

A large WPIAL school hit COVID problems. Kiski Area has shut down football for 14 days -- cancelling its scrimmage and Week 1 game.

LOL absolutely not. Both political parties are a joke. Trump is an embarrassment. I have better things to do, like clip my toenails and mow the lawn than watch that horse****.

Lol

You are watching the RNC right?

Everything is doom and gloom if Biden wins according to them. I guess it is okay to be doom and gloom if you are a Republican.

You must be a thrill to hang out with. Doom and gloom at every post.

Agreed.

I don't know. It might have come out a little different if anything you'd said in the previous pages indicate that you "feel horrible for kids who are missing out ..."

Then again, it's looking more every day like our kids WON'T have to miss out. So it might be a moot point.

High school football will happen this fall. It's already started in several other states.

High school has a shot to make it. College has no chance in my opinion. Kids that age, by and large, are just too difficult to control. You aren't keeping 18-22 year-old young men away from the ladies and parties. No chance. Hope it works but I'd bet on high school any day over college.

Let me tell you another story. My son had June 7th as his wedding date and couldn't have the big wedding he and his wife had planned. We didn't go to Harrisburg with pitchforks and torches. We adapted. They got over it. Big days on life don't come much bigger than your wedding day. I feel horrible for kids who are missing out on the chance to play a game they love, but in reality that's all it is. A game they love. Life happens, and sometimes it isn't pretty...Hope that story is REAL enough for you...

Quick story for you.

The high school games I go to are at a community park where the home team enters the field through the end zone. Before busting the banner, they do meet-and-greet with the community old-timers who watch from lawn chairs in the end zone.

I was there for the first home game last year, and one of the seniors came up to shake the hand of the guy next to me.

The guy said, "You ready?"

The kid said, "Ready? I've been preparing for tonight for seven years. I don't get another chance to do this."

That's why keeping it real sometimes goes wrong.

I'm keeping it real...You can ignore 180,000 deaths, but I choose not to...Ignoring it won't "make it go away" either...

Philly Public Schools decided to cancel fall sports 2 weeks ago in favor of possibly having a spring season. The Philly Catholic League (St. Joes Prep, LaSalle, Neumann Gorretti) yesterday decided to follow the Philly Public League and try to have a spring season as well. However La Salle College has put out feelers to have a fall season even if it's abbreviated and are looking for games for their seniors to get footage for recruits and also contend for a state title. I'm hearing St. Joes Prep is exploring the same thing. They're the big PCL schools here who have the alumni financial backing to pull something of this magnitude off.
