I thought all the state wrestling was in Independence - five one-day tournaments?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This thing is becoming a huge joke. $9/game and hiding behind capacity limitations? Solid work MSHSAA. Now you're going to have nothing but fans from each school in a cave. Great atmosphere for a state tournament. Might as well just have a coin flip and the winner gets to host. Just another example of kids getting screwed because someone's grandpa might get sick because someone that visits them went to a basketball game. Good lord.
He didn't lift anything, he hasn't had anything in place for several months. He is letting city's and county's decide for themselves and taking no responsibility for any of it. School districts have restrictions, MSHSAA has their restrictions. In the last 2 weeks I have attended a basketball game with no fans, a games with 2 fans per player/coach, and a game w/ no restrictions and a pretty full gym. The inconsistencies are odd.
Have you not been paying attention the last year or so?!?! Reasonable people couldn't possibly make decisions for themselves. Someone could do the unimaginable and pass around a virus, you know, while living their life!
Yeah cause half million deaths later it's still just like the flu. Those ain't all 80 year old folks and many people that get it have long lasting affects from it and we still don't know what that will be like a few years down the road.
WITH, WITH, WITH...it’s far different than because. You’re correct, they ain’t all 80 yr olds. Just like the flu and other viral infections, it will cause (yes, cause) deaths in those under the age of 35. I’m way cool with you still believing all of this crap that has been pushed on you. Ever wonder why it’s cooled from a media perspective in the last six weeks or so? And if you still choose to believe it, then you have options. Wear your mask. Avoid other people. Stay home. Hell, I don’t care. Just shut up and let other people go on about their own lives.
I enjoy going to games, personally, I felt safe at all 3 and I did wear a mask at all 3. It should be a personal choice and not political, but we can't be grown-ups and do that, have to "blame" someone or something. I get why some schools have made the decisions they have and do not have any ill will against those who have had full gyms. Had I not felt safe, I would have left w/o incident or pointing fingers. It was nice to see kids having fun at the games.
So, to answer your question, sorry I didn't, I would open it up and let people attend if they want and provide as many safety procedures as possible for them. Just me, my opinion.
Unfortunately, it isn't that easy or black and white. Some schools aren't allowed to make their own decisions for whatever reason, not important. MSHSAA has the call on the State tournaments, I believe.
I'm not sure either, I would think MSHSAA consults with the locals and then makes the call. Does MSU have any restrictions on their campus? I would think they have some say? Maybe? Again, I am not sure.
IIhave no idea what you're taking about, no where in my post does the word 'with' show up. I have avoided crowds, wore a mask when I need too and will soon be able to get the shots. Could have before now except I had to wait 60 days after my second shingles shot which was Jan 7th. This coming from a guy that hasn't watched less 100 basketball games in person in the last 30+ years, closer to 150 most years, but I have stayed away. I hope to be right back on the trail next season. You haven't shut up about it why should anybody else?
Half a million have died WITH COViD. Not BECAUSE of COViD. It’s a distinction none of you seem to want to make. And you’ve done EXACTLY what you should if that’s what you’re comfortable with. The rest of the people (and most importantly, kids) haven’t been able to do that because we’re still handling this “pandemic” the way we were 12 months ago, when the reality is the restrictions are goofy and not needed. The biggest fear of the politicians is they just lift all restrictions and nothing happens. Meaning all the stupid crap (like in person learning being closed 6-12 months for a lot of kids) decisions they made were completely worthless...Again, you do you. I hope you get the vax soon and can return to doing what you love.
So you know how many of the half million plus would have died at the same time in their life if they did NOT get covid? NO you sure as hell do NOT!! I don't give a damn what other conditions they might have had, they didn't die UNTIL they got covid!!! I will get my first shot Tuesday morning at the Black River Coliseum here in P.B.
Lol. FFS dude. The numbers were out months ago from all you Ronabros beloved CDC. At the time it was something like 9k of the 150-200k deaths (going off memory) was COViD the only and leading cause of death. Along with that was the release of age demographics and underlying conditions. If that didn’t open your eyes, nothing will. And if it didn’t, stay home. That’s the beauty of choice. You can do the same every fall/winter during cold and flu season.
Most of the schools this year have had their games online for free since the fans could not attend. But now that the playoffs are here they are not and MSHAA has the games available for $10 each. Whoever is making this decision should be replaced immediately.
On top of that, it is the exact same people streaming the games with the exact same camera/ipad. The only thing MSHSAA did was send a link to go through them and charge $10. It would be different if they provided more help.
This happened to the Eugene girls fans. The other team went to Eugene's FB page and got the code and bought up their tickets. I've been to a handful of postseason games, have yet to see anyone 'filming' for MSHSAA even though they had links to the game for sale.
The fact that schools just don't thumb their nose at this and stream it the same way they've been doing all year long just boggles my mind. Force MSHSAA to come after them.
I don't know this exact details on this, but I did hear this happened during a wrestling district or sectional event. The MSHSAA stream wasn't working so the host school streamed from their youtube page and MSHSAA called and told them to take it down. Again, not sure of the details and I heard that 2nd hand.
My response to MSHSAA had I been on the other end? Eff off...click. I really don't think there's a chance any of it would hold up in court. Just challenge them until they back down or force your hand to have the district's attorney contact them.
MSHSAA doesn't own players likeness's so all it would take is one parent to sue them for using the Childs likeness without permission and they wouldn't be able to charge for streams if I understand it correctly...So I don't even know if they have the right to charge to stream it
