MCPS Safety Plan for Varsity Football Games now Tier 2

[Anonymous]

This is what it means

At tier two, spectators are limited to students of the home team’s school only, as well as families of student athletes. Other fan capacity limitations may also be imposed, and game times and date may be moved around to maximize daylight and allow more collaboration with police.

This is such a dumb thing, the school system and the police are working together to make sure nobody is charged, nobody is suspended or expelled and the kids who do things the right way suffer.

Dr. Mooney and the Chief are yes men for the county and can't decide what to wear without consulting them.

Wait, nobody has been charged or suspended in the attacks?

This applies to all schools? There have not been any incidents at DC's school. What a disappointment and I don't have a football kid.

So members of the general public can no longer attend high school football games?

[Anonymous]

That's your takeaway? The big deal is that spectators from the away team or other schools will no longer be allowed.

Troll.

Safety plan for games to prevent crime is a different matter from an ongoing criminal investigation.

That's already an old rule.

Great, I look forward to more high achievers moving to private school. Enjoy the resulting test scores.

One of the offenders wasn't even at the game. This isn't a sports problem. It's a crime problem.
I'm much more comfortable letting my kids go to games than to parties where there is much more violence plus drugs and alcohol.

What? I have a grandpa flying in to see his grandson play at an away game. So done with this county.

It was the home team that started the nonsense. This rule says "we can't control criminals so we won't allow you to enjoy your lives anymore."

So can everyone just say they're the family of a student athlete? My five-year-old son really wants to attend his first football game...

My high achieving RM alum went to one football game about 8 years ago. There was a fight. He never went to another game but that would never have caused us to send him to private. I do not think many families would make such a big change relating to football.
