No, you work for a piece of crap.

Well that's depressing af. Getting kids to sports and enjoying games was a much welcome break and semblance of normalcy. Looking forward to competitive tournaments really gets the DD going! I don't get it... more test = more positives. What's new? If everyone has been wearing masks, distancing, and bathing in hand sanitizer, why are cases going up so much?

Because people haven’t been.

Not sure what you're moaning about, the new order allows for soccer to continue. It's the spectators that are limited.

It does, however a lot of the games / winter training might not be able to happen with the 25-person limit. For 11v11 - could be no subs, one coach for each team and only one ref. For a lot of the winter practices - they have multiple groups of kids sharing a large field - this would impact that for sure.

Not this again ... It limits spectators not the soccer participants

AA Co isn’t stopping all youth sports, just the teams run by the county. Our club is moving our practices to a private facility starting on Monday. Business as usual for us!

When you all post stuff , is it like a game to see who will believe you? You do sound convincing though.


"The number of
people present is limited to 25. This includes staff, coaches, players, and any
parents, guardians, or immediate family, with the following exception:
(1) The number of persons present may exceed 25 solely to accommodate the
presence of 1 parent or guardian spectator per youth participant."

Exactly. The problem is not people who have a tough time listening to pieces of crap. The problem is pieces of crap who think people should do whatever they say.

People are wearing masks but they have never offered complete protection against the virus. If you have been in public around people wearing masks barking into their cellphones right next to other people, you will understand why masks are not a complete solution. Infection is going up uniformly across countries with variations in mask wearing. I think the weather is a pretty material contributor to increase independently of how much people are staying more inside. The idea that we have the ability to control this (beyond vaccines) is a nice illusion that comforts many people, but largely an illusion. Restaurants and bars exacerbate these issues but the problem would remain even if you shut down.

You do realize you quoted MoCo when the context for the above is the new VA rule? They are different. Funny as you seem to be making a dig at people but you are posting the wrong rule.

HS sports are still happening- “We want to make it very clear that the governor’s order for reduction in public and private gatherings to 25 individuals applies to 'spectators’ and not participants at those events,” VHSL Executive Director Billy Haun said in a release. “Nothing in the order prevents VHSL member schools from holding contests.”
