They are still shuffling some brackets around. My guess is they are waiting to see if anyone else drops out |
| DC is telling people who travel to or from DE and NC to quarantine yet teams from those states are allowed to play at JefCup. |
I know, can you believe the gall of a tournament in Richmond not following DC guidelines- it’s almost like the strikers don’t real Virginia is part of DC |
I understand what you were trying to say but it came off really weird. |
Let me explain the logic. An area two hours away from the tournament is advising people to avoid the states of DE and NC, yet kids from that area will play against teams from those two states at the tournament. It is truly idiots like yourself that have placed us in this position. Don't you have a anti-mask rally to attend somewhere? |
Placed us in the position? Dude, globalism put us in this position lol; it's inevitable. |
Agreed. There is an inevitability about all of this that people just do not want to face. Like the WaPo this morning on vaccines not necessarily working. If that's true, why on earth would more lockdowns make any sense? Just deferring herd immunity, incurring crushing debt for generations to come, and destroying lives, physical and mental health in the interim while pushing off herd immunity and preventing your kids from developing intellectual and socially. Sounds great! |
Read some books, 8 billion people and there's a lot of germs. You want humans to progress technologically, culturally, and economically? Gonna burn through some of the deadwood at some point. |
Dense much? We just need smart people to connect the dots. If you are going top re-open and idiots are going to ignore protocols then we will be forced to return to a lock-down. Yes, this is inevitable but we don't need to make it worse by being idiots. Wear a mask and socially distance. It is not rocket science. It just seems problematic that states that are considered hot-spots are allowed to play in the tournament against teams from districts where residents are advised not to visit those hot spots. |
I can assuredly do laps around you. I understand all that. You are missing the bigger picture. You are essentially saying we should lock down to avoid lockdowns. There is certainly a logic in that line of thinking that appeals to a lot of idiots. So you are not alone. I wear masks and abide by social distancing rigorously. This has nothing to do with that nonsense. |
I am not willing to let DC and NYC dictate how the rest of us are allowed to live. We all get to have a say as well. You are free to follow their guidelines. We have all been wearing masks in indoor public places for months. |
Europe has roughly 3.5 times the population density of the US, but their Covid death rate as a proportion of population is about 1/10 of ours. https://www.gzeromedia.com/the-graphic-truth-are-new-us-covid-deaths-surging-vs-eu (the divergence is even greater now). That was not inevitable. That is the result of a failure of leadership combined with a widespread aversion to science and lack of discipline across the country. |
Europe is not a federation of countries. The United States is comprised of 'united states'. Have fun remembering that. |
| We are one week out with no schedule. Teams are dropping. Not going to be shocked if there is a last minute cancellation. |
A few teams have dropped since they posted the original acceptance list. To be expected. |
