[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Simply saying “just have them sign waivers” really show the ignorance haha[/quote]

Do you have any experience or involvement with competitive sports?  Injuries are common, parents do not sue.  I saw two concussions in the past year that could conceivably have led to filing of complaints or litigation.  Neither did.  No sports organization is going to be held liable for a kid catching a virus.  If a youth sports parent is seriously concerned about COVID-19 risk from playing soccer, they have never thought clearly about soccer injury risk and should probably already have held their kid out.[/quote]

Its a great try there. It really is.

In order to even suggest "just have them sign waivers" is to imply they would be moving ahead before suggest/allowed within the phases. There is simply no comparison to a possible concussion between two players and the possibility of allowing a virus to be spread through two entire teams and its staff. 
Its a complete matter of risk management and level of negligence. Negligence cases come from situations that could have been prevented. The spread of a virus among teams playing can be prevented- by not allowing the game in the first place.

The biggest factor here is that its all about Optics. The "industry" as a whole has to be all in or theres nothing at all. Its all uncharted territory.  The clubs are clamoring right now to get revenue for the fall, or many will go under.  There is no way theyll take on the liability if the regulations arent saying "go ahead with it".

Small town clubs will play before the big travel teams.
