Well, it’s a good thing everyone knows your opinion about this is neither valid nor influential. Who cares whether you “think it’s a little silly?” Your opinion about this is inconsequential so no need to share it anymore. Thanks.

Hey, it was outside and 98 degrees. Bigger issue was all the folks stacked together in the woods, taking in shade.

I can’t believe we’re facing 100% online school in September, and there are sports tournaments happening right now. It’s absolutely insane.

If true, this just speaks to Cabell's operation. In stark contrast, at Young Gunz, I personally watch King Crab himself not only get after spectators not wearing masks, but then also handing them out to enforce compliance, but also enforce the one spectator per family. And then at Mid Atlantic, Chris Robinson was pretty good at it too, catching people coming from the parking lots to the fields to enforce masks. Pleasantly surprised.


Please, one of the teams with few parents wearing masks at MidAtlantic were the M&D parents, Chris Robinson’s own club.

You're right. The *entire* world is in on the hoax just so Democrats can win in November. LOL

It's not politics, it's health and science.
So many of you cry "socialism" until you or someone close to you gets this disease.

Just got back from Young Gunz. Compliance was pretty good. Masks and distancing. “No team tents” was really painful because it was brutally hot.

Sounds like you are doing this right. Thanks for thinking of others.

Is that every tournament or just that particular one?



My HS son played in a tournament in PA last weekend and they did face-offs after every goal.

My MS girl played in MD and they did not do draws.

Both tournaments allowed ground ball scrums.
