There is no CDC anymore. Everything they produced is censored or rewritten by the White House.

What makes the MD Sports Commission smarter than the NCAA? NCAA considered soccer as high risk.


CDC considers it medium risk. Who is in a better position: NCAA or CDC?


You’re a complete idiot. What does CDC stand for and what does NCAA stand for? Soccer is a sport dummy. The are basing the sport if it’s high, medium or low contact. Key word here is contact. High contact sports lead to high risk to infection.

Their only mistake was calling lacrosse a medium contact sport. If parents want to change soccer’s classification, do it. But don’t compare it to lacrosse otherwise the county will classify both sport as high contact.


Between the two, I’d trust the CDC with respect to matters involving people’s health.

Now if we are talking about who’s more qualified to make tons of money off the backs of free labor, then I’d trust the NCAA all day long.

Watch this local TV news video below and tell me if the kids are crying or the mother is crying. LOL

Why would they cry now.. they're literally on camera playing soccer and happy. You don't know what they were doing in april. My 5 year old cried about swimming for a week straight. Now she's not.


The kids in that video looks very happy, mentally fit, well nourished and most importantly physically healthy. Why does the mother want to risk exposing them with soccer games? I always say, be careful what you ask for.


Maybe because they’re playing soccer. My kids are the same way.

Parents crying like this are a bigger problem for the kids than the break from the game is. A grown woman crying over this is not lost on her kids who would more than likely take it in stride if Mom would grow up a bit.

And this goes to all the over dramatic parents who are bitching and moaning about this, back to school and everything else. Your kids will be fine, but they will be better if you set a proper example and just make the best of it.

I just looked at the ncaa list. Field hockey and lacrosse are also listed as high risk. Interesting that moco didn't follow that. I hate politics.

Great that it's getting more press. I want to follow the rules 100% but when EVERY other surrounding county and nearby states has it listed as medium risk. It really makes you wonder.

I think there’s a lot of travel team parents on here (and I am too) but let’s not forget just how many kids play for MSI soccer and SAM etc. Those clubs and most travel clubs have scholarship programs where kids in need can play for free.

My DD was really struggling - anxious, sad , lonely - until soccer picked back up again. Please don’t take that away MoCo! And if MoCo doesn’t let them play games, there’s a good chance the whole thing goes down the tubes (SoccerPlex is bleeding money).

I really hope they reconsider .... if adult pick up games are the concern, then focus enforcement on that. Not the well-organized youth clubs that follow the rules.


I agree with this wholeheartedly. My son is on an MSI Classic team, and the shutdown has been awful for his mental and physical health. Parents, kids, and coaches can and will abide by reasonable restrictions, but shutting every opportunity for exercise and teamwork among young kids is incredibly counterproductive. By failing to develop reasonable plans for reopening public schools and restricting youth sports so severely, our government leaders are really failing our kids.

Are you referring to the same organization that is allowing college football to play out this fall?

MoCo can't help getting into and staying in everybody's business at all times.
