Do not ever get between parents and their kids’ sports. This is an important lesson anyone who has ever witnessed someone go all momma bear at a local soccer match when a referee makes a bad call. Police often attend games to make sure overzealous parents don’t go crazy over minor offenses. With college futures on the line, some parents will not be ok with anyone disrupting their plans.
This is a lesson Ammon Bundy failed to learn when he caused the cancelation of a Caldwell vs. Emmett high school football game1 so he could protest being asked to wear a mask during the pandemic. Bundy, a parent of one of the players on the Emmett high school team was not allowed entry into the game because he refused to follow the host school’s rules and wear a face mask. This football season is dominated by COVID-19 and rules were enacted to ensure the safe re-opening of schools and allow sports to continue.2
What happened at the Caldwell vs. Emmett football game?
After Bundy was denied entry for his mask-less stance, he was asked to watch the game from a nearby public park. He refused and demanded entry. The school administrators called the Caldwell police department because he would not comply with their requests and he refused to leave school property.3 The police assessed the situation and while he may have been trespassing, they decided to not push for making an arrest. Undeterred by the police and the administration, Bundy proceeded to watch the game from outside the football field fence.

Gee, where have I heard that name before? RIP LaVoy Finicum.
LOL, that didn’t take long.
And oh it’s so awful they have to make a big news story out of it.
A little about the game...and a lot about Ammon Bundy’s history and previous conflicts with the govt. The author was using the game as an excuse to badmouth Bundy from behind his computer screen. Sniveling little dweeb.
Al is the man!
"The Emmett High School football coach approached the mask-less Bundy and informed him that the Caldwell High School Superintendent planned on canceling the game if he did not end his protest and either leave or follow the rules. Bundy once again refused to follow the rules and the game was canceled at half time.Every consideration was made to accommodate Bundy and comply with the rules everyone at the game was asked to follow. He could have gone to the park, he could have left, or he could have worn a face mask."
Good to know Ammon isn't at all narcissistic with feelings of entitlement.
Those Bundys give welfare queens a bad name - expecting grazing rights on Federal lands owned by all of us for nothing. And self-respecting Idahoans [I’m a native, no longer living there] should run this jerk out of the state.
Or they could have just played the damn game. He was NOT out there touching any of the players. These damn mask Nazis wish they would all die horrible deaths.
Oh please, this was TPTB shutting it down because they weren’t about to allow public defiance of their stupid mask rule. Bunch of Karens.
The Bundy’s paid their fees. BLM refused to cash the check because the Bundys refused to sign their bullshit “contract” that was screwing them out of their rights.
The BLM is infested with environazis who make it a personal mission to harass and destroy ranchers and miners.
Wake the hell up.
Punishing the spectators & both teams for the actions of one person is collective punishment just as has been done by evil regimes of the past.
I hate the mask but as told here, Bundy was an ass.
Yeah, I'm sure all the other kids and parents appreciated his brave defiance.
Right. Rules are for losers.
Of course they didn’t. Because they’d rather play ball than stand up for their freedom.
Most people aren’t real deep thinkers and prefer their bread and circuses. Boiling frog syndrome, the type that will die on their knees.
Right. That's exactly his attitude.
Everyone else who want to make their own choices and live their lives are suckers.
Only Ammon is righteous.
What’s happening is actually abusing kids....they will grow to hate these insane authorities making such ridiculous judgement calls.
Just like Governors of states are doing now with covid rules.... They're getting in between citizens and the ‘freedoms’ of a free country which our Bill of rights and Constitution gave us...bec ause their authority has gone to their heads..
Stupid rules are for scared sh!tless people who deserve to live their lives in irrational fear.
