The democrat philosophy. A law to restrict and regulate every human activity. Anything not mandatory is prohibited.

Is a remake of Heidi planned?

That game was closer with a minute remaining.

He said he knew the Michigan High School Athletic Association wouldn't like his bill.

How does he know?

Did he ask them?

Or does he just resent the fact that they control something which he thinks the government should control at the state level?

Why not just do away with football altogher, if that is what he thinks?

These liberals want to remove competition from society and put everyone on foodstamps and welfare.

If one gets your rear-end kicked in football, maybe they should realize this is the real world

Sort of like saying, well the person has cancer, so just give up... No use in trying... Never mind all the people that survive cancer...

I like it when politicians set out to mess up sports as they have so many other areas of our lives.

This is something that needs to be legislated??? If this is all the Michigan legislature has to worry about, it should be disbanded and the Capitol rented out for flea-market stalls.

So ONE incident creates the necessity for another law.

Madness.

"This is more for awareness," Rep. Kosowski said. "It starts the conversation."

Let's start THIS conversation.

Do away with more laws.

Fine any lawmaker that proposes a new one.

Or trade them for some hostage somewhere held in the world. But get these stupid idiots wanting to start conversations away from my life.

"a rule to end games if one team has a lead of 17 points or more with a minute or less remaining."

Granted, any "law" on this matter is nothing a legislature should be involved with and overreaching, but even if someone were convinced such a law was appropriate, this specific example is just stupid. I don't know of a single, dedicated football player who wouldn't think they could score 17 points in the last minute with a couple of big plays, a turnover and a few breaks. I've seen it happen. To just end the game would infuriate these players with the idea they were robbed of the chance to make a last minute comeback. At the very least they could score 7 or 10 points and make it a relatively good game rather than being embarassed with the tag that they sucked so bad they had to be put out of their misery.

So you eliminate any chance of a comeback, in order to help the only party who could benefit from a comeback. Got it.

The correct response would have been to ban the 4 defensive players for the remainder of the season. Or, if that was the last game of the season, and they were seniors, to make them or their parents pay for the QB’s medical bills.

HS baseball has a mercy rule. Usually after 5 (regulation 7) innings if a team is getting blown out, it’s over. At that level, if it doesn’t soothe egos, at least it’s less stress on pitcher’s arms.

Defeatism...the new lexicon of the “do-gooder”liberal left! What ever happened to the immortal words of the late Sen. John Blutarski who said;
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: [to Boon] Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he’s rolling.
Bluto: And it ain’t over now. ‘Cause when the goin’ gets tough...
[thinks hard of something to say]
Bluto: The tough get goin’! Who’s with me? Let’s go!
Toughen up America!
