Think of it as a religious exemption.
In the U.S. many people worship the god Ball, up in Canada many worship Puck.
As teams made the NHL playoffs and advanced, restrictions in various Canadian cities were suddenly eased. If The Habs had taken it to game 7, Quebec might have been freed.
Some High School Kids can wrestle, but they cannot shake hands before the match because of covid.
Quite possibly the most ridiculous vanities ever posted.
Just tell us you don’t approve ig high-school football.
Dont couch it in some stupid COVID covering.
Sheesh

Why worry, football is played outside.
We had a local high school cancel their season after the team got creamed 65 to zero. This a high school in a metro area of 210K. It wasn’t because of a Covid outbreak, but a lack of older and experienced players. The coach said it was a safety issue for the players.
At my local high school, there’s a bizarre “game.” Students get all sweaty, even bloody, and then jumped into huge piles on top of each other, like a giant, violent mosh pit. Such an absurd flaunting of social distancing in the most outrageous way dwarfs the Tides laundry Pods challenge in its stupidity. Yet local administrators have actually even encouraged the game. Even when schools were otherwise shut down altogether, this bizarre ritual persisted.

And that’s exactly what kids need to do. Roll around on the ground and eat some dirt, run into each other, get sweaty and pile up, the kind of thing kids have done since a few hundred years before I was born.
Just how do you think herd immunity happens?
This is why kids of my generation were not as highly susceptible to things like the allergies we see today, we were not “protected” from the world around us. We rolled around in it. We got cut or scraped, wiped it off with our grubby hands, and kept on playing, or at the very most, slapped a band aid on it with our barely washed hands, and went back out to play.
Usually my band aids came off soon as the bleeding stopped, and I generally refused to put another one in its place as long as it had stopped bleeding.
I’ve never had any allergies, I’m not even allergic to poison ivy, I can still pull it up out of the ground without gloves on. I try to grab gloves these days, or at least wash my hands afterward...I don’t push my luck, I don’t eat it or stand in the smoke if I burn it...
This is what kids need to do, they’re just following their instincts to roll around in the dirt and expose themselves to the bacteria and so forth that allows them to develop their “herd immunity”...
I want to see every kid 3 years old and up doing exactly the same thing. Exactly as we have done since before this continent was “discovered”...
Let ‘em play.
I have no use for football, never did, but if kids want to play football, get sweaty and pile up, let ‘em. It hasn’t hurt us since the day football was invented, why should it now?
Shut it down.
Shut it all down.
Hard.
