I would have requested Honorable Minister Farrakhan to intervene on their behalf.
These guys look pretty "athletic".

A Los Angeles Unified School District mandate went into effect Sunday that requires students who want to play sports to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, the Los Angeles Times reported.
And with that, Crenshaw High School's football team — which possesses a storied history as five-time city champions — saw its season abruptly end, the paper said.
Why? The mandate states that football teams need at least 18 fully vaccinated players to compete, the Times said, but Crenshaw has only 13 players who are fully vaccinated. And that's "insufficient eligible players," according to a LAUSD statement, KTTV-TV reported.
The Cougars were supposed to face South East in the first round of the City Section Division 1 playoffs Friday, but that game isn't happening, the paper said, adding that South East automatically advances to the quarterfinals.
One Crenshaw player who did not get vaccinated told KTTV that the LAUSD vaccine mandate "kind of messed me over for scholarships and things like that."
"Yeah, playoffs, especially championship games, that's really where everything gets seen, and that's what I was hoping on," he noted to the station before looking dejected and shaking his head. "But fell short."
Crenshaw coach Robert Garrett told the Times he was informed Tuesday night that the Cougars didn't have enough eligible players to continue fielding a team.
"They knew last week that I was not going to have 18 kids," Garrett noted to the paper. "I played 15 kids. The other kids are there so they won't be on the street. They're there for social and emotional development."
"It should be a free choice if you're gonna be vaccinated or not," parent Lala Brown told KTTV. "And if they are not vaccinated, there are people who don't agree with the vaccine but at least do some type of testing, and if people are negative then they should be able to play."
I thought about the race of the players and how this mandate really could be ruining chances for those players. But you won’t hear protests about Fauci’s and Biden’s “White Privlege”, will you?
They may not want to participate in Tuskegee experiment 2.0.
That was bright!
Welcome to Commiefornia.
The LAUSD gulag, bastion of the teachers&students held hostage by public health officials who’s agenda is clear, to keep the state and schools shut down and under tyrannical rule.
What an amazing coincidence!
The public schools educated black kids about the history of evil white people including the Tuskegee Experiment—and now they are saying that even though white doctors were evil for decade after decade, it won’t happen again....promise....trust us....because we are white....
Bwahahahahahaha!
it’s all about numbers... as if they actually had anything to do with transmission
I predict an exception to the rule. Or maybe riots.
They had their chance to dump Grusome and they didn’t.
The players did?
There is good reason why many in California would like to secede. Being at a distinct disadvantage in elections is probably top of the list.
I would have requested Honorable Minister Farrakhan to intervene on their behalf.
These guys look pretty "athletic".
Of course not, but the parents did.
More transference...
Dems are the party of elite white privilege.
