omg

they start two-a-days in mid summer here

and they play the jubilee games or classic kick offs as early as ****ing August

It’s like 95 degrees with 90 plus humidity and they’re out there in full pads

FOR NOTHING

seriously ****ing nothing - one of the top 20 most successful Florida high school football programs is like 15-20 minutes through residential neighborhoods from where I am right now and in their ENTIRE HISTORY the have three alumni who made the NFL

you’re talking hundreds if not thousands of blown knees and head injuries for ****ing nothing

I know it’s blasphemy but tackle football before college is bull****

That’s why in LA black leaders have started 7 on 7 flag leagues but the high schools go bonkers when college recruiters deal with them

Also around here “the midgets” and city league tackle is absurd. Kids blowing out their knees before high school even. And they think it’s blasphemy to call leading with the helmet penalties so they can’t even adjust to college rules.

Plus, pay college players for **** sake. It’s a goddamn plantation. A scholarship?

They’re coming in with 750 SAT scores. They can’t even read!

I hear ya.

Before corona I loved high school football and I’ve been to ****loads of games even teams I had no affiliation with so it’s really just sour covid grapes.

It’s really deeply upsetting to me that they’re playing high school football with fans in attendance right now. As I’ve expressed.

Football could have been a unified voice about putting our community health first.

To me, it’s really very disappointing.

Without covid I’d love to see some of those huge Texas high school football rivalries first hand. It’s a great culture that has truly failed us imo

Is it ok to slap the same name on a completely different place?
