If you’re If you’re not a Warren Zevon fan, you won’t get it.

Glad I'll be in and out of that area a month earlier. 300 team basketball tournament at the Wisconsin Center. It was originally scheduled for April.That didn't happen. Not sure why it's called The Windy City Classic...........when it's in Milwaukee.

Just wait until someone tells them they can't get in free. 😄 They will have to shout from outside.

Good theory. I also went to a rural school. D1 players came around once or twice every 20 years or so, but that didn't stop us from having fun.

You are dazed and confused.. why does everyone think that people are dropping like flies from this virus.. they arent...WAKE UP. My dad did social distance, he didn't go anywhere for a month. I didn't even see him... boom infected. Social distancing hasn't worked. If that isn't obvious by now you are living in a cocoon. Georgia isn't flaring up and they have been open almost a month... the virus has and is running its course.. my dad wasn't one of the lucky ones. He was part of the LARGE majority that caught this and did fine with it. Its not the flu, its worse, no doubt. But it is not black death. Media would have you think people are just dropping dead everywhere and they are not. That's the bottom line. If you are "at risk" take precautions, but by all means don't act like this is killing everyone, because it's not. "One of the lucky ones" gimme a break

I don't disagree with you, I am just telling you what I was told. BNL sticks out as someone I was told and I remember that because I was surprised. But I could be remembering wrong. JC & Seymour for sure. It is generally the first 6 weeks or so of their schedule, depending on the size of their district. Some districts have just 4 teams, so only 3 games that they will typically play at the end of the season. Others have 6, so that will usually be the last 5 weeks of the season. I did see FC picked up Cincinnati Elder for week 3. Quite a step up in competition. Good for them. They already play Kentucky powerhouse, Male, during week 1.

So Indiana is now moving to phase 3. On Friday. It should have been Friday all along - originally it was this coming Monday......Memorial Day......So Campgrounds were planning on being closed during a weekend where many of them make 50% of their annual revenue.......Today many campground owners are literally buried in phone calls from people RE-reserving sites they had to cancel......and scrambling to ready the parks fro a huge opener.......SF is glad the Governor pulled the trigger for this weekend, but, Again - Should have been Friday all along......

Possibly. The Republicans ordered the economic shutdown. I don't have a percentage on how many of those are Trump Groupies.

*paid* Fear mongering. It's what Trump Groupies do.

FBS talent, or a lack thereof, isn’t make or break for a league. Best of luck to the NLC!!!

Athletes and their parents already sign a very comprehensive participation waiver.

I think the bigger issue is this: If schools only let students go back to school 2-3 days a week, how can a Superintendent justify going to practice 5 days a week? Here's an even better question: What about busing? No way they allow kids, or very many, to ride buses. Transportation is going to be a nightmare. The more questions you ask, the more questions that appear.

Travel baseball practices have already begun here in Evansville. Which highlights the illogical nature of the July 1 date set by the IHSAA/InDOE Option A - Athletes can practice with their HS fall sports teams, supervised by their HS coaches at their local HS facilities Option B - No more than 2-3 athletes from each school, resulting in a mixture of 5-6 schools, form a team. Then this team from Evansville goes to Westfield to play teams from Ft Wayne, Lafayette, Jeffersonville, and Carmel. If I had to choose which would be ‘safer’ from a public health perspective, I am choosing A. It’s not just a baseball/foootball thing. I can’t wait to see those travel soccer tournament photos in June as well.

Listen , this is all going to be new to everyone. What I like about it is the proactive approach led by the tier system the governor is putting out there, which of course is a moving target date. I see it as when gyms and other places allow flow of people again in a couple of weeks, that should give state of Indiana a good 5 weeks of data to see how COVID is reacting, if there is a large spike of cases as Indiana eases back into "normalcy" then you can expect the July 1st date to change. Just my opinion AND PLEASE: do not make this thread political, we have an entire sub forum full of people who will love to have you share opinions in there. have at it

Isn't this counter intuitive to the #metoo movement? Man I'm glad I'm not dating today, who can keep up with all the rules?

Then why did you react confused to his response? Now I'm confused.

Some GID forum members get all riled up and attempt to "fact check" memes.

I don’t think you can separate the two. It’s a unique situation, to which the judge fashioned a unique response.

I agree with this as long as my Constitutional right to be safe are not jeopardized by your actions. I read about someone bragging about getting by the "mask police" at Menards only to take it off once inside possibly endangering everyone in that store only thinking about himself and HIS rights. I'm sorry, but this guy is a tool !

This is where the disconnect is. So, you’re saying it’s OK to “build up your immunity” by increasing the risk to other people? Can’t you see that the only word to describe that attitude is “selfish?” And just what makes you think that not wearing a mask is “building up your immunity?” I assume you’re referring to the development of antibodies as the body’s response to infection with SARS-CoV-2? Check out this excerpt from an article published by the World Health Organization: WHO has published guidance on adjusting public health and social measures for the next phase of the COVID-19 response. Some governments have suggested that the detection of antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, could serve as the basis for an “immunity passport” or “risk-free certificate” that would enable individuals to travel or to return to work assuming that they are protected against re-infection. There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection. (Emphasis supplied) Here’s the whole article. https://www.who.int/news-room/commentaries/detail/immunity-passports-in-the-context-of-covid-19. The article concludes with “People who assume that they are immune to a second infection because they have received a positive test result may ignore public health advice. The use of such certificates may therefore increase the risks of continued transmission.“ This seems to fit your attitude to a “T.” It’s wrong. It’s inconsiderate. It’s dangerous, both to others and to you. That article from WHO is dated 4/24/20. I have searched in vain for anything written since then which contains contrary information. You are a responsible guy. Act responsibly. Put on a mask.

The most ridiculous part is there are lunatics who are cheering for the renegade judge.

Socialism FTW. And your children and grandchildren will be paying for it.

I'm looking forward to 65% income tax and $7.00 per gallon gas.

Exactly. It's something like socialists just don't seem to think or care about. And how will it be payed for? Taxing 'the rich'? Just printing more money, aka Modern Monetary Theory?

Last week, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote for as unanimous Supreme Court decision eviscerating and reversing the 9th District Circuit Court for inviting outside council to brief on an issue not before them.

No one is hated more than he who speaks the truth - Plato

Interesting perspective. Perhaps fear mongering is responsible for the economic shutdown of most businesses in Indiana for a virus where 99.99976% of residents have not died.

Ignorance is voting for a member of the uni-party, for practically any office, especially POTUS.

A completely on point breakdown of the entire situation: The New York Times Recoils at the Predictable Consequences of the Mandatory COVID-19 Precautions It Supports https://reason.com/2020/05/20/the-new-york-times-recoils-at-the-predictable-consequences-of-the-mandatory-covid-19-precautions-it-supports/ Contrast that with photographs across social media showing crowds of sun-seekers packed into parks in wealthy, whiter areas of the city, lounging undisturbed as police officers hand out masks…. Without a significant course correction, the [police] department's role in the pandemic may look more and more like stop-and-frisk, the policing tactic that led to the harassment of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, most of them black and Hispanic, while rarely touching white New Yorkers. [Mayor Bill] de Blasio has scoffed at the comparison, though it's not clear why. The "course correction" suggested by the Times—a "public health corps" consisting of "specially trained civilians" who would "fan out across the neighborhoods and parks, helping with pedestrian traffic control and politely encouraging New Yorkers entering parks to protect one another by wearing masks and keeping their distance"—presents problems of its own. While those specially trained civilians presumably would be less likely than police officers to tackle, beat, and tase people for perceived violations of COVID-19 precautions, the potential for violence would still exist. What would a member of this public health corps do if a parkgoer says he intends to keep his distance from other people but is not willing to wear a mask, since he (correctly) views the risk of virus transmission in an uncrowded, open-air environment as negligible? (Fun fact: In New York, a masked person who "congregates" in a public place with "other persons so masked" is guilty of loitering, a violation punishable by up to 15 days in jail.) The Times says "the Police Department would play only a minimal role in this approach." But if cops serve as a backstop in responding to recalcitrant pedestrians, we are back to a situation in which social distancing rules are enforced by blatantly violating them through the physical contact and close proximity required to arrest, book, and jail people (which puts them in an environment where the risk of catching COVID-19 is especially high). We also have to allow for the possibility that disputes between social distancing encouragers (who may not be as polite as they are supposed to be) and uncooperative targets (some of whom will be indignant and perhaps belligerent) will escalate into physical altercations. That danger is by no means theoretical. The Times cannot have it both ways. If COVID-19 precautions are mandatory, they must at some point be legally enforced, with all the risks that entails, including violence and racial discrimination. The public health payoff might justify those risks in certain contexts—if a dense crowd happens to gather in Central Park, for instance, or if subway riders refuse to wear masks (although that was the situation in the video that the Times cites as evidence of overkill). But the risks cannot be eliminated if voluntary compliance is less than perfect, as it always will be. Police officers charged with enforcing mask-wearing and social distancing requirements have to constantly weigh the costs of forcible intervention against the likely benefits. As the Times notes, it is not a task they welcome. "This situation is untenable," says Patrick Lynch, president of the New York City Police Benevolent Association. "The NYPD needs to get cops out of the social distancing enforcement business altogether." But that effectively means mandates will become recommendations. And while most people probably will follow those recommendations, out of concern for their own welfare if not out of consideration for others, some won't. The Times can't will away that tradeoff by pretending it does not exist.

Yet nobody wants to answer this question!!!??? Again - IMHO - this judge should be tossed from the bench for this. Am I wrong? Legal Beagles?

Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. That is their new hoax. - Donald Trump

I thought Joe Biden is the Democratic front runner for the POTUS nomination, and Mr. Yang dropped out? So Mr. Yang's plan to pay for all the new federal spending is to Tax The Rich and institute a VAT. VAT's are a terrible idea for the American economy: https://www.cato.org/publications/congressional-testimony/case-against-valueadded-tax https://www.heritage.org/taxes/report/how-value-added-tax-would-harm-the-us-economy https://www.marketwatch.com/story/vat-is-a-bad-idea-on-many-levels-2010-05-04 https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2015/03/30/why-the-vat-may-seem-good-in-theory-but-is-bad-in-reality/ https://fee.org/articles/value-added-taxes-make-it-easier-to-raise-taxes-thats-why-governments-love-them/ https://www.nationalreview.com/2015/11/value-added-tax-vat-rand-paul-ted-cruz/
