If athletics are allowed to start on time but with the mandate of no fans in the stands there shouldn’t be one complaint from a parent out there. This is about the kids having their chance to play and if that means no fans gets it done then so be it.

So golf courses have been the one athletic bastion of freedom during COVID but now it’s not safe for high school kids to have a golf season? MAYB tourneys were able to be held in our gyms but football can’t be played outside? Bars stay open; schools shut down. SMDH

As far as sports go, almost every school district in the state has allowed summer workouts/conditioning to occur at their schools. Even if the start of in-person schooling is pushed back, there's no reason to curtail extracurricular activities that have already been occurring. ..

If there are concerns, play the games without fans or immediate family only in attendance or masks required. The Shrine Bowl was a shining example that football can be contested in a safe manner for the participants.

IF KSHSAA allows all fall activities season to start as scheduled, all schools should allow their athletes/participants the full ability to do so as well. There's no reason football games can't be played on Sept. 4 if allowed by KSHSAA even if some schools aren't in session. ...

Looking for the logic: Football can seed teams 1-16 in east & west (654A), no worries about travel or keeping teams regional for COVID reasons. Soccer & volleyball, (traditionally treated same way)? Nope, have to keep them regional & create some disturbingly imbalanced brackets.

The best hypocrisy was Wyandotte County making a great exception in its sports ban for “non-professional” sports to basically cease. But Sporting KC go ahead and have games with fans cuz, we’ll, we don’t want to lose ya. And need that revenue.

Welcome to district rematch night in the KSHSAA football playoffs. So many rematches of games played 2, 3, 4 weeks ago. No reason for that. A team shouldn't have to play a district team until quarterfinals or semifinals. It's an easy switch that needs to be made. Next year!
