Can’t wrap my head around the @pchd recommendations to shut down all sports. I can’t think of any group of 14-18 year olds taking better care of their bodies and being more safe than the ones in sports trying to get to another Friday night

Its time to open up Tucson football @pchd and @tucsonunified . We have been practicing over 3 months w/out a single athlete test positive. While I have not seen a + test,I have seen grades, morale, & motivation continue to fall. Keep your politics out of their lives & #letthemplay

Very sad day with the passing of Sabino legend Coach Joe Abney but the outpouring of love show just how much you meant to this world and the people around you. You will be forever remembered through the lives you’ve touched. Rest easy coach. We love you.

My fav argument against the open division is “what if teams start throwing games so they dont have to go?” This was obviously made by someone that doesnt have the mentality that football builds. We compete every day and if youre going to throw a game youre not gonna last long
