The LHSAA could open high school fall sports today with no help from JBE. It's not Phase 2 that keeps HS fball closed. It's the LHSAA.


No AA would open without the support of their governor, even if they are "technically" allowed to.

No other Southern state has a bug-eyed pantywaist freak for a governor.

You elected Edwards. Simple as that.

We elected Meemaw. She's not great, but week 3 of high school football starts tonight and there have been very few COVID game cancellations. I'll take her over JBE any day.

Also, we have college football in the state tonight, for the second week in a row.

Well, MeeMaw watched the news the other day and saw a bunch of football fans in the stands not social distancing or wearing masks... Had the AHSAA send an email to all schools warning them she will shut the football down if they don't mind her....

Considering JBE is a good ole boy from Amite, where HS football is YUGE, I honestly don't believe it's political.

It could be because our COVID stats are the worst of the southern states.

And our RINOs in the legislature are completely spineless, nutless, and worthless. Basically, the entirety of Louisiana politicians are ineffectual windbags looking to win popularity contests instead of do their jobs.


Member how certain posters said it was going to be ok if JBE won, because we would have this supermajority in the House, and unlike past legislators, these were going to be strong conservatives, and not RINOs?

This.

Conservatives do things like "vote their conscience" or "stay home"

Dems do no such things. It's all about the D.

Yes but it was LHSAA's phase 4 not the white house guidelines phase 4. they basically made up their own phases.

I don't know how it all works but to make things simply, lhsaa phase 4 = white house phase 3.


No.

LHSAA Phaase 4 = no restrictions. Phase 3 still has some restrictions.

Nope!

It is actually the immunity protection under recently passed ACT-9 that keeps football from playing. Our legislators passed that law which mandates all school related functions adhere to minimum safety measures so they could be protected from frivolous lawsuits in order to get kids back in the classroom. Unfortunately, football is a school related functions, so principals, superintendents, and school boards are hesitant to break those minimum safety standards in order to play a football game during phase 2.

Either the minimum safety standards need to be relaxed/updated to match the current downward trend of the virus metrics or the governor needs to move us into phase 3 for football to start so our schools can maintain their immunity protection under ACT-9

Most of them

Louisiana compared to neigbhor states

La looks worse then other states if you look at the cases and deaths since the beginning; but we look better over the last 14 days. And that is really the more appropriate measure for reopening.

What stats? It is irrelevant what happened 3 months ago. Cases as a raw number is also pretty irrelevant when Louisiana has been one of the states that has tested the most.

Louisiana Ro is under 1, percent positives have been under 10 percent for a month or so. Better than most Southern states, without a doubt.
