pnewberry1963 I have two sons. One who play in the band during football and one who plays football. They both miss out on college and high school respectively. It hurts o see their aspirations and dreams delayed. However, I support the decisions to not put our youth at risk for a game.

pnewberry1963 This is trumps virus . Open economy with same safety standards he applied to meat packing workers NONE. Now open schools same safety standards-- NONE. It is only through efforts of others and medical personnel that a million have not died. No thanks to Trump.
