No Politics please.

....politics was the entire gist of this thread it seems. People have free will. People know right from wrong, even children. Model what you want to see. Poverty has nothing to do with common courtesy and civility. In the poorest regions of Afghanistan, I experienced the most dignified, hospitable, caring people you will ever know- their code of hospitality ("melmastia"), mandates all members of the tribe treat guests/strangers with the utmost respect and courtesy. So stop the BS stance that poverty "causes" it. Culture causes it. Our culture is hedonistic, depraved and void of true substance currently. WTF is a "Social Media Influencer"? ...perfect example of the issues I stated in the previous sentence. We need to stop making excuses for our failure to parent.

Fear The Fox...

Seriously doubtful that they have nuclear information at high school football games... sigh.

Pretty sure they have drugs and weapons at high school football games.

A Westside High School student was arrested for possession of a loaded firearm and possession of drugs, Duval County Public Schools said in an email to students' families.

Police found the drugs and firearm in a car after Friday's football game, police said.

Those metal detectors that have become necessary at high school football games across the Nation won't detect a drug substance. What better market place than a stadium full of influential undisciplined juveniles.

All the seniors in the stands don't need a medical marijuana card, they can inhale it for free from the stadium air.

...our materialistic expectations..."stuff" is higher...our expectations for polite conversation and social interaction are apparently not higher.

Not just South Carolina.

Two high schools in Maryland suspended their football seasons Saturday after a massive brawl broke out between players and coaches during their game Friday night and spilled out into the parking lot when it was double-forfeited.

One school district in Georgia is considering changes to its security protocol following two shootings at games on back-to-back days last weekend. Both involved spectators, with one taking place at a parking lot tailgate after the game.

In Minnesota, three minors were arrested at a game Friday night when a group of between 15 to 30 teenagers caused a scene with a large fight.

A game in Colorado is currently on hold thanks to a fight breaking out between players in which some fans jumped the fence and joined the mess.

This has become as much of a decease that covid swept across the Nation. Speaking of, you would think people would be grateful to return to high school football games.

People don't have pride in impoverished communities, never have, never will.

Seriously???

Did I miss something?

I think we should be able to talk politics if we keep it civil.

Besides. Look at the trail of dead threads I leave behind. I’m sure a few thousand words and everyone will piss on the fire and go home again.

You have to be wealthy to purchase tickets to a high school football game?
