Absent a specific threat, which they acknowledged, this is really uncool of Plano ISD.

Yea sucks for those kids.  I hope Eastwood can find a 10th game but that will probably be impossible this time of year...

Gross overreaction. Kind of like Crosby not wanting to play the Vidor Pirates due to alleged "safety concerns". Just stupid.

Yes and no.... Nobody should be worried about a Vidor/Crosby game.  But there's no concern about Antifa (or the imaginary army of white nationalists everybody keeps talking about) showing up for a political protest at a Vidor/Crosby matchup. 

It's unfortunate, no doubt.

I see some people are letting their "views" spill over into the sports threads. Take that back to the prejudice/political threads. Smdh...

The game is back on after a lot of back lash...

I think Eastwood will pick up the dub.

Per Matt Stepp it'll be on Thursday September 5th at the Ford Center. Nice venue for the El Paso kids to play in.
