Should the High School Football Season Move to the Spring?

WELL ALL YOU REPUBLICAN HATERS ARE OUT IN FORCE TODAY.  LETS JUST  LET  ALL THESE KIDS DIE. AS LONG AS WE DONT ABORT ANY OF THEM.  BESIDES  BUSH TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO GLOBAL WARMING ANYWAY.  ITS JUST ONE OF THOSE CRAZY LIBERAL THINGS.

Yes it never got above 80 degrees during the 30's 40's and 50's.  It was downright chilly in August back in those days!  ;D

Bleeding heart.

Moving football to spring?  Is this "change we can believe in"?  LOL...You've GOT to be kidding!  We've had enough interference!  Maybe it's the trainers that don't like being in the heat and not that they are concerned about the kids?  Maybe they want to "google" in the a/c......

I think there was a time when the coaches wrapped ankles and tended to the kids....didn't have the "specialized" people called "trainers".  hmmmm....

SETxfan1...You hit the nail on the head!  I grew up in the early eighties and summer meant working in the sun all day, doing something hard, and then going up to the school to run and lift.  We had no IPOD or any of that other video mess.  Bottomline, most of these football boys do not work in the heat during the summer and therefore are not used to the heat, period.  This whole issue of moving the season back is ridiculous.  Opening weekend of Deer season is the first weekend in November~!

Don't get it wrong though. There are kids busting their butts out in the sun and working hard just-a-bout everyday. Those are the athletes that progress to college. The ones who complain of the sun or who are "sitting in the house all day" are the ones who probably don't care about the sport after highschool. The college athletes today are better than the ones 20 years ago no doubt about it and those are the ones putting in all the hardwork and adapting. Just because there were more children in the 80's doing hard work in the sun, doesn't mean that there aren't any today working hard in the sun either. A little passion is all that is needed!

Leave the football season the way it is and leave the complainers on the sidelines where they should be.
