QB Jake Fromm Releases Apology For Calling Himself an Elite White Person
I didn't say it was funny. I said it was dumb.

QB Jake Fromm Releases Apology For Calling Himself an Elite White Person
If we're going to cancel everyone that makes dumb jokes, this isn't going to be a very fun world.

Launching humans into space again from America - Space X
The weather will either scrub it or allow it, it won't blow it up. They just said the weather is trending in the wrong direction. After saying for the past 30 minutes that it was trending in the right direction.

Surly Boxing Thread
My son (10) and his buddy have taken enough of a recent interest in boxing that we sent them to an introductory boxing lesson this past weekend at a local gym. They each got ~60 minutes of a private lesson. The thought is to recruit 1 more buddy (to defray cost) and send them as a group of 3, once per week over the summer. I haven't read the entire thread carefully. Does anyone here have kids training to box? If so, what age? Where do you train? What benefits do you see? Do your kids like it? Stick with it? We're in the Houston area and have started at Baby Bull Boxing. It seems like something my son might want to stick with, so I'm starting to nose around.

"Women shall not lead prayer at city council meetings"
Got to love it when a guy takes a verse about something happening "in church" and applies to to "in this town hall room." Hogue is wrong here. Obviously.

2020 Little League Thread of Dominance
We already don't share batting helmets. Use of catcher's gear will have to be addressed. No post-game high fives or handshake line. We'll probably only allow a certain number of kids in the dugout with the rest beside or behind, spaced out. Hand sanitizer available. A designated safety rep. Limited spectators, spaced out, masks encouraged. Personally, I don't think much of that matters for the kids. They are going to run, sweat, and jump all over each other.

2020 Little League Thread of Dominance
As a Board Member in our league, I'm in charge of the youth umpires and the scheduling for all ages. It's going to be a ton of work and a total cluster if we end up having a short season. So....a big part of me wants us to cancel. But, for the sake of the children, a part of me wants to play/coach.

Our league is also waiting for the Governor's words today. I think we'll make a go/no-go decision in the next couple of days. We can't keep dragging it out.

Our sports association is still hoping to play a condensed season if the powers that be let us back on the fields. Our select team is definitely playing as soon as tournaments open up. We got an email from USSSA saying they were planning on holding their Memorial Day weekend tournament. If that's the case, our team will be there. Anyone else hoping to play in their local league or select ball?

My kid got a 740 on the PSAT
I participated in the TIP program in middle school. As I recall, it was math focused. We didn't get any extra instruction on the verbal stuff. All math. Our little group all scored really well in math from then on. /csb

2020 Little League Thread of Dominance
Why would you not let him practice? Our dads group text message for my son's select team got really restless this morning. Trying to plan a practice. The problem is we normally rent field space from our local league. Those fields are on school district property, so they are closed. Now, local dads are taking their kids up to these fields all the time, but rarely more than 1 or 2 at a time and holding team practices is forbidden. Our coach is trying to lean on the program director since this wouldn't be a league team practicing together, it would be a select team. We could keep 4 kids in the cages, 4 on the infield, and 3 in the outfield, or something to keep our spacing....
