@Lucas4westside Someone needs to do a deep dive on how many Westside players live outside District 66. Benning, Ross, and so many more. In NSAA-land it’s ok because Westside recruited them as 8th graders.

When finished, take a stroll thru bell west roster. @BarstoolDrags

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@Jason_Kraft_ @HuskerInsanity @MayorLeirion False. People testing positive exponentially more likely to admit being in a bar or restaurant within 2 weeks of testing positive.

Mayor and governor won’t shut them down again due to impact on tax revenue. Public health less important than tax revenue.

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@xg8mT9gmjs8QUXN @strangelyzen @MayorLeirion There is no data showing schools or sports driving spread. None.

There is however data showing spread is reduced in cities with in-person school learning because of the increased protocols in school vs community in general.

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@MayorLeirion Residents of Lincoln need to step up and take your city back.

There is NO DATA to suggest youth sports even modestly contribute to Covid spread. You are just pissing into the wind until 12/7 when this idiot claims the need to extend the worthless plan as #s will be even higher

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@MayorLeirion You are so concerned that it’s no problem bars and restaurants stay open but kids can’t play?

Rate of infection is exponentially higher by those admit going to bar or restaurant within prior 2 weeks, but it’s easier to screw over the kids who aren’t generating sales tax revenue.

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@Bryan_Health @SuiteSwisher @MayorLeirion Where is the data showing youth sports contributing to Covid spread?

Is there even 1 confirmed case of spread thru youth sports in NE?

Respond carefully as I meet with UNMC infectious disease experts multiple times a week and know the data.

@omaha_scanner Thinning the herd.

@O3jfrye @NCAA @MLB @MLBNetwork What do you say to father of 2022 that “commits”to a B1G school as a sophomore as tool to promote his private instruction as “dad of D1 commit”? Player has held out of competition since committing as he’s below average but trying to protect “D1 commit” scam.

@rachel_scott @greg_scott_ @FauxCoachWoodar @OmahaPubSchool @OPS_LoganSupt @nsaahome @OWHnews @KETV Might as well wipe your ass with that response.

I “hope” to win the lottery too, but that is not a strategy. There is zero focus on anything outside of getting kids in class.

Define “too high” positivity rate. Why would be ok rate? She will just move goalposts not defined.

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@stuOWH Wait. She stated receiving 20 angry emails a day about football before cancellation decision, but no negative feedback since?

I’m opposed to physical violence, but any OPS parents that would like to slap the smug off her face in this video?

OPS never had plan for fall sports

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@Raiderpride56 @CBecker247 @OPS_LoganSupt @burke_athletics @HyVee @GovRicketts I hear you. I just think it’s extremely hypocritical position to say it’s fine to go without a mask in a packed bar, but football is too dangerous.

Kids should be in person learning and with sports.

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@NicholasPush This is the way to go.

Find a way, there are always options!

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@NicholasPush @stuOWH @nsaahome I also want to say the NCAA has an 8 semester rule for high schoolers. If they exceed 8 to graduate they have to go juco?

So now you are talking about changing NSAA and NCAA rules?

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@NicholasPush @stuOWH @nsaahome I get it, I really do. If they allow reclassification, what about the junior that waited his turn now has a kid coming back for a 5th year and he never gets to play?

Every action has an unintended consequence. Who gets screwed is never going to be fair decision.

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@NicholasPush @stuOWH @nsaahome And what about the Burke JR that gets a hardship waiver to MW only to have them cancel sports in 2 weeks. Is allowed to go back to Burke with another waiver?

Stick to the rules or get ready for lawsuits galore. No way NSAA is taking on that fight.

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@NicholasPush @stuOWH @nsaahome I am sympathetic to your perspective from view of an impacted parent. OPS is where you need to take the fight.

Look at it from a legal perspective - you do it once, and how do you regulate other "hardships outside the control of students"? No way NSAA is taking that on.

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@NicholasPush @stuOWH @nsaahome NSAA rules are the rules. Make an exception here and the entire can of worms is open for interpretation forever.

OPS dropped the ball - take it up with them.

There are options for those that want it bad enough (and can afford it), all within the rules here or elsewhere.

[FakePeteRicketts @FauxGovRicketts]

@emsick_reed @CBecker247 @OPS_LoganSupt @GovRicketts I feel bad for you kid. The adults failed you.

OPS leadership failed to even attempt a plan to enable fall sports. Stothert, Pour, Ricketts all failed. If someone had implemented mask mandate months ago, you'd be playing. Adults are the spreaders locally, not kids.
