If football is safe in Texas , why wouldn ’ t it be safe in Connecticut ?

Every team should be playing .
At this point , you ’ re living @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you think differently .
Let the young men play !

People in Connecticut are furious with the decision to cancel high school football.
In a video tweeted late Wednesday by Dave Briggs, parents, players and coaches in the state were protesting the decision to cancel the 2020 football season and chanting “Let us play” at the state capitol in Hartford.

You can watch a video of the high energy protest below.
Incredible turnout by Connecticut high school football players, parents and coaches PROTESTING the states decision to cancel the 2020 season. They’re asking @GovNedLamont to #LetUsPlay #letusplayCT pic.twitter.com/0JMpVj6nFS — Dave Briggs (@davebriggstv) September 10, 2020
Honestly, I feel so bad for these players, parents and coaches. There’s literally no evidence to suggest we need to cancel the football season, but it’s happening all over the place anyways.
In fact, the evidence suggests that there’s literally nothing extra dangerous about playing football during the coronavirus pandemic.
It’s amazing how people who claim to be pro-science are blissfully ignorant when it comes to the data on football. More than 1,000 high school football games have been played in America, and not a single one has reportedly led to a coronavirus outbreak!
There is no science to suggest playing football is dangerous. The science and evidence proves coronavirus doesn’t spread through football. The cowards in the media and elitist university leaders are lying to you. They HATE everything football represents. https://t.co/W7ZblcQDF4 — David Hookstead (@dhookstead) September 9, 2020
These young men had a season stolen away from them and I still don’t understand what that decision was based on.
If football is safe in Texas, why wouldn’t it be safe in Connecticut? How does that make sense to anyone?
They’re playing HS???? in Texas, Florida and even Oklahoma (21 COVID cases per 100K) while CT is 3rd lowest in the country (3 cases per 100K) https://t.co/xE0nJoKgF2 — Dave Briggs (@davebriggstv) September 10, 2020
Let the young men suit up and play and listen to the facts. The fact of the matter is that high school football and college football are working in many places in America without any issues.
Every team should be playing. At this point, you’re living with your head in the sand if you think differently. Let the young men play!

“Netflix released that ‘Cuties’ movie about twerking 11 year olds,” the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh wrote on Twitter. “Fuller clips of the film are now circulating. It’s way worse than I thought, and I thought it would be extremely bad. VERY explicit sexual dancing, girls grabbing themselves, crotch shots, etc. These are children.”

I need y’all to understand that not only did a group of adults make this movie, it won fucking awards. Netflix and their executives are watched this movie, including this scene and said “yeah looks good, let’s option it.” Hollywood is a sick sick place. https://t.co/OmcDZ24zC1 — Jason Howerton (@jason_howerton) September 10, 2020

The director, has previously complained that she has received death threats after the American poster for the film was released that depicted the underage cast on a stage in a variety of poses. Doucouré claimed that she was surprised by the American artwork, and that she had several subsequent conversations with Netflix.
Netflix apologized for the artwork used to promote the film, assuring critics that it was not representative of the movie itself. (RELATED: Netflix Apologies For ‘Cuties’ Artwork, Says It Is ‘Inappropriate’ And ‘Not Representative’ Of The Movie)
“We’re deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for Mignonnes/Cuties,” a Netflix spokeswoman told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film which premiered at Sundance.”
The film was produced by Zangro, a French producer who previously had a hand in a short film titled “Mamans,” also directed by Doucouré, with his company, Bien ou Bien Productions. The short film centers around a child raised in a polygamist household.
In an interview with Variety, Zangro applauded Doucouré’s work with the young teenage cast, saying, “It’s amazing to watch. She works at the same level as the kids. She has a deep and intimate relationship with them. She acts with them. She cries, and they cry. There’s a magical link and a deep sense of trust.”
