In the case of a person knowingly having covid and being allowed in you'd own the school and the guy's house. The odds of that happening is less than zero.

I'm not sure your qualifications to assess the effect of safety protocols. I know you work in a hospital, but I know plenty of people who work in hospitals who don't agree with your assessment.

There are plenty of sleazy basketball organizers out there and there have been plenty of stories of people who knew they were positive engaging in group activities.

Either way, waivers don't innoculate venues/organizers from negligent conduct. No different than those camp waivers we all sign and then getting injured b/c of negligence by the host venue. I'm still suing to compensated.

The NFHS, in explaining the importance of high school sports (and other similar activities) during this COVID "plague" when some might downplay the value of high school sports compared to the major health implications presented by such, recently advised schools to refer to high school sports (and other similar activities) as "co-curricular" rather than "extra-curricular".

Meaning that high school sports, marching band, debate club, drama club, etc., are just as important as algebra, literature, biology, U.S. history, art, geometry, chemistry, world history, wood shop, accounting, trigonometry, auto mechanics, physics, foreign language (sorry, world language), etc., as we try to navigate through this COVID "plague".

If a school can set COVID policies to keep students healthy in calculus class, they must also be able to set COVID policies to keep students healthy while playing football.

The NFHS has often in the past referred to high school sports as "co-curricular" activities, but has now re-emphasized this language in this age of COVID, and COVID's effect on schools and classroom learning.

According to the NFHS, "co-curricular" activities, while not compulsory for gradation and not graded, are just as educationally important (and worthy of occurring in this age of COVID) as traditional "curricular" classroom academic subjects that are graded and are compulsory for gradation.
