Yes we do live in a different world. Not because it's hotter, because we have ac in our homes in our cars and most at our jobs even in our gyms and shops we have ac. Kids play games on the computer and watch tv inside and instead of playing pick up games on the street or in someone's yard they go to the air-conditioned gym there parents pay for them to be able to go to and being outside working in the summer time? Yeah right, what respectful parents would have their kids outside mowing the lawn in this heat? They pay someone to do their kids chores so they won't get hot. It's all our fault our kids are passing out from heat exhaustion. They aren't used to it! Cut their cords, quit paying for fancy gyms and for other people to do their outside chores. Give them a basketball goal in the driveway, 10 minutes to call their friends to come play, put them outside and tell them they can't come in till dark. Oh yeah and the yard better be mowed weedeater and edged before Your friends get here. I bet we have less heat strokes! We they holler that they are thirsty point em to the hose pipe! Not the Fiji water your probably drinking. Yeah I enjoy my ac and Fiji water with the rest of you guys but we earned it they should too. JMO
Tl;dr
You're kid is going to dye if he plays football. And so is your earth.

Yea that was bad. I'm sorry. I hope all of our kids are better than their parents. Mine most likely will be.

Wow. That's some kinda stupid. In one eruption a volcano will spew out more CO2 than all the factories worldwide have ever put out.

Coaches should take a lesson form The Marine Corp at Paris Island.

The flag system across base is a very useful way to help keep Marines safe from going down due to heat injuries,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Bryan Wolfinger, hospital corpsman, Branch Health Clinic MCRD Parris Island. “It’s easy to understand. All you have to do is pay attention to the flags.”
There are four flag conditions and each comes with precautions of its own.
A green flag means the outside temperature is 75.0 to 84.9 degrees and personnel who are not acclimated to the area require supervision during heavy exercise.
A yellow flag means the outside temperature is 85.0 to 87.9 degrees and all strenuous activity should be suspended and personnel who are not acclimated to the area require supervision during heavy exercise. Outdoor classes should be cancelled or moved indoors.
A red flag means the outside temperature is 88.0 to 89.9 degrees and all physical training or strenuous activity should cease for personnel who have not trained and lived at Parris Island for at least 12 weeks.
A black flag means the outside temperature is 90.0 degrees or more, requiring all nonessential physical activity for all units to be halted. However, individual permanent personnel who have acclimatized may continue individual P.T.
“Not everyone is the same,” said Senior Chief Petty Officer Kelly Richardson, hospital corpsman, Branch Health Clinic, MCRD Parris Island. “So it’s important for people to recognize their level of fitness before making decisions.

Yes and you don't see high schoolers practicing near the active volcanos now do you?

As a 9th grader back in the 60s, waaaay back then, we did. Water was allowed at a break and we stuffed down salt pills. At the break we reached into a galvanized foot tub full of water, some melted ice, and ammonia to pull out a towel to cram on our faces to get refreshed. On one of our 5:30 am practices I had my thumbnail ripped off. They wrapped it in gauze and tape and I had to finish practice and not just watching either.
The good old days!

My Dad played in the 50's and he said they wouldn't even let them drink water at practice.

We practiced in all kinds of weather back in the day, but TBH that wasn't very smart. A Natchitoches Central football player died of heatstroke several years ago. Keeping kids hydrated and out of extreme heat is the wise thing to do.

Nobody pays attention to that flag.

Fun information that I read about heat/dehydration pertaining to injuries and deaths. They have increased ever since the Gatorade/water campaign of always being hydrated.
Seems like people are over hydrating which causes problems with salt in the brain. Some people say drink an ounce per 2lbs and drink accordingly to thirst.

I did when I was in HS. Every other school around did also. I don't remember hearing about any deaths back then. Hell, we didn't have AC in our HS for the first 2 years I was there.
If the players would get off their video games all summer and condition themselves, they'd be ready for this.
