If you want to mad and sky scream about COVID then go ahead. It won't make you a better parent to your son though. This is something that even professional teams are having issues dealing with, much less a high school.

Whether they play tonight or not your son will wake up tomorrow. Whether he plays varsity as an 8th grader or 9th grader that will make no difference by the time he's a 10th grader. There isn't a hall at SSC where all the 8th graders who ever played varsity ball have their name and picture etched into forever. You are really getting wrapped up in this over nothing.
He still gets to kick whenever they play next even it it's not this year. Your son will be fine.
*I do know Thomas G btw... Small town. My mother grew up in the same small town.

Both of you need to get over that. He's an 8th grader. He's got 4 more years to play. If he's as dramatic as you about this, he's in for a long tough road in life.

Thursday he gets his new uniform, number 99
Tell him to keep his head up.
If that doesn't work, take him to a Mexican whorehouse and get him laid.

If he hasn't figured out that life is unfair by this point then he ain't very bright.

That's it? That's the issue?

I don’t know Thomas all that much, but his place is fun.
Son finished Junior High football Tuesday night, with his best showing at QB all year...very accurate, calm...they lost every game this year and outside of a couple onside kicks, he didn’t get to do much with his foot.
Wednesday at school an assistant coach told him that the head coach expected him at practice...I brought him cleats, he kicked the ball really well. Head coach tells him after practice that he’ll definitely play Friday/today.
Thursday he gets his new uniform, number 99, and kicks exceptionally well with the special teams coach. Dead center, over the uprights from 44yds....set to play tonight.
Kid who isn’t at school today’s parents calls in at 11:00 and say he tested positive. We’re on our way to school to bring my boy his gear and we get a text...it’s so over, quarantined for 14 days, season ends next Friday unless they win tonight.
Just talked to the coach, he says show up in 14 days...confident they’ll win.

I know this all didn’t make sense, but oh well.
wait wait wait
You can't handle THIS on your own without seeking advice from internet strangers and running out of your house to drink about it like a fricking baby?
I feel sorry for your kid.

Let me ask you one simple question:
Would you prefer your son figure out life isn’t fair when he’s a 14 yr old kid still living at home, or a 24 yr old adult out in the real world?

An 8th grader getting playing time on varsity, and a full fresh uniform, 2 days after finishing a season at QB...not big to a 14 yr old? It literally disappearing 3 hours before your first travel varsity game day events started.
Life was unfair today.

And tomorrow will be another day and will be fine.
So you, a grown man, tell your 14yo son, “life isn’t fair and that tomorrow will be another day and will be fine”

searched 7 pages looking for "Life's hard, then you die." Apparently my dad does NOT post on here.

And a stronger, wiser parent would be able to put your kid’s experience in perspective and use it as a teaching moment for him.
Instead you’re getting drunk and feeling sorry for yourself.

Unfair is a tad hyperbolic. Life was a bit of a disappointment today. I get that as 14 year old that's a big deal, but in the grand scheme of things he has a plate full of food, a roof over his head, and apparently parents that love him enough to start some shite on a message board for him.

This whole thread was about your 8th grader not being able to play in one football game?

This about him or you?

this was somehow even more pathetic than i imagined it to be. holy shite,

On high school varsity as an 8th grader...the last two games of the season.
The whole idea of that opportunity disappearing wouldn’t be a loss to a 14 yr old boy?

Oweo is a far, far better poster than this self-important d-bag. His stories are better, funnier and not nearly as pathetic. What an attention-seizing simp...
