I hope a miracle happens and it’s successful. I’m pointing out BR culture and history. I think the funds need to go to hiring more poleece and building more jails.

Perhaps a dad would be a good start. They know their mom.

You believe this will be an additional expense billed to taxpayers?


JFC. Tree money, right? Where does GOV at whatever level get their funds from? Holy freaking crap. Can you please tell the board where funding would be coming from? I doubt a response will occur - but in any case, where is funding for this or any similar program coming from? Please explain in detail.

You are fricking dumb. I read your link and it's crazy you came away from that thinking the NFL will pay for most of it.


I have familiarity with the NFL leagues beyond this thread. My husband is very involved with youth sports through our kids. I’ve had knowledge that this was a thing for like a year now. The NFL does provide a large portion of startup costs and standard league costs. My husband has had calls with the NFL about establishing it where we live.

So what exactly is your problem with this?

So you do expect a tax increase to pay for maintaining existing fields. At least you have something else to be angry about, regardless of it’s real.

You’re literally posting in a thread admonishing BREC and Youth sports.

He just told you??? He told you this will not solve the problem and he is right. Then you ask him why he has a problem with it?? It is wasted money on something that will never help the problem. How much clearer can the picture be?

No doubt. Over/under on how many fights/stabbings/shootings that will occur? Remember the basketball tournament in the movie “white men can’t jump”. Pump a tractor trailer load of steroids into that and let it transpire. They better let trump send in the NG prior to the event.

I support wise tax increases - this initiative is not free, will be paid by taxpayers in EBR Parish or elsewhere, and will not result in anything more than increased 'teen' violence. It is obvious that you do not have even a modicum of common sense.

In this case, do you envision that a flag football venue will teach values in folks participating? Again, the root issue is parenting and upbringing. If you cannot realize that, well I suppose you are ignorant and without a modicum of common sense (as such a progressive lib).

Just stop all welfare. It will take a few years to cycle all the bad teens and young ones out maybe 20 years. But after 20 years …. No welfare cures the teens problem ….
