I’m sure it’ll cost $250,000-500,000 and it’ll go into pockets of some local “leader”.

A sports league is fine and most parishes already offer rec sports. Just don’t pitch this as any sort of crime prevention.

A good many years ago Ellick put a basketball court on Lower 3rd street to give the Y N’s something to do.
One got mad at another,got a pistol out of a duffle bag and shot him.

How many generations will it take for the Dems to realize there is no replacement for good parenting and positive role models.

Unknown - likely infinity in this case since they bebop around without having a freaking lick of sense regarding the root issue.

So how many games into their season before the first gunshots?

The likelihood of gun violence is directly proportional to the level of cultural "enhancement" at almost any event.

So...halfway through the second game.

i mean, how much does flag football cost? Since the government can't mandate morality, can a cheap football club keep some of the kids busy for a while?


It'll work this time, right?

Let the government get involved and find out, lol.

Program director, activity planner, facility coordinator, flag repairer, football procurement specialist, coach, ref, security, consumables, consumable dispenser specialist, treasurer, oversight, etc…..


You are right about that.

You’re saying he has a problem with every single thing that isn’t… forcing fathers to be present in heir children’s lives? Which he claims is the only thing that could solve societal ills?

Since you are calling everyone who has ever said sports kept them out of trouble liars, idk.

In this case, do you envision that a flag football venue will teach values in folks participating?


Have you ever played a game in your life? It’s like you People skipped childhood and went straight to get off my lawn.

My kids play sports. It helps them make more friends and stay active. Same things sports did for me when I was a kid.

yes ma’am. I’m sure that happened. Just like that time you chose to share a dressing room with some random man dressed like a woman.

Too many baby mamas spitting out YN`s for the government handouts and letting them run wild in the streets.

It all started with LBJ`s 1965 Great Society programs.
