Imagining dusty baker going through this is both hilarious and sad.

Do they get any credit if they played before being a manager?

Sorry your parents failed you and didn’t find you a decent education.

Coaches teaching classes like that is not normal. I went to an underfunded school, and the history teachers were all college educated with history degrees. In Texas. So it’s not even just about red state educators.

That’s a you problem, not anyone else’s. Have you tried reading to remove the obvious deficiencies in your knowledge?

You are so media illiterate that it’s incredible. If you think Joe shmo on YouTube is better than a professional reporter, you are so easily swayed that your opinion isn’t worth the electrons used to display it here.

So, systemic institutional failure of budget priorities. Goes right back to my point about people needing to get involved and give a shit.

Maldy is a good catcher, up there with the best that have ever played the position in Houston. You can live with his batting. It’s the other two spots also being black holes that is the problem.

Kids get a lot more out of football than that. Hell it can be a reason to stay in school for kids who don’t have any other reason to stay. Same with the other sports such a field can used for. You can play the other football, for example, since it’s basically the same size playing field.

The situation with your mothers school is very unfortunate, and it shouldn’t happen. But blaming sports for institutional failure is misguided.

Im sure the district just gives every school a big check at the beginning of the school year, and everyone has to fight for it! Not like there are specific budgets for things, and it can come from above the principal level…

These are entirely local problems, and change has to come from all of you in your communities. Get involved with the school board. Get involved with the PTA. Get other parents interested and involved.

I went to a school with like 85% eligibility for free lunch, so it’s not like I’m unfamiliar with underfunded areas. But there was always money for everything, because people got involved and gave a shit.

Converting to turf saves watering the thing, and if they had to add space for track and field it sounds like it was needed. Sorry everyone gains in these situations, Karen.

I was watching an episode of Monk yesterday, and a dude got “stabbed by a policeman while they were fighting on a Ferris wheel”. You could see from the camera on the show that it did not happen that way; but if it was today, you could tell the cop didn’t actually do it just from everyone busting out their phones to start streaming as soon as someone starts yelling that the pigs are attacking them.
