POLIS HAS SCREWED HIGH SCHOOL ATHELETES

Interesting. The title of this topic blames Governor Polis, but it was the CHSAA Board which had voted unanimously to wait until spring (prior to this topic being started).

DENVER — The decision has been made: High school football will not be played in Colorado this fall.

The Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) Board of Directors at a meeting Tuesday night unanimously voted to not reconsider any adjustment to the 2020-21 sports calendar.

The announcement comes a day after Gov. Jared Polis had made comments at a news conference saying he would support fall football.

Football was on the mind of Colorado Gov. Jared Polis during his press conference Tuesday in Denver.

The Denver Broncos are slated to play the season opener next week on Monday Night Football against the Tennessee Titans. Meanwhile, college and high school football around the state are on pause because of the COVID-19 pandemic with hopes of playing in the spring.

But, for high school football, teams might return to competition much sooner. Polis said Tuesday he would work with the Colorado High School Activities Association to allow high school football to resume this fall.

“We want to work with (CHSAA),” Polis said. “If their board moves forward and wants to propose a fall season for CHSAA football, we would be thrilled to work with them to make that happen for the districts that are ready to go. I think there’s some opportunity to have a fall season for those who are ready.”

So the CHSAA has no independent thought processes, and simply rubber-stamp what they're told to do? :eyeroll: That's some high-level blame assigning considering the President of the Board said:

"We understand that our school communities would like to return to all levels of normalcy," said Troy Baker, president of CHSAA's Board of Directors and athletic director at Buena Vista High School. "We listened to all parties and the voices of our membership resonated strongly to support the plan as approved in August. The plan aligns with the CHSAA mission. All students have an opportunity to play a season during the 2020-21 school year."
