🏈 It's sad when your high school game has to be canceled due to lack of local police!

Birmingham City Schools says Thursday's game between Carver and Pleasant Grove has been cancelled "due to the lack of availability for the usual coverage by local police."

It's sad when your high school game has to be cancel!

It doesn’t say, or I didn’t see it, but guessing it was supposed to be at Lawson Field.

What kinda horse shit is that....
No auxiliary police force available?

Actually never remember seeing but one police car at high school games growingup...or even around here... what crap

 

[alabama mike]

When I was AD, we went through the county sheriff’s office. This is extra work they pick up outside of their regular duties. If games are not picked up then you do not have officers. Not sure how B’ham does it but probably city police since it’s in the city.

Part of this is because of the Parker vs Ramsey game last week at Legion Field. The Stop the Violence game (no shit).
They had 15-20 fights in the stadium. One parent was pissed because his 10 year old was "in danger". They dropped the 10 year old off at the game & then the "parents" went to get something to eat.
Birmingham City Schools issued new rules this week.
No one under 18 admitted without a parent with valid id.
Must stay seated with the parent the entire time.
Cannot gather near fence, entrance or exits.

I expect attendance to be lighter this week lol!

You can't get into the B'ham HS games now without a "guardian". That rule has even spread to Tuscaloosa in some cases. Pretty sad what it's become.

But we behaved mostly. Maybe a fight here or there but we didn't act ignorant.

LOL, first real fight I ever got in with a kid was at my brother’s HS game when I was in the 6th grade. But no weapons and no cops. The way it was supposed to be. And he and I never had an issue again (although he was a bit weird).

Perfect timing with Woodfin being reelected

I was never in a fight. But at football game saw a lot of them.

Yeah, but I like @TerryP anyway….

I take offense.

Let me explain. "Never get outworked by a crackhead" is a foundational principle here. Suggesting "a bit weird" means I have work to do.

What defines a real fight in sixth grade? Blood does define a few things around then.

Fists flying (and landing), not just some grappling and headlock posturing like most “fights” at that age.

Wonder if he's in the Auburn forum telling this story and how weird you are?
