The state of Maine cancels spring sports for the 2021 school year

Maine cancels all high school spring sports for  2021
Heston Curry  4/9/2020
As coronavirus looms, the state of Maine in a very dumb and stupid move has decided to cancel spring sports for 2021.  To me, this is a big loss to this coronavirus.  And while I understand in many ways that this might be necessary, I still find it a very dumb and stupid move on behalf of the school board of Maine.  To me seeing this really frightens me because as a 17 year old high school football player in Florida entering my senior year next year,  I am worried that Florida is going to follow suite and react just as recklessly.  It is really going to suck for the seniors going into next school year knowing that they have no chance at an athletic scholarship due to the cancellation of spring sports.  I personally see this as a total overreaction and a complete shame that a state would react like this.  Maine is so far the first state to have such an extreme reaction like this which could cause other states to follow suite.  I really hope it does not come to loosing possibly my last year I will ever play football if I go to a college that does have football and possibly my only chance I have left to play high school football.  I really hope it does not come to completely cancelling football but how I see it is what am I going to do about it.  Anyways, this was more of a personal blog but you are reading this, thank you for your understanding.

A NFL draft unlike any other

A Draft unlike any other... What would have been a grand spectacle in Las Vegas with the iconic Bellagio fountains in what would have been a fantastic backdrop for the 2020 draft to all the sudden becoming an unusual and unprecedented draft where the players stay at home in quarantine as they hear their names being called at home.  There will be no walking on a stage, no hugging the commissioner, no crowd, and no watch parties for any of the teams in this years draft.  This years draft in just about every way possible is different from any other NFL Draft, in times where we have to be resilient and work together as a race to get through these tough times we have been going through for the past month.  But even as all of this chaos happens throughout our planet, there is nothing about this draft that will change it from any other, the stage will be as big as ever, the stakes are still high as always, and when the names are called, the players will still get that once ...

Why I disagree with the NIL rule

  As a lot of people know, the NCAA recently passed a rule stating that players will be allowed to profit off their name and likeliness.  To most people, this is a good thing, a big deal, finally NCAA athletes will be able to profit off of their names and make extra money for college things like that.  Me, as someone who was a high school athlete and has been a college football fan my whole life, as someone going to college,  I think this is wrong.  To me, selling your name and letting athletes make money.  In a lot of ways, I think it ruins the sport, because after all, college sports are not about the money and glory things like that.  Thats what pro sports are supposed to do.  College sports are supposed to be about passion, not about pay, or having a job, things like that.  In my opinion, college athletes are paid in scholarships and college aid, and how players do in and on the field to earn that money.  With the NIL ruling, college...

MLB talks about possible solution to have a season

Major League Baseball might give use something to watch after all By: Heston Curry 4/8/2020 After recent talks, major league baseball officials have had talks on a possible solution accepted by high ranking health officials to play at least part of the season. Major League Baseball has come up with a possible solution to play at least part of the major league baseball season in a undisclosed stadiums without fans in Arizona.  The season if it does happen will be a shorter season with possibly a 14 team expanded playoff . While there is still plenty of uncertainty on how this solution will play out, there is still hope that this could be the first step to establishing at least some sort of normalcy in these times and most importantly, give me at least something to write about for the first time in weeks. Now back on topic, the solution is not quite 100 percent yet, but how it would work is all major league baseball teams will travel to Arizona t...
