Football isn't happening until the Spring

So brave of him, maybe he can get a job as President of a Big Ten university after he leaves office.
Players are at greater risk from PLAYING football than the virus.
I'll continue to put the pressure on him and every other politician. Winter sports is next.
His remarks today were seriously unbelievable. Talk about an IL politician that seriously seems to lack any regard or emphasize with struggling people right now. Especially kids. I hope he gets blasted for this, and rightfully so. Unbelievable comments.
No problem. Science is just a word now that has no meaning anymore just like “wait two more weeks”. We were all supposed to die after Memorial Day bbqs in May.
Illinois HS kids with offers to colleges out of state should seriously consider those first and when you commit to an out of state school, tell the Illinois schools it's because of Pritzker.
He will only be a 1 term guy.
And don’t expect that vaccine to arrive by then.
most likely, but he's done enough, along with the City of Chicago for my family to go elsewhere, sooner rather than later.
You mean arrive in Illinois by then. The vaccine is already completed with 200 Million doses ready to distribute to the states that want them.
It actually doesn't take that much to recall a Governor in IL
I hope to God he marches in the next South side Irish Parade
Shameful rhetoric by our “governor”. Just the arrogance that oozes from that statement is cringeworthy.
At this rate what makes anyone think Spring is happening let alone winter sports, its probably safer now than it will be coming off cold and flu season. This is horrendous
I think it ramps them up. Looking at other states Governors dug in their feet as pressure started grow then did an about face a few weeks later. Sadly I think IL is different and there will be no winter or spring sports.
I’ve said it before but I think this has more to do with JB doing completely the opposite of the president’s wishes. The prez has dropped a number of digs on Illinois, right or wrong. Maybe with a change in November there will be loosening up but he’s gonna rule his way for now.
Won't change until Feds bail the state out.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker doubles down, won’t allow high school football

Pritzker hates Jesus, America, horses and Elvis too ... even Tom Petty.
Is there ANY WAY to move forward without the Kings blessing? This is absurd. I hope there is a MASSIVE turnout on Saturday. JB is the worst. The absolute worst.
It also doesn’t help that we have 2 billionaires with huge egos, let alone their views.
IL has really lost any and all appeal to raise a family. I grew up here. Was raised on the North Side. While I love the people, this is a failed state. I do not see it getting better if we keep electing self serving morons. And, honestly, I don't say that lightly. Edgy, if that is out of line, I apologize. It's truly hard to comprehend the collateral damage that has been done by one person's self righteousness- mental illness, physical ailments, businesses shuttering their doors. This city (Chicago)/ state is self imploding This state has no future. That is something myself and my Family, and MANY, MANY others, are going to have to consider moving forward. For those who are so inclined to let the gov know how you feel:

I’m with you. I’m here as long as my mother and mother in law are here but gone when they’re gone.
Save this post here for later:
Illinois will be the first state owned and ran by a private equity firm.

Oui, merci beaucoup

They are 5th in debt. California, New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey lead the way. California and New York are more than double Illinois' debt
Governor is much more interested in power than freedom for the people.
How come politics has to enter every conversation now for everything we do in life?
Don't they know we just want them to get out of our way and let us live our lives.

This was a 75 yard Hail Mary pass. Did anyone think this ignorant billionaire would budge? I won’t get too much into the politics but we as a State suck at electing people. Everyone knew he would play the kids safety card and the million people in this state that care less about sports will back him by that statement alone.
The on going joke was we would have a vaccine by or shortly after the election and it appears to be going that way, so Spring will happen.
IHSA gave him control. Despite their recent efforts to right their wrong, they panicked and and passed the buck.Shame on them.

JB's "scientists and doctors" probably tell him football is inherently dangerous with or without Covid, so with the same logic and power trip he could just decide no more football in Illinois ever. If we are to maintain some semblance of a free society there needs to be some serious push back on this tyranny.
