Snidely Whiplash & August West adding to the obesity epidemic by killing sports. Do you know these athletes must have a minimum GPA to participate? My unmotivated Senior almost got kicked off a team because we was laxing in one class, that got him going like nothing else.

Is this just more attempts by conservatives to kill public schools?

@ August West:
Wisdom pure wisdom thanks.
Why are local conservative voices on Talk Radio or Publishers of conservative local newspapers not shouting August West’s wisdom from the rooftops?
Not a peep from local conservstives, could have heard a pin drop, nothing, nada.
Worst case scenario to follow August’s advice is still great.
Lets assume we cancel all sports and other extra activities – AND – core reading, math, ect… does not improve. Hey we the parents, tax payers, and citizens just saved millions of dollars in property tax used to fund those sports and extra activities!!!
I see all good and zero bad in such a plan and in your heart you see it too. At least give the idea some Air Time and some Press Time to stirr up the local school board. That in itself is worth you guys making the effort to stop sleeping on this obvious cure to our failing local school system.
August and I just have tiny soft voices compared to you guys who can actually help Leon County’s kids. Please rethink your desire to stand on the sidelines and not get involved.
There boys, I got both of you now, because there is no way either of you will not be motivated into getting into the game by my clever sports analogy of standing on the sidelines.
Dont worry August this will work 100% wink wink 100%

LCS will be adding metal detectors to all varsity football games starting this Friday. That’s great, NOW, will you also put them in the Schools?

It’s not just Pensacola Street that has Crime Problems, work on ALL of the Crime.

Florida’s insurance claims have come out to nearly $170 million and a total of 18,000 insurance claims is not that bad, it averages $9,445 per Claim.

There shouldn’t be ANY football games until a super majority of students are able to read at their assigned grade level. Right now, the majority of Leon County students are functionally illiterate. Football is a luxury for students that can read and a distraction for those that can’t.

If we are worried about guns at football games maybe we shouldn’t have the football game?

The Greyhound and City entanglement wreaks of a sweetheart deal, poor planning, misuse of taxpayer dollars, and a $60,000 yearly revenue source is insufficient and a number pulled out of a hat that makes no sense. The cost of liability insurance for the city alone is cost prohibitive. Some investigating reporting please.

Commissioner Caban requesting a crime analysis, wow, if that isn’t an answer to solve the crime problem, not! Unfortunately another chamberbot / chamberbought.
