[Pulp Fiction]

If school's take reasonable measures to minimize the risk to students and players, I seriously doubt that there is any serious liability risk from reopening schools and resuming team sports. If there were no legal precedents, then schools would be inundated with suits every fall by parents whose children caught the flu. I have a hard time believing that the courts would not have quashed lawsuits over students contracting diseases long ago.

Any jury that votes for big judgments against public schools should be chased out of town along with the plaintiff, and the ambulance chaser who handled the plaintiff's case. This is yet another example of why this nation desperately needs tort reform. Plaintiffs should not be made wealthy by the courts at the expense of the property owners and other taxpayers that fund public schools.

It seems like every school year.... within the first two weeks of school starting, just about every parent/guardian is posting on social media how little Johnny or little Susie has strep throat, an ear infection or some other type of illness.

How many times have school districts closed down because of the flu, but their sports teams continued to practice and play games?
How many times has school been canceled due to weather, but their sports teams had practice or played a game that night?
