Your comments are sooo true! To all the parents who have replied to this blog stating that anyone who protests about practice being held in intense heat is a whimp (or words to that effect): I really hope your adult child doesn't have heat stroke and suffer brain damage. Perhaps then you would be wishing you had listened to those who totally understand the dangers of heatstroke, etc. Get real, folks! As the person who wrote as "java1" states: This is high school football. Which basically equals out to the fact that "y'all" have a choice=To take a horrible risk or not.
