So, you heard about Wheeling Park, John Marshall, and Wheeling Central Catholic not being about to play their first-round postseason football games this weekend, and you didn’t care, right?
Maybe these five comparisons concerning you and your family will help you understand:
- If your kid really screwed up an important line during a play and the final performance the next evening is canceled because of a power outage.
- When you asked your high school crush to go on a date and they said no.
- If your softball or baseball player has a no-hitter with one out remaining in the game but a severe thunderstorm suddenly hit and stopped and canceled the game.
- If you are going to a fancy dance and you pay $120 to get your hair styled and then hate it when you get home.
- Remember the scene in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation when the turkey was served?
Yeah, that’s it to a tee.
Tough to chew on for sure, and impossible to digest since conditioning all summer and dealing with the masks, the positive cases with teammates and coaches, the county colors, and the regular rigors involved with playing a game like football.
It’s been stolen from them by a germ too many people refuse to avoid.
