That was part of the point I was making using obamacare as an example. If I personally thought what was happening was going to hurt someone, I wouldn't be so passive about it. (delaying obamacare with the stroke of his pen actually is a good thing, they can delay it for 100 years, and I won't care)
I agree, if it was something that would hurt someone, I would be raising hell. But let's be honest, I don't see anyone trying hurt anyone here. If District 2 decided to give all of our kids 3 lbs allowance, or something like that, obviously, this gives an advantage to a select group.
I don't have my head in the sand, I know it could have been handled better. Sounds like it was attempted, but tabled, for an excuse that didn't make sense. (wanted to get rid of subs for HS, but someone said we can't do that because our numbers are going to be way up this year because USA wrestling offered the $300 flat fee all you can eat USA card buffet for HS teams....)
I'm actually a little jealous that this happened this year, a year after one of my sons could have been with Chief in Colorado.........he and I have had some spirited discussions about taking some of our best kids to Colorado instead of them being at Kids State with the little guys that look up to them..
ANyway, I haven't lost any sleep over it. But make it against the rules for us to tailgate in the parking lot at Topeka, and I'll come unglued!!
I know your head isn't in the sand! The Qualifing series is supposed to be consistent and uniform with each other, even though the District officials have the say of how their subs, and Districts are held, ran, qualifiers are moved forward. Then you have this season. It wasn't handled correctly. I'm sure you are jealous and you should be, your family had to make a decision Colorado or Kansas State Championships, it is great they can do both this season. This could have been voted on by the State body last Nov. (or even before that) not by district reps just before subs. But this is what they decided and one of the excuses was to save parents money by not having to qualify at subs. Excuses and BS, I will tell you what saves money, no I won't nobody wants them. We start our tailgating at subs and then districts. We do this to same money on dining, and with almost everyone loving split sessions, and Friday night weigh ins ONLY, my parents that are lucky enough to drive 120 miles to get to Qualifiers also get to purchase a hotel room, just to get to sleep in untill 11. They are so lucky:) It's not the USA card fees keeping the HS wrestlers out of the room after HS season, it mental, and physical. The kids are tired and want to be done, whoever thought of the $300 USA cards and told us it would bring more kids. Well I will just say "They tried". I bet if the USA cards where free we wouldn't see a 5% increase in HS wrestlers. Cutting subs won't get many more either. My suggestion for you is have another son and he will be able to attend both.
