  • As someone who fled Florida a month ago after living my whole life there, my immediate thought isn’t covid, my immediate thought is “Playing football in Florida in September is insanely fucking dangerous”

    Minors should not be allowed to play football. If it’s going to be allowed, flag football only. In Florida, any outdoor sports cannot be allowed between April and October. Playing football outside in September is fucking insane, and it’s no fucking wonder kids are dropping dead.

    It’s the heat. It’s climate change. Honestly playing outdoor sports in September in Florida was stupid before climate change, but now it’s dangerous insanity. I guarantee you this kid died of heat stroke.

    September is not fall in Florida. Florida doesn’t have fall, it has a hot wet season from April to October, and a mild dry season from November to March. September is solidly still the summer. It is in the 90s nearly every day, with the heat index regularly hitting 110.
