Re: Being Proactive About Paper Airplanes on Einstein
Personally I'm scared one of my kids will get hurt by one of these things. I've seen kids and adults, literally all ages, fold paper into sharp points and throw it as hard as they physically can. Having known more than one person to get hit in the eye with one how is this still a thing and how someone hasn't gotten severely injured... I recommend to my kids to wear safety glasses in the stands during this time, tho who wants to when you shouldn't need to.
As an alum, this is the most embarrassing part of Champs. Please walk in the aisles of the lower bowl prior to Einstein and walk on the actual concrete. It's impossible. You are only walking on trash.
As someone who had the honor to be on the field during Einstein last year. How rediculous is it that we have trash being thrown into our robot during the break. Why do I need to have my drivers adjust the placing of a stack because someone thought it'd be fun to throw trash onto the field during play! Why does Dean have to pause his speach because someone threw a plane onto the stage?? I just don't understand how this is a thing. It's just disrespectful. I never remember more than a handful of planes thrown in Atlanta in the 6 years I attended. I could have remembered wrong, but I don't remember it ever being what it is in St Louis.
