This is NOT a joke...
A bill has been presented to the VA legislation, that if passed would make it illegal to play ANY outdoor sport on any athletic field between the hours of 6:00 pm - 8:00 am Monday thru Saturdays and no games on Sundays at all if any house is within 65 yards of the field. If there are houses within 65 yards, the ENTIRE neighborhood must agree to allow games, one house not agreeing and games are gone.
This would be a STATEWIDE law to include pro fields, college fields, HS fields and local league fields.
Please review the bill, pass this info around to any and all your outdoor sports friends (Football, s****r, lacrosse, track and field, tennis, everything and any sport played outside) and have them spread the word and write their congressman on how they feel about this.
Just another way to get kids off the fields and on the streets, hanging out on the corners....Unbelievable.
Here is the legislative link
