The Nebraska School Activities Association's decision to proceed with the girls high school state basketball tournament as scheduled was not a popular one, judging by comments on a Lincoln Journal Star story posted on the newspaper's website.Among the comments:
"Yet again the NSAA makes a decision that the lives of students are less important than the scheduling of a tournament. These people should be ashamed and should never be put in a position to make decisions that could affect people's lives."
"Schools are closed because it is bad out, so let's put the kids in more danger and continue with the b-ball games. A real smart decision. Who is going to be blamed if someone gets killed? I would love to be the lawyer for that one."
"The NSAA is just like corporate America today. Sit in their offices making stupid decisions. They have no common sense."
KETV.com is also inviting viewers and readers to chime in on the Omaha Westside girls basketball team's plight Thursday. School officials decided to drive to Lincoln Thursday morning, rather than leave for the tournament and stay overnight Wednesday.
