We don't need government permission to do things safely. How about you get Grand Admiral Abbott to give executive orders lifting ALL previous orders. Cut your authoritarian footprint. Be the constitutionalists you've claimed to be all these years. Quit throwing words at everything.

Perhaps your time would be better spent working on a plan to safely open nursing homes and assisted living centers. It’s needed NOW, not next month or beyond. It’s possible to allow one screened visitor per day per resident into nursing homes, plus screened clergy every day. A loved one needs to be there to help watch out for them. You should be thinking of those who can’t help themselves rather than pro sports. Greg Abbott

No 25% is nuts. Our stands hold 102,000. I paid 7000 for our tickets. I want to set in my seat. In sept in 100 degrees there is no virus We need herd immunity lets move on. 🏈🏈🏈👍

What plan is there if any to open up our schools, opening day care centers so that parents can go back to work,what plan is there to help school districts accomplish their mission to educate our children, churches and sports should not be a number one priority, to get our economy going.

I'm more concerned about the reopening of nursing homes, hospitals and assisted living facilities. People have loved ones in these places and can't even go see them. These to me are more important than sporting facilities.

Our seniors are suffering from isolation in the nursing homes.

You have failed miserably to get all people to wear a mask, close down their business,and then you offer to pay the fine of a two time policy breaker, who tore her summons up on the courthouse steps. You have been all mouth. So maybe you should let others, with the education to back them, figure out how this state needs to proceed.

We need to simply open everything and stop being scared of the fallout from the media. People are hurting.

As long as our homeless Veteran's have a good place to stay/live. As long as there are no more unemployment. As long ad there are no hungry children----then open up the sports. Sports is on the very bottom of the list. Hope you have the state's priority's in order.

How about just open things up completely. Let those who want to go to events go, let those who are afraid to go stay home. Freedom of choice.

I have season tickets and don't want to be limited to how many games I can go to and where I can sit. Do you want to reimburse me for the licensing fee I paid big money for to retain the same seats year after year plus the cost of the tickets. Exit by sections, you apparently have never been to a game and sat in seats before. Did we do this in 2009 with the swine flu or every year with the flu. I think not.

Remember, he is willing to sacrifice grandma and grandpaw

Diane Sloan......Did I miss something? Did he call you personally by name and tell you that you HAD to get out? I don't think so!! So.....stay in your home and hibernate until there are no more viruses....anywhere. And the rest of us will get on with the business of living! And, just for the record, I'm 71 and sick and tired of this nonsense! And he is NOT a jerk for wanting people to get back to a semblance of normalcy! Get a grip!

I’m more interested in gaining regular access to my parents in assisted living

Dan, if you really want to get attention{and you're an attention 'ho, so we know you do} why don't you do something which will be remember forever, and lead by example? Sacrifice your life for the economy, just as you suggested grandparents do...and do it happily, as you suggested they do it? We're waiting.

Give us our Freedom back, allow us to take the risks like we always have, get out of the control business which leads to Communism. Let the public decide what is good for them, not the Government.

Shocks me how many of the loonie left come to Texas. I hear California has a street corner open..

You first Dan... lead by example and be willing to sacrifice yourself to help the economy

Awesome! We need to get back to normal .. while applying appropriate distancing or masks when you can’t. People are breaking .. I’ve only seen people suffer from the effects of shut down .. not the virus. The probability of being hospitalized or dying is extremely low. This shut down is not good for the many with underlying anxiety issues .. and some may have never known they had anxiety problems until now. Lets live!

Where is the consideration for the players and their families. Or are we still stuck in the gladiator mentality that the participants are there only for our entertainment; SLAVE LABOR

People just need to use COMMON SENSE. If they are not comfortable in crowds, don't go. Stay out of Kroger, wallyworld, lowes etc. Let people make the choice NOT GOVERNMENT.

as I've stated on similar pages, I couldn't care less about whether sports is ever played again. But the rest of the country needs to be completely open back up immediately with no strings before our country is destroyed beyond repair. And yes, I understand that the latter is the Democrats intent.

When you open the Capitol and other TX government facilities to public access, then you can speak to attendance of other public events.

Ah yes. Radio personality over science experts.

I guess Lt. Gov of Texas is a job without a lot of real responsibility if this is your priority right now.

Thank you, Dan!

Thank you, Dan!

Hi. I'm Covid.

You want to kill us! No protocol, no testing, no masks! Great! With the oil price how it is what ever the state gov does will not be enough!

91 people were exposed at Great Clips - Happy Now??

Dan, some people will have trouble returning to work if Dallas county has children going to school OF and on schedule, with more than one child!

Thank you

Good time to get in the funeral or cremation business

Business will be booming for the body bag manufacturers and funeral homes. 50,000+ sick in Texas and 1390 dead. Just the price of doing business. Gotta keep those corporate donations coming in, right?

Dan go get the virus and let us know how bad it is. Get us some first hand data instead of your useless rhetoric

Another way of saying ; we don’t give a shit if you live or die just go back to work we don’t care about how we manipulate the numbers because we aren’t going to do a damn thing to protect the public!

...and no mandatory masking. 😏

You get your money just the same

More bogus do nothing sit on your butts committees...how much of our tax money are you wasting on this....

It's about Time we're opening up. I didn't Survive Iraq to get smoked by The Flu with a 99% Survivability Rate. I'm NOT Scared and I HAVE Bills to pay Unless some of you PUSSIES wouldn't Mind paying them for Me.

Puppets.

Democrat fear mongers don't care about people, they want to CONTROL people! They also don't want the release of deaths from all causes since January 1, 2020 because that wouldn't fit their agenda!

U r not getting people back to work until the excessive unemployment benefits end

Good news?!? Talk about something utterly non-essential. We need to be smart, not impatient. Our Tea Party leadership has failed us in Texas.

It's not good news. It's news of the ridiculous. We don't need sports. We NEED a safe place to live and work.

How very “pro-life”. You don’t care how many Texans die, do you? Forget the pro athletes, what about the trainers and other workers?

All this hubbub over a less than .01 mortality rate. Geez you people are such fear mongers

Sports are not worth dying for!

Corona disappears after the election in November 😉

Do you Think more kids will die from corona or school shootings this year? Ignoring problems doesn't make them go away.

They are the least essential workers that I can think of

Let's just open up our state without restriction and allow individuals and businesses to figure out how to do it safely. This is not the place of the government and we the people want our freedom back

NCAA approves? What about your TV? Does your TV says it’s ok? I think not!

It's my right to get sick and get everyone else sick too. Lol

Wasn’t sure people still cared... It won’t change my life one way or the other...

No you wimpy scaredy cats are the failures!!!

Thanks lieutenant Dan! The rule still stands “Stay Home if Fear is your rule of law”! 😜

Fencing, swimming and curling?

Long past time! Get it done! OPEN THE WHOLE STATE with zero restrictions.

Do you understand how many people are employed by college and professional athletics?

How about we put the oil field workers back to work.

Only good news if the fans can be there and not have to just watch on TV.

First you want to sacrifice grandparents, now college athletes? You are a danger to humanity.

Why not Volleyball?

NCAA has no say so.

This is not good news.

Bring back common sense normalcy.

Too many Karen's and soy boys commenting in here, you stay home and live in fear...let everyone else take precautions and get back to living life.

Someone explain how can the USPS possibly take care of this many ballots and get them to the appropriate places on time. They have trouble getting mail delivered to the right house a lot of the time.

That's vote by mail for Republicans and Democrats and third party candidates. There is no significant voter fraud. There is or will be significant risk of spreading Covid19 at polling stations in November. If you are pro-life then you should put a higher value on preventing.a flu season surge in coronavirus deaths than using voter supression to win an election.

That would be assuming that all Democrats are good hearted and of good faith to uphold the constitution of the USA. Their leaders have proven for the last 3 years that they can not do that. If they can’t imagine all the cons and just wanna be considered that will make this the most abused election in history!

what is wrong with voting by mail - the gov't cover money was sent by mail - no problems there. It is only so that less people can vote. Some democracy you follow, sir.

Thank you. When we get too lazy to go vote, exercising one significant effort, then we have lost all vested interest in the country and are acting purely on self-interests.

Absentee voting requires photo ID, proof of residence to vote; Dems mail in vote requires none of this = FRAUD VOTER ID, IN PERSON, IS NECESSARY.

95,000 unregistered voters found in Texas in 2019-Washington Times. Guess that’s a good enough reason. 58,000 in 2018. Fact ck it before giving me your left wing dribble.

I voted by mail last election and got 2 ballots, shredded one but would the next person? I think it is an easy way to cheat.

How about traditional republicans asking to all eligible voters being allowed to exercise their constitutional right to vote.

NO VOTE BY MAIL! Too easy to commit fraud unless people vote in person with a valid American citizen ID. If people can go to crowded Walmart, grocery stores, etc, they can vote in person using social distancing and wearing a facemask.

Everybody is standing in line at Home Depot, to get a haircut, even Ross clothing stores for goodness sake.....people can vote at the polls....only way to insure who is actually voting

Vote by mail will save lives during the pandemic.... are you against saving lives ?

The only reason to discourage voting by mail is to prevent people from voting. If you have to reduce the number of people able to vote, you don't deserve to win.

We should totally be voting by mail (or online like I can renew my car tags and driver’s license.)

If everybody could vote Texas would be Blue. Keep up that voter suppression and jury-rigging, Dan!

Voter suppression! It's historically the Texas Republican way of winning!!

Did anyone miss the court case where the judge just plead guilty to stuffing these boxes with Democratic votes for cash? 🤔😂

I would LOVE to vote by mail - why are you discriminating against the elderly?

If you vote on the third, forth or second day of absentee voting you will likely see no one. Don't go on the first day because lots of people like to say they voted first. Mail in would take forever to verify all the dead people, multiple ballots, and non-citizens. Can you imagine if an American tried to vote in Mexico or get any benefits? You would be locked in a jail not like our country club jails or shot by the cartel corrupt policia.

So rather than fix known issues at the county clerk level...

Extend early voting and put booths at Walmart, grocery stores and home improvement stores - those places are covid-19 safe zones

It won’t kill me, but the immunocompromised I live with and love kinda could. That basic humanity of not wanting them to risk life

Lieutenant Dan is afraid that increased access to voting will lead to him being thrown out of office. Don't be duped.

How is it that the 2020 Census was done by mail, but voting cannot be? What is your rationale for this? One ballot per eligible voter per household. I see no problem. Is it because, then the republicans could no longer cheat? If there is voter fraud at the polls, then this should be safer. If you are prone to cheating, then you will find a way, no matter how.

Voter suppression is alive and well in Texas.
