His support for Trump hounded him at all three debates before the March primary.

And Schiff — who led in pre-election polls — knew that facing the Republican Garvey would be a much easier lift than a runoff against another Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff then spent millions of dollars on television ads highlighting Garvey’s votes for Trump and claimed that Garvey was “too conservative for California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ads helped raise his profile among Republicans, elevating Garvey over other GOP candidates on the primary ballot. Porter argued that the ads actually helped consolidate Republican votes for Garvey, a view widely shared by campaign professionals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it worked, perhaps even better than Schiff could have imagined.

But because of the many parties folks will be attending on Sunday, you might want to avoid the grocery store that morning and possibly on Saturday, too — unless you want to compete with all those hosts and guests doing last-minute party planning.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>How long will the Super Bowl last, roughly?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A 2017 analysis from \u003cem>The Verge\u003c/em> found that in previous years, \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/4/14403598/how-long-is-the-super-bowl\">the average length of the Super Bowl was just under four hours.\u003c/a> This \u003cem>could \u003c/em>mean you get until around 7:30 p.m. to enjoy the lack of crowds … or even shorter. Or even longer. There’s no way to predict the exact length of the game, but it’s virtually certain that you’ll get at least three hours of play — and you can pretty safely plan on having until 6:30 p.m. to revel in a crowd-free Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/san-francisco\">Sunset on Sunday — in San Francisco at least — is forecast to be 5:44 p.m\u003c/a>., meaning your precious Super Bowl window of (hopeful) solitude could also encompass a hike — more on that below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you plan to take a drive that Sunday, you may wish to use your phone to keep a light eye on how the game is progressing.

The bill still has a long way to go in the state Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dozens of young athletes and their parents lined up in football jerseys to oppose the bill at a hearing last Wednesday. Groups, including the California Coalition of Save Youth Football, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/saveyouthfootballcalifornia/\">whose private Facebook group has nearly 7,000 members\u003c/a>, have promised to keep up the pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento Sheriff and former State Assemblymember, Jim Cooper, testified in opposition to the bill and pointed out that the sport keeps kids off the street, out of gangs and offers immeasurable life lessons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For some adolescents, youth tackle football serves as their sole source of structure, offering positive role models and guiding them toward a positive and productive path,” Cooper said. “… I understand the pivotal role youth activities play in keeping children away from the streets and from gangs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, the issue has taken on a partisan tone. A representative for Moms for Liberty, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/moms-for-liberty-2024-election-republican-candidates-f46500e0e17761a7e6a3c02b61a3d229\">an influential group among conservatives\u003c/a> known for seeking to ban textbooks that reference gender identity and academic discussions about systemic racism, was among those who testified in opposition last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Huddle up California. Protect your parental rights. Stand up to Big Government,” the California Youth Football Alliance \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/cayfalliance/posts/pfbid032xkjjzxSKCKaisrDnbyc2sak9bVVNm9h5YFaaQxFCUWZTiCfFWL83ejqT3XHACfEl\">wrote on its Facebook page earlier this month\u003c/a>, urging followers to contact McCarty’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Youth tackle football fans cite race, community ties\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>But youth tackle football is different from other parental rights debates that are more easily framed as a Republican-Democrat dichotomy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they weigh the bill, liberal lawmakers will consider more arguments from the likes of Sheriff Cooper, a Black former Democratic Assemblymember from Elk Grove, who worries that banning youth tackle football would take away an outlet for young children in Black communities who might otherwise find their way into trouble.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘If we ban this sport, we take away the opportunity and many opportunities from children to grow – not only as an athlete — but as a self-actualized adult who knows when they have the capabilities to overcome an obstacle and achieve success further.’","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","citation":"Assemblymember Tom Lackey","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>“Notably, Black male children engage in youth tackle football at higher rates than any other race,” Cooper told the committee last week in his sheriff’s uniform. “To my knowledge, there’s been no pressure to limit participation in lacrosse, soccer or ice hockey, which all have concussion rates similar to youth tackle football but are prevalent in more affluent and exclusive communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers, he said, have already passed legislation \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/08/01/california-law-to-limit-youth-football-practices/\">he authored in 2019 \u003c/a>that limited full-contact youth football practices to no more than 30 minutes per day, two days a week. That bill \u003ca href=\"https://www.cayfa.org/blog\">had support from the California Youth Football Alliance\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers also will have to weigh their own experiences with the sport. Assemblymember Tom Lackey, one of the Republicans on the sports and tourism committee, told his colleagues last week that he’s “participated in flag football and … participated in tackle football. They’re different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we ban this sport, we take away the opportunity and many opportunities from children to grow – not only as an athlete — but as a self-actualized adult who knows when they have the capabilities to overcome an obstacle and achieve success further,” said Lackey, a former California Highway Patrol sergeant from Palmdale. “We take away a lifelong passion for the love of the game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Experts warn of dangers of tackling\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>McCarty, the bill’s author and a former Pop Warner youth football player himself said wanting to restrict young kids from tackling each other won’t negate their love for football, a sport that he said has been part of his family for as long as he can remember.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not anti-football. I love football,” McCarty said. “Two things can be true. You can love football and love our kids and try to protect our kids at the same time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The experts McCarty brought in to testify in support of his bill included pediatric neurologist Dr. Stella Legarda, president of the California Neurology Society, which sponsored the bill. The group spent $17,983 on lobbying last year on this bill and others, \u003ca href=\"https://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Lobbying/Employers/Detail.aspx?id=1354175&view=activity\">according to the latest reports filed with the California Secretary of State.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed out that the NFL has been having its players shed their pads and helmets to play flag football in its signature exhibition game, the Pro Bowl. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘I’m not anti-football.

He couldn’t imagine taking those sorts of hits at the speeds the players were moving, now, as a 35-year-old man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valencia said young kids can play flag football and still learn the skills they’ll need to play tackle football when they’re older — without risking brain damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Drills, becoming more athletic, agility, speed, that makes you a better football player,” he said. “But tackling?
