People need to wrap their heads around it.

We won't see high school, college, or professional football until Fall 2021 at the earliest.

Fucking deal with it.

better to lose a year than a bunch of lives.

If MLB is having problems, as reported recently, then close-contact sports like football will be worse.

...they're being delusional. Within a relatively few days, the sheer absurdity of what they're doing is going to become obvious.

Football is simply too much. Literally every play starts with players breathing into each others faces, and most end that way, too. Every game's a super spreading event.

It's not happening.

Plus trump is going to make it a political and campaign issue just watch.

There will of course be those who will demand that football be played and those folks will come down on the side of Trump (but they already do on everything else), but then there will be everyone else who will look at reality and where we are with the virus and then completely get why football isn't being played.

And once again, Trump will only be screaming to a small minority of the population that's already in his pocket - as he's been doing with the protests and Covid.

In essence, just another stupid fight to have, especially when his re-election prospects are so dim and getting dimmer.

But with all that money at stake, they are sure gonna try.

It's going to be a long winter.

this year than ability.

The scores will be all over the place, depending on which star players are sick.

Plus, there will be cases of coaches and players ignoring early symptoms, and that might lead to legal setbacks......

This is all so upsetting because I want to see both sets of Tigers play again.

GEAUX TIGERS!

it as a good thing:




'Herd immunity', Baby!

'Nuf said........ .........

Boomer Esiason, former NFL quarterback and current radio host, suggested that several of the major college football programs had intentionally exposed their players to covid this summer so they could claim immunity as a hedge against calls to cancel the season. I have no idea if he based that on facts known to him or he is just a radio blowhard, but several of the SEC teams have a large number of positives and there is a lot of money at stake.

likely had a trusted source.

I can see college coaches and Administrators concluding that young, apparently healthy jocks could weather this and build herd immunity. But we now know from Sweden, Italy and Spain that herd immunity is a mirage, and that even mildly sick people that recover do so with potentially permanent internal organ damage.

but not for long. Schools? Way back when I went to high school everyone jammed the halls
between classes, walking to their next class. When one teacher or student tests positive, they'll have
to close the entire place up. It's too bad for parents and kids, but the other option is more cases.
Will teachers rebel? I just don't think it's going to have a good outcome.
