You can have heart inflammation FROM THE COMMON COLD.

The BULLCRAP German study that all of these articles reference had subjects whose average age was 49 and they did not have previous images or studies of their hearts to compare.

Politicize the weather? Wasn't it Trump who used his sharpee to falsify a weather chart?


No. The reality of that situation is that trump used a marker to show people a possible path of the hurricane that was stated to him by meteorologists. The media took that clip, removed all context of it to make it look like something that it wasn’t in order to criticize him, as they always do. And folks like you clap like seals to validate your shitty viewpoint.

Oh, and for the record, after the media got done laughing at trump, the hurricane moved along the path that trump drew.

this line in the middle of the article

quote:
He acknowledges that the cases in athletes with COVID-related heart impacts are very small. Among professional, college and youth league athletes, he’s seen no more than a dozen in the US.


So way less than the extremely small group of amateur athletes that die on the court and field each year from rare genetic heart conditions, heat strokes, and aneurisms? Way way less.

I would wager to say Way more than than 12 die each year in car accidents on the way to the gym or stadium to play sports so just go ahead and cancel everything, sports, work, life in general if that’s going to be the threshold for risk now.

I’ve got it! Let’s just have the whole world back to being nomadic herders because Covid. That way we can ensure almost NO more interaction with anyone on the plant except our small tribe of 50 or less— it’s tailor made for social distancing guidelines and everything. It would also solve the lefts man- made global warming problem as well so it’s a 2 for 1.

Nah. All those recruitable athletes still have to play somewhere. The NFL isn't gonna change its rules on 3 years removed from high school so somewhere, somehow, amateur/semi pro/minor league football will be played and we will all gladly watch.

I don't have much of an interest in watching unless it's affiliated with
a school or maybe a geographic region.

HBCU's and schools like Georgia Southern
and Southern Miss could become powerhouses though.

Myocarditis is not unique to COVID. It’s long been known that viral infections can cause myocarditis in a small number of patients. The fact that they’re playing this up is so incredibly frustrating. Particularly how they lead with a doom headline and bury the actual data in the meat of the article knowing probably half the audience won’t even read the whole thing.

No tears from me, we should move on anyway since most players, coaches and schools are onboard with the far left agenda

No they aren't... unless you're under the false pretense football and basketball cover "most players" in college athletics.

I've been watching for over 40 years and games were more interesting when there was less money, imo. We love talking past nostalgia, and some of that is probably due to us older guys reminiscing, but I think some is also because it was more entertaining back then.

It's always been entertaining to me.The game has certainly changed with the vertical passing game.

There's no other sport like it.

Boom

When I mentioned similar info from that SI Article, back in Apr & May, the Trumpf-tards kept spouting out percentages and young folks are immune

Now we see the real reason these Athletes are opting out, now the Trumpf-tards with their idiot Deion Sanders tweets and Junk Science can eat crow with their know-it-all Trumpf wannabe asses
