re: Alright, season or no?

Maybe they are asymptomatic, but are they allowed to play? If your kid is on the opposing team, do you want to let them play against a team that is full of infected players? One of the most dangerous co-morbidities with COVID is obesity. We say these kids are elite athletes and most are, but what if you have a player like Ish last year, or Mount Cody a few years back that aren't svelte and aren't exactly the picture of cut athlete? Do you allow them to potentially risk their health or even their life? The chance still isn't great, but it's a KNOWN risk. Some will say accidents happen in college football all the time and occassionally someone gets severely injured. That's true, but it's also random, sheer chance. This is a known risk with a known source, etc, that is completely preventable in the confines of a football game. Who is taking the responsibility for that? I'm just playing Devil's Advocate here. These issues will have to be addressed before anybody takes the field and they are hard issues to deal with.

Bars and restaurants are the absolute worst place to reopen. It sucks, but think about it: you are in a confined space with strangers, AC is circulating the air (and droplets), some are doing better with social distancing than others, same with other precautions. Some places are following all the guidelines and making everything disposable and some aren't. Alcohol impairs judgement and inhibitions, so maybe you aren't as concerned that someone is in your personal space, and worst of all, you can't eat or drink with a mask on. It's the perfect storm for community spread. Even if you are sitting in the stands for a football game, you can wear a mask. It won't be pleasant in Alabama in September, but it's not impossible. Maybe all games in September and October should be at night, at least in the south.
