You understand that obesity is the #2 comorbidity for COVID-19, right? You understand that offensive linemen in football aren't quite the same as soccer or basketball players, too, yes?

There'll be at least one who has a tough go of it. It's inevitable. Of course, we can also argue that they already know this and are accepting that possibility.

There are 30,600,000 americans aged 18-24 in the US, and the obesity rate is 40% in this age group

Currently, through 6 months of this pandemic, there are 150 deaths in that aged group, or 1 in every 200,000


I think science is on the side of these 18-24 year old college football players
