Football isn’t going to happen because college students are idiots

That you Kamala?

Using # of cases as the metric is going to being this whole thing crashing down.

You keep seeing tweets and stories about # of students required to quarantine.

Nobody says how many are sick versus asymptomatic.

If this was that big of a deal, they would have told students not to come to campus

Local highschool had to go virtual because over 1/4 of their students had to isolate. Headline was “Over 150 students sent home to quarantine”

Facts of the matter? Students went to a party for the graduated seniors hosted by the now seniors. 10+ of the graduated seniors tested positive so everyone around them and then everyone around those had to isolate. To my knowledge, none of the current students tested positive.

When will the goalposts ever stop moving? So now the number of people going into bars in your town affects whether your football team plays?

If the people in power, don’t start taking a hard stance and dealing with the consequences of their decisions no matter what we will never get back to a semblance of normal life. Ever. The virus will be here for the rest of time.

There will be outbreaks every year from now on, do we continually go through the outrage of people getting together to enjoy their lives from here to the rest of time?

So fricking tired of this. If you want to play football Byrne, nut up and quit being outraged at people going to bars.

Yea, I'm pretty much past caring at this point. Playing would be cool, but whatever. This whole soap opera sucks.

MLB has figured out how to navigate through the bumps of all of this and realized that just having games and doing creative things to get those games in is important - as long as I have that to watch through late October I'll survive.

Greg McElroy has been killing it. Every morning he call this nonsense out for what it is, partisan political bullshite.

As if it wasn't obvious that people were gonna start testing positive once kids got to campus. It's just another example of either complete hypocrisy or extreme stupidity of our elected leaders.
All this concern expressed for 100 football players on each campus because of "interactions with the student body" yet no concern for the thousands of "ordinary" students and their interactions with the student body? It's so obviously see through. Everyone wants to grab their share of the money pie while throwing another group under the bus to "rationalize" each's reasoning. At a certain level it's not even politics. It's just each group of money hungry people "making concessions" in order to get their piece of the pie. The trickle down effect of following the government's lead. Eventually every group has been lobbied against that it's either open all of it up or shut it all down. There's no "victims" left to concede.
I'm for the approach of using the "experts" own words against them. Go with the assumption that covid isn't going anywhere. Adjust and move forward with as normal an existence as possible. Are they gonna keep the country shut down for eternity and destroy our economy even further than already? When taxpayers have no more money to give who's money is the government gonna use to "re-stimulate" the economy? Is a little virus with less than half a percent fatality rate really worth another depression or worse, complete failure of our economy? It doesn't matter who the president is if we are cowering to fricking China in a few years because our citizens have no money. Can't let our own leaders turn our country into anything less than the bully we are. No matter what side of the political aisle you're on.
