College Fall 2020

[Unregistered]

That's crap. No reason to cancel fall sports at this point other than "abundance of caution"

And that is exactly what there will be... an abundance of caution.

maybe--but its possible that college football with drag all the other sports back into action. too much money at stake--especially down south. and once they allow football, maybe real football and other sports will follow

Nobody in the stands, but tv revenue might go up.
Long time till seats fill up...but some season tickets should finally be available

All with Pre existing conditions

2 with autism, 1 with diabetes. But ok, athletes would never have asthma, cystic fibrosis diabetes or any other preexisting conditions. Don’t let facts get in the way of your agenda.

I am guessing there are a lot of very highly paid people that are trying to figure all of this out in the sports context. I mean really, I've seen articles about how they will repurpose planes to make them covid-safe, at least safe enough to fly.

Just throwing it our there, but they can do all sorts of things to get people into the stands and the games on track:

-make any fan who walks into the stadium sign a document waiving any lawsuit against the team, city, state, etc.

-Give players the same option. If they play they sign a waiver. Like kids do to play soccer.

-They can't play unless they're tested.

-No practice unless tested.

-Limit the amount of seating.

-Designate eating areas.

Some of these ideas may not work. Just saying that too much $ is at stake for team owners to just be waiting around for this to go away. I'm not as resigned as others I guess.

These things will happen, and you will see other creative monetization schemes borrowing from eSports

Nope. You and others keep citing pre-existing conditions as if that somehow doesn't count. Oh well, the only ones who die have pre-existing conditions so they don't count.

Every life counts. It appears to be true that those with pre existing conditions are more prone to have to be hospitalized. There isn’t any agenda involved. The more we learn, know and accept, the easier it will be to understand the scope of what we are dealing with.

I could give a crap about politics , narratives and agenda. I want kids and people playing sports again.

Testing and tracing

It all hinges on testing and contact tracing. Then we can successfully manage a controlled opening up. South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, Denmark and others took the virus seriously and their federal governments managed testing and tracing. Wish we hadn’t wasted 6 weeks thinking it was a hoax and playing golf.

And highly paid means what in this equation?
They’re smarter than the rest of us?
We pay sports and entertainment folk far too much
Time for a reckoning

There may never be a concert or festival again
Not even sure about sports
And who’s going to watch the Pats now?
Maybe Kraft is maneuvering to get out of football.
We know the “rub and tug” business is disappearing

Moving the goalposts, and placing blame. #useless

The highly paid means people who are focusing all of their energy with large teams to solve the critical problem of their business and adjust their business accordingly to address this disaster. Come on. We pay sports and entertainment folk what our democratic society can bear based on supply and demand. The demand will be out of control when society reopens.

You wouldn't want to blame placed on Donnie if you were a die hard, so I get that republicans just never (Beghazi?) place blame. But those goal posts were set by Fauci. He established them

This is not about your obsession with blaming DJT. It is about how we reopen our country, and get people back to work. Agree that contact tracing is part of the solution along with consumer-scale testing. The question is do we have the time to wait for it to be perfect?

question for all of us: Would you move out of your house, ask your daughter to change high schools, and move the family into a rental in a lesser town in order to save 5 unnamed grandparents (75 and older) of a randomly selected set of neighbors who live at least 3 streets away? Your neighbors, they get to stay in their house, and get to keep granny a few more years, but you need to move out, give and change your daughters HS.

If your willing to do that #Respect. I am not, and I can't ask morally ask others to make that choice.

LOL. What if the grandparents re 65-75? Your own daughter wouldn't want you to let her grandparents (or parents) die. 90% of American families would move. Easier to talk about in the sterile abstract. Put an face, a name, a life, a legacy, and all the things they did for you in living color and let's see how people choose.
