[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope at least one college football conference decides to play. (I fear that decision not to play is being forced on conferences from “above”.)

I do not look forward for press conferences tomorrow justifying decision. (If I were a star college football player, I would hope that my school/conference lets me go pro immediately.)

It is possible to play travel soccer without traveling out of the DMV. Travel soccer can work around counties in the DMV that wish to ban games. [/quote]

Someone will. And for a few weeks, the Big Sky conference or whoever will be the hottest ticket in town.

Then someone will get sick with covid. Then multiple someones. It’s nearly a mathematic certainty, with the probability enhanced by the fact that American football coaches are probably the LEAST inclined to follow competent medical advice (play through the pain, son!)

Then someone will die. Maybe, again, several someones. Probably more likely to be a coach, as they’re older and some look like they’ve got some risk factors going on. Maybe, unfortunately, players. And when it’s over we’ll count the cost in lives so that ghouls like you can sit on the couch and stuff your face with potato chips while feeling like a real winner.[/quote]

There are simply immense regional and cultural differences among people in this country.  Your assumption is that if these kids don't play football, they'll be fine, or materially better than if they do, and that is just BS.  I am all for not having the season but this is tripe you are spinning.  All of these players at LSU and Clemson got sick before day one of practice.  They are gonna get sick.  They know what they are doing and they will do it anyway.  Whether at home, at bbqs, at summer parties, at school or football.  You don't understand people outside bubble-urbia.  They are comfortable with risks that you are not.[/quote]
