Has died from Covid 19.

In the fricking World.

The closest you can get is a 21 year old coach who had fricking cancer, and a 28 year old fat arse Sumo Wrestler.

That's it. That's every single athlete or former athlete in the frickING WORLD under the age of 40 who has died.

Don't cower. Go after your AD's in mass email refusing to accept them cowering like liberal pussies. It's unacceptable.

There is zero reason to not play this season. For any sport. The players are not going to die. None have. On Earth.

Sumo wrestler
I’ve always wanted to see an NFL D lineman like Aaron Donald or Cameron Jordan against one of the top Sumo guys. I could be wrong but I can’t imagine the Sumo guy not getting completely dominated by the NFL linemen.

Ok. But what about the athletes kids, parents, uncle's, aunt's, cousins that that have potential underlying health issues they can spread it to? It's a bigger picture.I vote right. But I even had to realize the Republicans dropped the ball on this virus. Look at how the European countries are doing compared to America. Had we done what they did we would have a season no doubt.

You do realize the sumo wrestler that died weighed 245lbs, right?

He was short, but lets not act like he was any fatter than some offensive linemen out there.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

Shutting down sports isn't about the athletes, it's about the fatasses in the stands.

You ever watch a game between Tennessee and Mississippi State and look into the stands?

Good lord.

It's like everyone got to their seat riding a Rascal cart.

I appreciate this point, but it's not the only thing sports leagues are considering when trying to decide whether or not to play. There are other effects the virus has on people. I am very curious (as are the sports leagues I'm sure) if physically healthy young adults will have some of these same lingering effects.

‘Concerning increase’ of coronavirus-related inflammatory brain condition, study finds
Though the condition mostly affects children, researchers are seeing a rise in adults


Scientists warn of potential wave of brain damage linked to Covid-19

quote:

Among patients hospitalized for Covid-19 in Wuhan, China, more than a third experienced nervous system symptoms, including seizures and impaired consciousness. Earlier this month, French researchers reported that 84 percent of Covid patients who had been admitted to the I.C.U. experienced neurological problems, and that 33 percent continued to act confused and disoriented when they were discharged.

Some recovered patients report breathlessness, fatigue and body pain months after first becoming infected. Small-scale studies conducted in Hong Kong and Wuhan, China show that survivors grapple with poorer functioning in their lungs, heart and liver. And that may be the tip of the iceberg.
