The lack of whistles in football is so stupid. Might be even dumber than virtual fans.

Imagine being such a limp dicked panty waist so afraid of COVID that you think electronic whistles is a good idea.

Apparently I haven’t been paying attention because I didn’t even know this was a thing.

Let's play along and assume that whistles can be a COVID super spreader.

Do you honestly believe any of the athletes on the field should worry about getting COVID? Survival rates for COVID among that age group are basically 100%. Hell even hopsitalization rates are pretty much 0.

If player can get covid tests so should refs. If you’re positive you can’t ref. If you’re negative you can use an actual whistle. This is so stupid.

It’s like some people don’t realize we are living in a global worldwide pandemic or are either in denial

This isn’t a long term change, it’s a short term change in an attempt to reduce the spread of COVID and protect players and prolong the season

Just enjoy the fact that we have football again!

It is better to not get it than to get it, so why would they not take necessary measures to prevent people from getting it?

Because it’s absolutely idiotic and is a solution in search of a problem.

[img]Seriously, how is an electronic whistle affecting your life in any, meaningful way?[/img]

I’m a serial gambler. It could cost me thousands of dollars so yes, it does.

Also, you’re saying since it doesn’t effect me I shouldn’t care. Should we apply that to everything or just things you agree with?

Preventing people from getting a virus is idiotic, got it.

you've got to be kidding me. Give me one example of an electronic whistle affecting anything to any real extent.


ETA: I'm not saying you can't bitch about it, but i just think it's a very very minor thing to be mad it. If it affects you that much, and you're not mentally strong enough to sit through a football game on TV without going on a tirade on an internet message board, then you may just need to go outside and get some fresh air.

Playing past the whistle will result in players getting hit after the play and people getting hurt. That’s points. That’s food on my family’s table. Why do you want my children to starve?

Geez, no wonder this country has gone down the shitter. You have a better chance of dying in a car accident on the way home from the game than you do of dying from this cold.

It's not going to stop after the election. I'm not sure why some of you think it's just an election stunt. I hate to break it to you but the entire world didn't frick up it's economy just to hurt Trump.
