Letting a bunch of 18-21 year olds who aren't the brightest bunch make decisions that could have multi-million dollar implications. What could go wrong?

No. No, it really doesn’t. This is insanity level conspiracy theory. Believing there was a second gunman on the grassy knoll is one thing. Believing any group is powerful enough to pull of a worldwide conspiracy and at the same time believing that same group couldn’t easily eliminate anyone speaking out against them is just fricking insane.

It’s Democrat speak. If they don’t like something, they could simply not do it. But they want to be able to prevent everybody from doing it.

Why would any healthy person be concerned?

In a radio interview yesterday, Spears stated that he had always been in favor of having football this fall but that now he was “transitioning.” Stated that if covid were to take one college football players life, then it wouldn’t be worth it. I think if it kills a 18-22 year old college football player then we are in big trouble because that would mean the virus has obviously changed and morphed into something way more dangerous than it has been.

They can give up their scholarship anytime they feel.

Naaaaaa. With the proliferation of fantasy and historical fiction like game of thrones, the connotation of that word has been watered down to a point of non-issue
It only has racist overtones because you want it to. Wypipo don't use it that way anymore. It is literally one who chucks a spear

players have always been involved in the decision-making process. They have the right to decide if they want to play in the current system or not. That has not changed.
That’s a cop out.
The choice of lose You scholarship or be exposed to covid isn’t the normal situation.
I understand what you are saying, but I think you are losing my point
The players can definitely have a consolidated effort to not play. in such a case, I think that the institutions will have to act in a manner which reflects their best interest. The players are not in a position to dictate primary policy on a matter like this.

Spears, Kap, Reid, and all like minded individuals should start their own business, instead of working for the "Man". They are all business experts so go for it.

A group so inept that they couldnt gain control of the senate or the presidency, was able to orchestrate A pandemic worldwide as a plan to oust a sitting us president? That makes sense.

Are the players and their parents involved in the decision making part of going out to Tigerland bars to catch the Covid? Because it seems like LSU is doing everything they can to protect the players while on campus

I don’t understand.
Did people think players wouldn’t test positive? Especially if they’re being tested every day? This thing is fricking everywhere.
Every day more and more days backs up the hypothesis that covid is a bad flu in terms of severity especially for young people. It’s just 500x more contagious than the flu.

Some of you, I can see, fail at reading comprehension.
'be involved in decision-making process' isn't the same as 'make the decisions'.
These student-athletes should certainly be involved in the process, whether it's a leadership council of players from various schools, conferences, etc... who can voice the concerns/wishes of the players, in conjunction with coaches, administration officials, conference officials, etc. to come up with a sound decision.
It's the health of the players and coaches that are being risked. And the health of the players, coaches, (and potentially the fans) should be weighed in addition to the economic/business aspects of the games to come to the best conclusion. So why not give the players a voice and involve them in the decision-making process?

He didnt say there was no virus, dipschit. He said that the virus is being used to scare people, when the death rate is similar to the typical flu. And this scaring is done to affect the election. And if you cant see what the dems are doing, .... then you are the virus.

no, genius, ... the left is using the virus for their agenda. Even though the death rate is so low.

No, but what does “players should be involved in decision making process” actually look like? If it’s form a player leadership council that meets independently, then articulates its concerns to coaches, trainers, the AD, then great—I’m all for that. If it’s players “making the decisions,” then absolutely not.
The adults need to consider all concerns, be well-informed, then make the best decisions based on the information they have at their disposal. But make no mistake, the ADULTS make the program decisions. The student-athletes then have the decision if they are comfortable enough to continue playing under the guidelines the adults have implemented. Like, as Rouge said, they always have.
