Since risk is being talked about, let’s break it down
Roughly 150 Americans aged 18-24 have died of covid-19. There are 30.6 million Americans aged 18-24
So, .00049% of 18-24 year olds have died of covid
So that is the data.

Nah you're just calling out your bullshite for being in one thread saying they can just opt out and in another complaining about a guy doing just that.
I think every player should have the right to choose whether or not they play football, for any given reason. I think a player should have the right to not play simply because they don’t want to, even outside of any pandemic
I also believe every player has the right to be judged on their decision. I am uncertain where you find the inconsistency of those two opinions

You know nothing about their lives, their family's lives, or what's happening at their programs but you're the judge of their personal decision about their life

But, I forgot I am in the presence of greatness. You have managed 54,077 posts on this sports message board while not judging those athletes you don’t personally know
Damnit, I was wrong. Here you were just today judging some people you don’t personally know

A 325 pound human being is in no way “perfectly healthy”.
And that's why they won't play football this fall.
The sport has WAY too many unhealthy people because the sport demands it at certain positions.
We've been living a lie that it's normal for people to carry that weight just because they play a sport. Art Donovan was called Fatso because he weighed 275 pounds.
Average weight of an offensive lineman is now 315 pounds.

I don’t trust anyone who posts on Facebook. And I definitely don’t trust anyone who uses that many exclamation points and random capitalizations.
The truth is some players are going to get hospitalized. There may even be some deaths. It will be an extraordinary small percentage. The downsides of not playing are very severe, but they will likely not be health related.
The players can sit out and keep their scholarship. Cest la vie

Anyone that thinks there will be a college football season this fall is wishful thinking.

If .00049% of college football players die(13,000 in fbs), that’s .06 players that will die
Why then hell does everyone keeping acting like a death is almost certain? It would be a statistical abnormality for a player to die
1 in 200,000 college aged citizens have died. Not close to being 1 in 13,000 or so

Exaxtly why there will not be a season. No one wants to be THAT SCHOOL that kills a kid.

You're kind of a douche bag in these threads.
You know damned well these counting statistics are incredibly stupid to extrapolate to the entire population. Your overall point is sound, but your delivery is complete hogwash and you know it. What you're doing is no different than the people who say the death rate among college aged kids has doubled when it goes from 1/400000 to 1/200000.
Factually correct, but intellectually dishonest as hell.

Aren’t most offensive linemen and defensive linemen the same size..

Anyone who thinks this thing wasn’t enhanced by the Chinese is kidding themself.
A respiratory virus that spreads without/before symptoms and affects the blood, brain, heart, and kidneys... this thing may have originated in bats but it was augmented in that lab.

It is statistically unlikely that a college football player dies from covid-19. That isn’t an opinion or hogwash, it’s a verifiable fact

Once the kid chose to play football on his own and leave the house to do so, there is nothing the college can do to guarantee him from protection of the virus
Now, the mother of the child could have guaranteed protection by telling/forcing the son to stay at home and not leave the house
So it seems she is mad at herself I suppose

Do you support the idea of the players getting to remain on scholarship if they opt out?
Posted on 8/4/20 at 8:37 am to lsupride87
It is damn near impossible to keep college aged kids from socializing with one another for months and months, football or not.

If I was a leader of a school, I would have still granted the scholarships for this season
