Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

So CJP's post-game comments have had me thinking today, and I've come to an interesting (and sad) realization.

Serious question: why exactly are universities (and certain pro sports) limiting their athlete's activities, freedoms, and requiring uncomfortable testing multiple times a week?

So they can play ball. The only way the NCAA would agree to let them, JMO.

 

[tennvols77]

Correct. It has nothing to do with their health, as their risk is approximately zero. In other words, these athletes are being robbed of their liberties and close to a year of normal college "life," while being subjected to a multitude of uncomfortable tests, even though they are healthy, so that teams can be at or near full-strength for games. It's needless exploitation.

I understand why schools are doing it, so the answer is to change the guidelines for quarantine and testing. Somebody is going to have to stand up and demand a change.

This country is an active, live, real time Jerry Springer show.......get on stage and get ready for the crowd of idiots to scream, yell, and attack you with chairs.......

Who really covets the spotlight enough to deal with the realities of modern day, instant, reactionary, and out of control "coverage" this would receive?

Only people capable of calling the bluff are the players.

Formal protest I think it's called.......but, they want to play. Can't blame them. So, more interesting, is....what if the players revolted, what happens then.....?

Since we don’t the OT thread and this was ar a football game last night, check this out...

Just go to any home with a Trump/Pence yard sign and they will give you candy. Tell your friends.

He really should have shot her in the back 7 times.

He really should have shot her in the back 7 times.

Because this was literally the same thing.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Because this was literally the same thing.

she could've had a weapon in her purse or on her person or had a warrant....no one knows. Got to shoot first and find out the particulars later. He was in fear for his life too.....

Have a warrant? Nope.

Sexually assaulted the person who called? Nope.

Armed with a knife? Nope.

Stealing a car? Nope.

Disobeying police after their guns are drawn? Nope.

Yes, literally the same thing.

This is good. As expected Virus mutating but weakening. Should help with herd immunity.

I remember when so many on here mocked the process known as Muller's ratchet and now the Rona bros are gone. Dumble probably drove is RV into the ocean because his doomsday didn't come true, Bearded lady doesn't visit anymore, Csmokey my daddy is a doctor is still claiming this is the week that college football gets canceled just wait 2 weeks.

I actually think the opposite. This thing is just not that bad when put in context and the media narrative changes overnight if Biden is elected. If Trump is re-elected the media hurricane of fear lies continues.

You can't reason with people like him. He is too intellectually dishonest to even attempt a conversation with.

I bet you still use words like "witch hunt" and "hoax".

Farce or scam seem more fitting at this point

I have never called it hoax. Like PJ says it is an absolute farce.

 

[Mick]

Farce works when I said she should have been shot in the back 7 times.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Even I could have told you numbers will go up and fear news will start the closer we got to election.

so the states are conspiring? Or the CDC?

no one trusts donald....he has a credibility issue.

 

[rjd970]

Neither. The media had an agenda.

I’m not disputing the numbers (for the most part), I’m disputing the context in which it is presented and reported. I still question the testing accuracy.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Because Halloween is cancelled?

No that wide spread protesting and rioting is okay and not condemned even though there's a pandemic, but literally everything else is.

Bingo. The media can basically blow anything out of proportion if they so choose to.
