Nope.
The death rate has been decreasing every week since it's peak back on the week of 4/18. The GF riots / protests started 4 weeks ago and we are still seeing a decline.
Go back to your bubble.
Hey I hope the deaths do not happen but with the current spikes after Labor Day and the July 4th holidays it is naive to think the cases and deaths would not increase if Fall spectator sports go on as usual. Does the public have the stomach for it? Maybe you should go back to your bubble.Nope.

Imagine your a coach of a high school team and god forbid a player on your team gets the virus and dies it will be lawsuits up the ass from the parents.
I don’t have high school aged kids, so those who do, what are you hearing about high school football and other sports?
Our school district has elected to delay the start of school and go 100% virtual for at least the first month. They have not made a decision on extracurricular activities, but I’m doubtful they will approve those if they won’t even allow kids into school. What are y’all hearing in your towns?
It would really suck for these kids to have their season cancelled. I would imagine it would also have upstream effects with regards to recruits missing a season of play and development. Hopefully we don’t get a class full of J.J. Peterson’s.
I agree 100% ..... let my daughter play basketball this yearWe signed an acknowledgement that COVID is a virus, and listed the steps they are taking based on Ohio guidelines. Son is playing, daughter is cheering . Taking all of the available info and applying my own common sense, I made my decision to let them play. Season could be called tomorrow, but that would be out of our control of course. If someone doesn’t want to participate, then they shouldn’t and that is their right but don’t take it away from the kids that do want to participate, after carefully weighing the consequences and making their own decision.
I am totally good with the unsanctioned ones, like cock fighting, taking place like previous years.I personally believe schools should be open and the decision of sports should be left up to the parents, players, and coaches. But I don’t see how schools can justify having sports with the amount of modifications taking place. If it’s not safe for kids to be in school, then it’s not safe for them to be playing school sanctioned sports.
They save auto insurance companies money. I choose to wear a seatbelt but like many I’m starting to feel too many of my personal freedoms are being taken away by big brother. One thing the BLM movement has helped me realize is there are too many police with impunity roaming around the streets in east TN looking for some petty reasons to issue a traffic citation. Those resources should be redirected towards something more beneficial to society. IMHOIncorrect. Seat belts do much more than just save your a##. Look it up.
If the NFL and they are, along with many high school programs, and they are, find a way to play football this fall, you can be sure many college programs will also be playing football this fall.
And OSHA has had rules for a long time requiring a mask policy if you require people to wear masks. That policy must include paying for a screening followed by routine check ups. OSHA rules are almost always precipitated by injuries or illnesses. The screenings are specifically designed to assure there are no unknown issues... sort of like the VERY remote possibility of catching Covid through casual contact with an asymptomatic carrier in Walmart.Dishonest then. I watched a health professional state on TV a couple of days ago that anyone claiming a medical condition for not wearing a mask would not be in good enough health to venture out.
Do you have a statistics based study proving that having 330 million healthy people wear masks is an effective way of preventing the spread of a virus they do not have? Otherwise... your argument fails.I guess you believe it would be your decision to drive while intoxicated. Sorry but your argument fails.
