Not enough broken glass, overturned vehicles, and fire to be "peaceful."??

so everyone should just flock to bars / restaurants ignore all protocols then complain about football being cancelled.

But how are you going to get college students to social distance? How does Rush week work? How do you keep the GDI's from partying?

The players can constantly be tested. They won't be social distancing obviously, so they will test them constantly.

Obviously

I thought it was obvious. That was the point in saying it; athletes won't be social distancing or wearing masks, so their risk of transmitting or receiving the virus is the same regardless of mask wearing in the public. It doesn't make sense to think football players won't get the virus if more people were wearing masks. Even if masks "get the virus under control", masks still don't prevent the spread of respiratory viruses. So obviously we can't expect that football players, with no mask or distancing, won't contract the virus. The only way to be (relatively) sure no athletes will contract the virus is to either completely eradicate the virus, or place the players and coaches in a 24/7 insulated bubble.
Spot the gosh darn ball already.

No correlation to playing football. Mask/no masks - no correlation to playing college football.
If the case rate is 100 per day in your town, or whether it's 300, the risk of a player contracting the virus is the same. Whether or not 100% of people are wearing masks, and whether or not people go to bars and restaurants, it will not change the fact athletes will contract the virus. The only way to be relatively sure college football players won't catch the virus is to keep them insulated in bubbles, 100% of the time. No classes. No going out in public.

Months and months ago, he called on governors and local governments to proceed with implementing protocols they saw fit in their states and communities.

Protesting was not smart regarding the virus spread
Aug 17, 2020, 12:38 PM
|

that being said, one stupid thing doesn't make another stupid thing smart.
Whataboutism is a terrible way to argue, in general.
I want football and if I was in the USA I would wear the stupid mask and social distance to HELP my cause. Why is this so difficult for people to understand?

Nothing, some of us have just decided to move on with our lives at different points. This has dragged on long enough. Once you decide to move on with your life, can you guarantee no more infections or deaths? Will you be moving on at exactly the right point some how? We just disagree, I’m done with this whole thing. Gave it a shot in March April May.

Move on with your life? Seriously?
Nobody is asking you to be quarantined in your home or not go to work. Just wear a mask.

You are at risk to contract the virus or spread the virus, the minute you walk out of your door.

Attitudes like these college students are going to end up getting the football season canceled if nor modified. If infection rates skyrocket on campuses there will be no fall football no matter what your opinions on the situation are. You can either accept that or be part of the reason why Clemson doesn’t win the 2020 national championship.

campuses and in sports. Period. People need to understand we cannot play football thinking no players will get the virus. Once a player gets it, then his risk to others is identical regardless of transmission rate in the general public.

That's why they are tested constantly. If player contracts it he will be isolated.

I respectfully disagree...
Aug 17, 2020, 3:08 PM
|

The students definitely need to social distance and wear masks because I believe it can impact whether we start/finish the season. And I think we can agree that we do want football in the fall right?
Are we still debating the effectiveness of these protocols though? I really hope not.

Let's try this another way.
Aug 17, 2020, 6:06 PM
|

If 100% of students wear masks, how will that eliminate the risk of transmitting the virus on a football field?

It doesn't eliminate it but can reduce the chances another student/player is infected. Are the football players doing virtual classes? Are they having seperate classess? If student cases skyrocket it will increase the chances a player gets it. Classes will be shut down and football could follow if rate goes up.

Athletes playing sports are at risk of contracting the virus. The end.
