Dr Fauci just made “personal“ statement about pro sports this Summer..


Apr 15, 2020, 9:18 AM

said games possibly could be played Fanless with teams quarantined in hotels and tested a lot.

So, maybe college football will fit into that scenario!

Know that he’s a former high school & college basketball player and is an avid fan of a pro baseball team..and as such he would like to see sports resume asap safely.

I have personally been thinking we will have no sports or events this year so when we finally get something I'll be pleasantly surprised by it.

His story and history is a lot like the next gen will be reading 40+ years from now and their names will be the players that Dabo brings in.

He's Correct


Apr 15, 2020, 9:54 AM

MLB is already exploring such a plan: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2886539-mlb-rumors-league-still-investigating-plan-to-start-2020-season-in-arizona


This seems legitimate and feasible.

And I think if MLB can pull it off, it will experience a massive resurgence in popularity. Can you imagine 10-15 televised games every day right now? I'd probably just sit and watch baseball all day. I'm really hoping this becomes reality (if this lockdown continues). Obviously, I'd prefer to return to normal, but if not, this is a great option.

Re: He's Correct- MLB would have to outlaw spitting

I dont think they can play without doing that. ;)

They might be able to play college football without fans, but I don't see them being able to quarantine college athletes. Maybe they could do online classes to avoid fellow students, but if the virus is still enough of a concern to not allow fans, then I find it hard to imagine them putting unpaid athletes into quarantine and putting them on the field.

some of the posts i read on here completely boggle the mind. go ahead and raise your hand if you will not go to a game in death valley this fall. this should be quite interesting.

73% of sports fans in a recent poll said they would not attend games until a vaccine was available

Re: Dr Fauci just made personal statement about pro sports this Summer..


Apr 15, 2020, 2:38 PM

well that 73% will probably never go to another game. fauchi was put in charge of developing an aids vaccine. how did that work out. there is also no vaccine for any flu strains. there are a lot of poorly informed people in our country.

There absolutely are flu vaccines. What in the world do you think seasonal flu shots are exactly?

uh they are flu shots. they work for some and not for others. small pox is a vaccine. measles is a vaccine. good lord dude. hopefully you didnt graduate from high school yet.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The flu shot is a multivalent vaccine


Apr 15, 2020, 3:56 PM

It's the equivalent of getting three or four separate vaccines.

Flu shots are literally vaccines against certain strains of the flu. There are multiple strains of flu. The flu shot is not effective against all of them, only the ones that background research have indicated could be the largest contributors to each flu season. Some people still get the flu after receiving a flu shot because they've contracted a different strain. At least do a modicum of research before acting like you know what you're talking about.

I'll even help. Here's the CDC's entry on it: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/flushot.htm

Their first statement is: "An influenza shot is a vaccine given with a needle, usually in the arm. Seasonal influenza shots protect against the three or four influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the season."

You're right about there being a lot of poorly informed people in our country though. #### you see one every time you look in the mirror.

Pretty sure his wish list includes shuttering the country for 18 mos and no more handshakes, ever.

Sounds completely rational.

90% of players will sit out. You can't do that to CFB players. "opinion" is a big word, Trump told NFL plan on playing.

We'll see what happens but I totally agree with you the NFL and CFB are two different animals in this lab experiment.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yep, pro athletes choosing to play is an option


Apr 15, 2020, 4:36 PM

I think truncated season at best for CFB at this point. I think lawsuit potential will keep any college sports inactive.
