Let me get this straight....

Correct me if I'm missing something.
We're canceling bowl games, costing fans and communities and schools hundreds and thousands and maybe millions of dollars, because players/coaches are testing positive for something that is not making them sick or symptomatic so that they won't cause anyone else to test positive who likewise won't be sick or symptomatic? People who are testing positive for the least harmful variant yet?
This omicrom variant is the least harmful, but the most contagious - I get that. But why are we trying to keep people from getting something that won't hurt them or anyone else??
Are ANY of these kids on ANY of these teams symptomatic? Are any reporters trying to delve into that and see? Or are they just positive tests and we're trying to prevent more positive tests, even as we're testing more frequently?
This is the Stupidest. Thing. Ever.

Played all year and now it is an issue, but yes you are correct.

This is a silly premise. No one knows for sure how the virus will affect them until that have the misfortune of contracting it. So to say that these people won't get sick or be affected negatively is misguided.
Is it a bad situation for fans, absolutely. I feel sorry for people who paid money and took time away from other things to plan to watch their team. I hope that people had travel insurance, but I know it's unlikely - I know I've only purchased it once in my life. In a perfect world, these people would be compensated for money spent.
With all that being said, omicron from what we now know may be the least dangerous variant, but is there anyone that actually WANTS to get it? Doubtful. The people in charge making the decisions to cancel are probably doing so with their organizations best interest.

Only virus in history where the focus is on positive tests and not cases. And these tests are WAY too sensitive and administered WAY too often.

I think we will look back in a few weeks or months and find these precautions were overkill. However, what we are doing now is logical with regard to trying to prevent larger outbreaks. We also have to consider that although it is waning, Delta is still out there…there is still a certain amount of CYA with regard to liability going on as well.

So stupid to cancel all these games over something they'll eventually get and not even know anyway

concerned about the tens of thousands of fans in the stadiums, but when it comes to the 200 or so staff and players that’s a big no-no to play if a player gets Covid? I’ve been against the Covid deniers and anti mask people all along but this is getting f’ing stupid.

You hit the nail on the head... I don't give a flying poot what happens to free AMERICANS Who show up of their own will to enjoy themselves without a bunch of NANNY"S trying to drop a turd in their punch bowl. And neither should you.
