Cancelling Football - Numbers Don't Add Up

For Power 5 conferences to be a "go," complete with schedules released on or about July 31 - and then do a 180 in an "emergency meeting" last Sunday - it at least raises the question of politics.
There are some 45-million Americans in the age group - 15-24 (college age kids). Of the 163,000 Covid deaths in the U.S., 125 have come from the 15-24 demo. ONE PERCENT would be 1,630, but we're nowhere close to even THAT number. 125 out of 163,000 is about one-thirteenth of one percent.
Hardly a devastating probability of death (from Covid) for college guys playing football.

they're hoping college football gets cancelled and we all blame Trump.
Two birds with one stone. They get their globalist puppets back in power and the commies in academia get to shed athletics, which they hate anyway.

So someone having a different opinion than you gives you the ability to call their post stupid. Then go on to say they couldn't possibly have this belief and also go to Clemson? But that is the problem people aren't allowed to have different opinions anymore. It's I'm right or I'm going to call you stupid even if you have facts. How about we all quit picking sides and all fight to move America forward and not backwards.

P.S. I currently go to Clemson

People are allowed to have opinions and PB Tiger was simply stating his opinion. I agree with PB tiger, Clemsonpoker489 provides baseless assumptions and ridiculous logic resulting in nut case conspiracy theory, culminating in a stupid post. But that’s nothing more than my opinion.

I just love that it's either "death" or "completely healthy" with these numbers. Ya'll are the ones that sees someone lose both legs in a car accident and says, "Yeah but they didn't count towards the death number".
Xavier Thomas got COVID 5 months ago and is unable to play a full season this year. Think about it. A 21 year old kid gets sick in March and isn't well enough to play a full season of football. When's the last time you heard that?

So if XT was injured in a car accident, would you stop riding in cars? You can take precautions, but you can't remove all risks.
If we play, I hope someone tracks stats of players sitting, being normal college students vs those who play. I doubt you will see much difference.

Didn't XT get COVID AND Mono?

Thought I read he had minimal symptoms with COVID, but MONO hit him hard and he lost a lot of weight...

XT is out of shape, using the sicknesses to save some face. Sucks too, I was hoping for a great year from him.
