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.

Of course it's politics....

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.

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.

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.

Are located predominantly in blue states..
Big 10 is full of swing states.
Could also be that people in the south just really love college football more and are more willing to take the risk.

Does anyone actually believe that $h1t for brains Michigan Governor would ever let Michigan or Michigan State play a game? There is no way she would allow probably 300+ players, coaches, staff, media and tv people congregate in one place. She would stop it just for spite.

The guy is a raging conspiracy theorist.

Lack of evidence of a conspiracy, or positive proof against its existence, be ######.
This is just evidence of the craftiness of those behind the plot, and their ability to dupe the public (rolling eyes).

It's nothing but a Trump bashing hate rant...
So I am also a raciest because I want football to play?
I would be honored to suit up and march onto that field, but God didn't bless me with that kind of talent.

Despite the Liberal agenda, people can have a different opinion.
BTW, go ahead and call me part of the conservative sheeple. I will just point back at you the irony of your statement.

Your first mistake was thinking this had anything to do with protecting the health of these athletes. Clearly they are in more danger of dying in a traffic accident, ODing on drugs or alcohol, or even dying of the actual flu than they are from Covid, yet here we are. The anti science crowd is hard at work to stay on their couches collecting full pay for as long as possible. Can't have guys playing football, it makes you being afraid to leave your own house seem ridiculous.

having said that, you're talking out of your a$$ and you know it. There is some question about the virus doing long term damage to the heart. That's the reason, not your deep state boogey man bull$####.
