Pathetic Wake wouldn’t allow any spectators!

They should have allowed at least a limited number of audience!
No-1 team and game day coming to your town and this is what you do?

Roy Copper had no problem with kids and teachers being in a small room together. Even allowing just 1000 people would have gone a LONG way with just a little compromise. 1000 people would have only been 3% of the capacity.

Actually Cooper does have a problem with any type

of living going on. He did not want kids back in schools and has tried to convince all counties to close down everything. He has his marching orders from the DNC and will keep NC as closed down as much he feels he can without losing his office until Nov 3rd.
It's purely political with him, though he is actually just a puppet of the AG Josh Stein. Stein is who really runs NC.

True Patriots #### their panties and hide in the basement. If it saves only one life, it's worth it.

Mandy Cohen, the head of North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services, hates football. She's on record of not favoring the playing of any football at any level this season and let's everyone know it. She's not letting parents watch their sons play in huge, empty stadiums to punish them since she didn't get her way in banning football.
Spineless Cooper simply hides behind her skirt.
The parents of players at all the colleges in NC have petitioned her to no avail.

I am an NC resident, I support this decision. I normally attended the Wake game (pre-kids).
Lets play football but limit large gathering that spread covid like a kindergartener who has free reign at the candy store. Common sense folks. Colleges are already trying to handle as much of the burden to contain covid and remain open, why try have them spend more resources for a game?

How is allowing 1000 people out of a 45,000 seat
Sep 11, 2020, 10:10 AM

stadium a "large gathering that spread covid like a kindergartener who has free reign at the candy store"? Give me a break - there is plenty of room to socially distance so there is absolutely no reason NC cannot enact some safety requirements and still allow a limited number of folks to attend these games - namely the parents of the players and radio broadcast teams. Other states are finding ways to accommodate some attendance at the games so there is no reason NC can't do it as well.
The truth is that NC has an intransigent, dimwitted, tow the DNC party line Governor who gets his rocks off issuing decrees as if he were a king. He has no interest in breaking ranks with his Democratic fellow travelers even if common sense says he can and should. May Cooper pay the price for his stupidity at the polls come November...

I have worked large events, you can say "rules" all you want but a crowd never listens. Better to avoid a conflict. And one of the best examples thus far is that a lot of folks don't take covid seriously. All you need is one idiot who consumes the "covid is a lie" to make a scene on national TV. And we are talking about WAKE here so this isn't some UNC idiot level either. College campuses are not a great place to try to control ANYTHING viruses or people. The other issue isn't spacing in the stands (that is easy) but maintaining distancing during other moments such as entrance/exists, bathrooms, concessions etc.
You don't follow NC politics do ya? The kooks are living high on the carcass that is the Raleigh machine. Cooper, for however skiddish he happens to be hasn't stepped into a mess and then claim it was a good idea (like bathroom Pat). I don't like the Coop, but the Pubs are serving up idiots like they hotdogs at the fair. Dan is a good person but dang, he is a lousy candidate - better than my guy but hey, we never do much.
Ever since dipping in June to a near tie, Cooper has opened up a big lead over Forest... mostly because of trying to do "something" Forest keeps trying to block everything. Really, the only political position Forest is doing is being anti-cooper. Even DiFoire is saying more and I don't really like my party's choice either.

Your position would make sense if we were talking about allowing fans in the stadium at a % capacity. I personally think that is viable but that's another argument for another day. No, the issue is that the Governor's office is not allowing 500 or so parents in an empty stadium (outside in the open air) to simply watch their sons play football.
If the virus is this dire, then we shouldn't allow anyone out at all, much less to go to the grocery store, home depot, etc. or to even receive the beloved Amazon packages.
It's an anti football, punitive measure pure and simple.
There's no "science" being followed as all experts agree that the risk of the virus in open air, with social distancing is miniscule.
