David Hale has to spin it as a long term Covid issue to support his agenda

Ummm, pretty sure JF said he never fully recovered from Covid. This isn't a MSM conspiracy.
Covid 100% affected his ability to play football at an elite level.
He as able to play previously with Asthma and Allergies. He caught Covid. Then was unable to fully recover and play.
This is a serious virus and not a hoax.

Sure it’s a real virus. But it didn’t kill the amount of people the media has proclaimed.

It didn't kill 500,000+ people? And exactly how would YOU know that? If anything, the numbers might be underreported because we don't know how many people died from it without a positive COVID-19 test.

Re: Through Dec 26th, 334k more Americans had died in 2020

Well few things
1) Apparently you don't understand sarcasm as the other poster was insinuating that the 500K total was overstated in his comment without being specific in how it was being wrong. So i was agreeing with him but challenging him that in fact the number is too low
2) If you're going to present stats, i would go beyond the number 1 google link (which is what you chose) to ensure you get the most accurate data or go to source data. Here is a link to the CDC with the up to date data...
Now is the number closer to 900K? No i don't believe it is. Is it maybe closer to 600K than 500K i would argue it would be as from Jan-March of last year there were likely many Covid related deaths which were listed as other deaths. As well, there is statistical evidence showing that other deaths from accidents, etc were down throughout 2020 but excess deaths were significantly up in every week. This would correspond to underreported data.
Anyway, the fact are ... this virus is dangerous. over half a million people in the US alone have died from it and i just wonder why people are so adamant about trying to show it isn't dangerous or something to be concerned about. This young man has had his football career cut short by Covid. He declaring this personally - and dbags on this board continue to challenge the accuracy of the information as a conspiracy.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htmFigures present excess deaths associated with COVID-19 at the national and state levels.

but I dont see any spin from David Hale in this article. Foster and Dabo both said Covid got him bad considering his asthma and is what it is. Besides, why would a sportswriter have an agenda to end sports bc of covid...when his job depends on the sports to be played?

The only spin I see is the statement that Dabo was disappointed, without including that he wants what is best for his players long term. Dabo NEVER just says he is disappointed without wrapping up on a positive note.
