So does this mean you’re all in on the HERD or are you going to remain a fan whore and have two teams still?

stop being stupid. I've never been all in on the Herd, or even 2% in.

There are approximately 12,650 Division 1 College Football players.

0.1% of that number is 12.650. I wasn't sure how to represent the 0.650 of a young person that you're okay with seeing die for college football.

I would think it's not that I'm o.k. with that, it would be that the player who has made a decision to accept that risk and play or NOT. Life and college football is full of risks and we make decisions and manage our lives based on that. For example, I don't drive 120 MPH, it isn't safe. College football players choose to play a game that has always been full of risks, serious injuries are common in football and in some cases very serious injuries such as paralysis or in recent years, the concussion syndrome. You have noticed that an ambulance is parked at every football field during game days, right??

Says nothing about football.

Says nothing about football.

Thank you for making my point.

Thank you for making my point.

What point is that we should drop all college sports cause an athlete may get shot?

I think Disney is hemorraging cash and took the risk in desperation, but they are implementing social distancing guidelines in their park and taking steps to prevent employees from being infected. Read up on it, they've changed a ton of practices in response to the pandemic, including ending guest interactions with mascots. No word on whether they are requiring their employees to tackle guests in the open field.

As to what you can and cannot be sued for - and I'm sorry guys, this requires a little reading as well - that is still in debate. Mitch McConnell wants a provision in the next relief package that would essentially make it impossible to sue, no matter the circumstances, but even President Trump opposes it. Its a major sticking point in the current negotiations, but again, you'd only know that if you read the news.

The colleges have opened their dorm rooms and their campus to students. So, I think your argument is snort on merit. The same schools have instructors there. They are offering food service and other items.

This is not about liability or they would be completely shut down. Is ODU suddenly more worried about lawsuits than their sister schools in the same state? They both have the same Attorney General.

I have said all along the northern states and west coast would be the first to opt out. The southern teams would try to play. Throw in some midwestern schools like Nebraska and Iowa and there you have it.

Look at a map of Nov 2016. College football weirdly seems to be following that same map. Weird, hugggh.

Just any map from that month and year or a certain type of map in particular?

Not to mention from drug overdoses, needle stick diseases, infections, etc., HIV infections morphing into full blown AIDS, etc., etc.
