Big Ten conference officially nixed football and all fall sports. Ugh! College football is done this year. Probably NFL too.

College Football is/was in a no-win situation.  No fans in the stands, what are they playing for?  TV revenue ... that's the fastest way to legitimize players forming a union.

[emtee]

I agree. It just sucks. I love college football. They did the right thing.

[cramx3]

Yea, the college football cancellation is pretty much expected but sucks for a big fan like myself.  It makes sense and of course was always about the money.  I think, like school openings, there's some good reason to go ahead with it but plenty of reason not to so you take the safety approach, we are dealing with kids here. 

I don't think college football cancelling has much impact on NFL though, that's a totally different animal.  If baseball is going to keep going, the NFL will go as well IMO.  At least those are paid professionals so I don't feel for them the way I feel for a college athlete if that makes sense.

The argument for Football (NFL) is the distance between the players when in formation. I wonder if it's the same for Rugby.

Baseball, isn't really much physical person to person contact, so it's fine.

I don't think it's either of those.  Take NBA for example, thats body on body without the pads.  But the NBA put everyone involved in a bubble to prevent COVID from getting in and so far it's been successful.  Doing that for football is really difficult because of how many people are involved.  MLB also didn't do a bubble, and so far we've seen outbreaks on teams and games being cancelled.  The NFL, like the other major leagues will do constant testing.  I don't think colleges have the ability to set up a bubble nor to do so much testing (they already were testing, I know PSU had not had any positive tests since they returned to campus, but people showed up positive and were isolated just like in the major leagues).  I think that's actually a reason to play the season according to some of the student athletes.  They feel its safer to be with the team who is tested and will be close quarters together so you know they won't be off on their own.  Sending them home, means they'll likely disobey the social distancing more often and increase risk of exposure.  This side was represented by the Clemson QB on twitter https://badgerswire.usatoday.com/2020/08/09/clemsons-star-qb-trevor-lawrence-has-strong-words-about-the-momentum-towards-cancelling-the-fall-season/

Yeah, that too. NBA did the right move.

Dammit, why can't I think of the term, The Offensive and Defensive line is what I mean, they're face to face huffing and breathing heavily.

I bet you all a bazillion fucking dollars that this was the year Cal was going to the Rose Bowl too.

To lose to Penn State     

Honestly thought this was going to be a year for a run at the big10 championship, and it sucks. Its funny how they are saying maybe in the spring they'll play the season. There's so many unanswered questions and it totally breaks the NCAA in how it's a poor organization. SEC and ACC haven't cancelled, southern schools mostly. Imagine they play a season 

[T-ski]

We have professional baseball players too stupid to adhere to the rules of social distancing, no way I trust college kids to do any better.

Seriously though, we returned most of our offense and defense, and were in the talks for preseason top 25. At least we don't have to watch the press fellatiate Ohio St. all season.

The argument many are making is that these (ahem...) student athletes will actually be better served to be within the structure of the program than they would be left to their own devices. No football? Alright, I'll just go out and party like a normal college student.

I know it has no use to argue with you, it's not possible with leftist antifa or blm supporters.Totally brainwashed and frightend for the government you have to obey them.Here they want to raid your house when you don't follow the rules get you under arrest and give you a fine.Children will put under quarantaine if the sneeze or cough or will be placed out of home.Yeah it will get very peacefull for everybody i hope it won't be true but it seems very dangerous.My hope for you is that Trump will save you.

As for the experts who studied this for years and and warning for this pandemic for years i'd say follow the money

Tin foil hats must get awfully hot this time of year. Imagine calling someone antifa/blm supporter in a derogatory way because they aren't a conspiracy theorist. Yiiiiiikes

Even in astrology, well shit, that's the clincher for me.

Every sentence you typed is insane.

I just have to also say that this is the single greatest Mod response to any thread in the history of this or any iteration of this forum.
I love you dude, so much!

I actually lol’ed when I saw Hef’s response as well

Correction, 2nd greatest.  Nothing will ever top the response to Janet1234.

Please don't ban him though ... these posts are the stuff of legend.  If anything, just change the avatar to a seagull - since all he does is swoop in, squawk a lot, shit over everything, then fly away.  A seagull avatar would seem appropriate.

Ja i know it is common to ridicule someone with a different opinion than yours,Often you'd be referred to as crazy,that's very brave.But i don't care.Please keep these posts for the future so we can see how it turned out.Cheers

[jingle.boy]

We really should have a bingo card of conspiracy theory catch-phrases.

"9/11"
"you have to search for the ties"
"Bill Gates"
"Rockefellers"
“Do your own research”
"it's all connected"
"follow the money"

I mean, we're well on our way to a full card here.

Oh, I promise... we will.  The "crazy" isn't resulting from different opinions, it's on opinions that are clearly defiant to well established facts and science.

Not spacing out sentences has made me not even bother putting thought into what this person is writing 

[gmillerdrake]

So.....I just went to a local gun shop to see about picking up a couple magazine holsters. Keep in mind I live in a VERY red/trumpian area. I walked into the shop wearing my mask and I was the only person wearing one between employees and the handful of patrons in there. Received many judgmental glares and.....when asked by an employee if there was anything he could help me with......I said "looking for a magazine holster"......he quickly said..."We don't have any of those" all the while holding the same glare I'd been getting from everyone.

I was looking right at the rack that had a pretty good assortment of magazine holsters. It was apparent I wasn't welcome there given the fact I was wearing a mask....and honestly, I should have walked out before that anyway because none of those nitwits were wearing one.

Their loss on business. Idiots.

[gmillerdrake]

Their loss on business. Idiots.

I rarely visit this particular shop because of the general attitude of the employees. They've been pretty judgmental in the past even before this face mask thing today. They talk down to people a lot.....are very blunt and over all not friendly. That was the first time I've stepped into that shop in I'd say 7 or 8 years. I just need a couple more mag. holsters for some training I'm going through this saturday so I thought I'd go to them since they're only a couple minutes away. So, it looks like I'll make the drive out to my normal 'go to' store tomorrow.

[Anguyen92]

I'm surprised they haven't gone out of business yet then.  Is there anyway that you can give a honest review about them and let them know about it?

[hunnus2000]

This is what it has devolved to.
