Yeah and lots of people would not wear helmets that ride motorcycles if they could make that choice. Same thing with seat belts. Just like those decisions are made by other people so will the decision about athletics.

Those people could just make responsible decisions. If they don't or won't then that gets into other issues. I hope and wish for their to be football but I will totally understand if there is not. |

They’re wearing masks when they can, being tested regularly, and taking other precautions. Andy, specifically, is wearing a shield and probably has very little contact with anybody. You’re basically saying they shouldn’t be allowed to “drive” at all. You understand that, right? |

It's all about money. It always has been and always will be about money. Well, until the Image & Likeness laws go into effect nationwide, which will fundamentally change "Amateur" athletics forever. |

Baseball is a great example. Some teams have not had any trouble then there are the Marlins, Cardinals and others. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk |

Unlike your car accident example, these guys can just as easily get COVID and spread it not playing football. Except they might not even know they have it and the risk of spread is even higher due to less or even no testing. |

"You want to play, this is what you'll do. No questions asked and if you break it, we're gonna fine you or suspend you". College is a little different though with them not being pro's. |

I’m simply talking about the choice to play or not play. That’s the freedom of choice I was referring to. |

There again I didn't say I didn't believe in freedom of choice. I merely pointed out the way things are in this country. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk |

If you believe in freedom of choice to play or not play, then what are you arguing about? You didn’t “say anything about auto accidents”, but you brought up seatbelts and helmets. That’s what I was clearly referring to. |

You have been trying to act like you, the players and the coaches do and or should have a say and they absolutely should not in these type of instances. When was the last time the citizens voted on true laws or amendments to the constitution? They don't the elected officials or hired ones by the team owners do all that stuff.

We’re clearly done here. You probably agree with the politicians that went out to protest in their cities while telling people they can’t make a living. Good to know you blindly submit to authority. No wonder you’re living in fear. |

Not my fault or problem you can't handle the way things are. Again I am not living in fear. I do roughly 90% of things just like always. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk |

On one hand you’re saying you believe in freedom of choice, but your take on all of this contradicts that. You completely ignore the fact that they’re all probably safer in a controlled environment where they’re tested regularly while pretending they’re any less likely to get COVID outside of football. You bring up Andy Reid potentially getting it as if you believe the NFL should shut it down as well. Ignoring the fact that Reid is a grown ass man that is willing to take the risk to do what he loves. Why should I feel guilty if Reid gets sick? It’s his choice, not mine. Truth is, I really don’t know what you believe, because you’re not making any sense. Last edited by staylor26; 08-13-2020 at 02:19 PM.. |
