It actually doesn’t matter what either of you or people all over the country believe because neither of you are medical experts and neither are they. But villox sides with the experts. By all means, though, let these young men play. They probably won’t die!

No. There are experts on both sides of this issue., but this is the sort of nonsense that I've come to expect from you. Cheer up, wear your mask, socially distance and stay safe.

I thought you were going to keep these kinds of posts on the Rant board?

Please do share an example of a public health expert or epidemiologist saying it’s safe to have football. I have an open mind.

So the B1G and Pac12 are smarter than EVERYONE else in the country?!? College and Pro? Ok, Got it! No wonder people across the country think so highly of NU people! Lol. The arrogance on these forums is getting unbearable. “I’m right and you’re wrong....and if you disagree with me you’re an idiot!”

Brady Feeney contracted the virus at home in Missouri. He was hospitalized, recovered and is back with the team.

Just responding to this guy about a football issue

Then why did you say “No college football players have even been hospitalized.”

Correct.

“My son was negative when he got tested at the beginning of volunteer workouts. Within three weeks he and multiple others tested positive.”

Is this the part when I get to remind you that you constantly scold me for supposedly being unwilling to admit when I’m wrong?

 

[gocatsgo2003]

Then why did you say “No college football players have even been hospitalized.”

Willful ignorance with a side of cognitive dissonance.

Well... yeah.

Is that not also exactly what you’re doing?

I don’t call anyone out. I’ve said numerous times everyone can have their opinions. I state what I think. You’re allowed to disagree. Or should I just reply “No” ?

 

[No Chores]

Then why did you say “No college football players have even been hospitalized.”

Because he was back with the team when I made the statement and he wasn't hospitalized. My mistake, which I admit, was saying no college players have even been hospitalized. Feeney is a freshman who got Covid at home, in St. Louis was hospitalized, recovered, and went back to the team. Please recall that the subject of this discussion is whether college kids should be playing football in the age of COVID. Feeney has never played college football and he got it at home. (Also, please see TejasCats post above about the 11,000 college kids who tested positive for COVID, none of whom were hospitalized.)

Reading is fundamental.

Couldn't agree more. Please read the whole article where Feeney's mother was very critical of the people in Missouri for not wearing masks and social distancing. A very informative article in this regard appeared in the St.Louis newspaper. In any event, I'm very glad that the young man has recovered and will continue his college football career.

Perfect.

“The freshman’s condition first came to light last week when his mother, Debbie Rucker, posted a Facebook message on a page devoted to parents of college athletes. Feeney tested negative for the coronavirus when he reported to Indiana for voluntary workouts in June, Rucker posted, but was among several players who tested positive within three weeks.”

Keep on digging.

PS — I was under the impression that you thought “Feeney has never played college football.” How would he then “continue his college football career” if it never started?

I'm having trouble with the timing, but I might very well have been wrong. The question remaining in my mind is whether he got this when he returned to St. Louis or after he returned to IU. It sounds like it might have been when he returned to to IU, in which case I WAS WRONG. I wonder then why Mom was so critical of the folks in Missouri? I also wonder whether he has returned to practice? Fair?

He's practiced apparently but never played in a game. Hopefully, though, he will eventually, unless he's sustained some significant damage.

Because she was using the real-life example of her son getting his ass kicked by COVID in Indiana as an example for the people who live near her in Missouri.

And yes, he has apparently returned to practice but still might have long-term lung and/or heart issues to deal with.

He's practiced apparently but never played in a game. Hopefully, though, he will eventually, unless he's sustained some significant damage.

So now we have reached the "it's perfectly fine that this otherwise healthy college football player had to be taken to the ER with difficulty breathing then suffered symptoms for 14 days and may yet still have long-term health complications as a result of his bout with COVID, but it's fine because he was never put on a ventilator" phase of this roundabout argument in which you continually move the goal posts?

Would hope that a former lawyer would choose his words a little more carefully and actually stick to a position.

“Nearly every major university that has resumed in-person learning in recent weeks has reported coronavirus clusters among students and staff members. Some large universities, including James Madison University and North Carolina State, have pivoted to online classes after outbreaks emerged.”

As soon as you show me a University with sustained safe in-person learning, I’ll believe it’s safe to play football.

 

[TejasCat]

Do yourself a favor and prepare your talking points for what you will say when the first player is hospitalized due to an unknown underlying condition. Or contract traced to killing a loved one.

I’m sure you will be rooting for this.

 

[DaCat]

I wouldn’t wish COVID on anyone, but I might make and exception for you.

Really? Over a message board? Sad.

Completely uncalled for. And frankly disgusting. Why did public health get so political?

Talk about overreaction. Let them play! These young men have worked their whole lives (well, less than half, and really only a handful of years) to be star athletes (or the third string offensive lineman). They know what they’re signing up for! Let them play!!!

How many football players tested positive?

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

And infect everyone else

Not if the vulnerable shelter in place, something that should be partly THEIR responsibility.

 

[villox]

How many football players tested positive?

As of a month ago they reported 21 athletes have tested positive. I haven't seen any reports since then. However, this is a serious outbreak, as evidenced by the actions they're taking:

"Starting 5 p.m. Monday through 5 p.m. Sept. 21, all in-person social events are canceled, student gyms and recreation facilities are closed, dining halls are carry-out only, visitors are not allowed in residence halls, events for student organizations are online only and all student meetings except for classes must also be held online instead of in person."

What percentage of the population do you wager that is?

Wtf are you talking about? I never wished death on anyone.
