Coronavirus (sports edition) thread

Apologies to everyone for being far too political in a football thread.



Youre good Edmund. Impossible to talk covid and sports without politics being involved. Dont feel like you need to apologize to the anti-mask anti-vax crowd.

They're a strange bunch.

Bottom line is if the NFL follows through on "forfeiting" games and salaries then with five division games in a row at the end of the season it could well determine who goes to the playoffs. Especially as an "outbreak" could well cover two games. The NFL has done this to cause peer pressure in the lockerroom where normally each guys business is his own, this I don't agree with. Could cause divisions if a team misses tge playoffs as a result

NO, the NFL did this because there is no room to reschedule games.
Stop trying to deflect the blame from the players.
If you infect your team, you're an asshole!

I guarantee you Haskins is going to take down the Steelers with Super Stripper Covid. Too bad he isn't a Cowboy.

Thanks, was apologizing in general for veering off of football, I know it annoys many, including myself, when that happens, occasionally though you get caught up in rant mode :)

There was a point in time when a choice was just a choice - not too damn long ago either. Now it's entitlement? Guess we'll be calling it privelege before too long...

This is still America right?

Get the vaccine if you want it. Don't get the vaccine if you don't want it. Don't shame anyone else for making a decision opposite of yours. You're not "right". You just made a different choice.

Yes you can make that call but it comes at a price and that price might be your job or the lives of family ,friends or yourself.

Not really, I try not to pay much attention to it. I just get a kick out of these keyboard warriors talking shit about others because they happen to have a different opinion, or make different decisions, for reasons they don't have a fucking clue about.

Chief normally I tend to agree with your reasonable and level-headed opinions, but if you're gonna say some shit like this at least enlighten us.

Enlighten you about what exactly?

SS called a large portion of the population a strange bunch, seemingly because he disagrees with their beliefs and/or decisions. I'm saying he has no fucking clue. I don't know if that is enlightening or not.

Like I said, it's funny to see people like him talk shit behind their keyboards about those they disagree with, not knowing their particular rationale for making the decisions they do.

It's all good. Putting large swaths of people into one bucket is the new thing to do I guess. Like those 60,000,000 + deplorables...

Back to football.

For me covid in relation to sports - guys will do anything to win - and I mean anything. They would kill people if it enhanced their ability to play football. They will take years off their life leading with their head on every other play. But they won't get a shot? Even when you know without a doubt (it doesn't matter if the vaccine is effective or not) that not getting a vaccine will actively hurt the team and make it tougher for the next season?
