JFC this thread is an abortion.
For those of you who chose “The unknown scares me (for them) and they shouldn't be playing at all” – WHY?!?!
Through this entire ordeal of booting college football back up, among other attempted reboots such as grade school kids returning to K-12 classes, two words have been bastardized as excuses to keep everything shut down: "unknown" and “contagious.”
Yes, COVID has
medical unknowns, but statistically speaking (emphasizing
statistically) driving your car to the post office comes with unknown risks. And the same goes for leaning on the “contagious” excuse. Again, statistically speaking, car wrecks carry a numerically raw statistical
inevitability that follows the similarly varying (though predictable) probability rates as living in a reality of other contagious illnesses, such as the common flu that goes around every year.
Again, the “unknown” and “contagious” excuses have been intentionally bastardized to bypass properly equating COVID likelihoods into statistical terms by which we daily cope with a reality filled with other statistical unknowns and inevitabilities.
We’re at a point where those who want to move on and return to functionality (SEC, ACC, private K-12 schools) should be allowed to take on the risk. And for those who want to wallow in self-loathing uncertainty (PAC 12, California public K-12 schools) should continue sitting on their hands while the rest of the world passes them by.
