Re: We want to play movement
They should. Players have always played with significant risk. Risk of CTE, Suicide and depression, addiction to pain meds, and paralysis weren’t enough to make society stop and think about the safety of football players but a virus with a statistically rare chance of significant illness leading to death does?

The teams should just get together at a designated time each Saturday and hold a 60 minute peaceful protest. Maybe taking a break every 15 minutes to think about the issues plaguing humanity before going back out to protest again.

Re: We want to play movement
I grew up in a town with 2 elementary schools. We did not have a youth football program in town - you didn't start playing organized football until high school, which was 10th grade at the time.hipsterdoofus21 wrote: ↑August 10th, 2020, 2:18 pmThe teams should just get together at a designated time each Saturday and hold a 60 minute peaceful protest.

To get our football fix, we organized after-school games with the other elementary school. We would delineate a playing field at the city park with jackets, bicycles, trees, sprinkler risers, whatever. We would get together regularly after school to "practice". This would consist of designing plays (which would never work in games) and deciding who was going to play what position. Our equipment consisted mostly of those cheap plastic NFL replica helmets with a little foam padding glued to the inside - mostly single or double-bar facemasks. Some kids actually had football pants with knee and thigh pads sewn in (that was the kids from the opposing "rich" school). The rest of us wore Levi's or sweat pants. A couple kids wore metal baseball spikes to play in (I have a scar on my back where one of them stepped on me to prove it). It was cold. It was muddy. We had no idea what we were doing. We had the time of our lives for those two football seasons (fifth and sixth grade).

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Finebaum says he thinks the sec will pull this off to some type of degree. Guess we all are gonna have to be sec fans. since I lived in Alabama for a couple years it’s been easy to pull for the tide. Roll tide baby!

Every time I have had a minor injury the doctor wants me out for a lot longer than reasonable.hipsterdoofus21 wrote: ↑August 10th, 2020, 8:53 amThey should.

A couple years back I broke my finger playing flag football. The doctor wanted me to sit out from flag football, hockey, lifting and have my finger in a splint for 6 weeks. All for a finger I barely wanted to go in for.I worked around it during my lights and was fine coming back to other activity for a week.
Although I appreciate caution medical professionals don’t give enough consideration to how over cautiousness affects people

Re: We want to play movement
I just wish the University presidents and AD's would drop the bs "player safety and well being" line and explain the real reason for cancelling. They are absolving themselves from scrutiny. Very well could backfire on them. After all tommy tackler just wants to play foosball.

Re: We want to play movement
Most of the decisions made about the coronavirus are conservative because you don't want to be the person who decided to play and then have everyone get sick. This really got going when Rudy Gobert mocked the coronavirus and touched everyone's microphone. He then tested positive. No one wants to be that guy.

Interesting you lived there for a couple of years. Was it two years? Did you live in several different areas of the state? I did and became an Alabama fan while there culminating in them beating Miami for the national championship a week before I went home!
