You’re okay with government sanctioned killing over not wearing masks?Rekdiver wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 11:34 amJust wear your mask and be smart....AppinVA wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 10:50 amKilled for not wearing a mask, or for violating curfew?

I know people from all sides of the political spectrum that are guilty of giving zero f's. It's not my fault if you and others want to turn it into a political debate or take it that way. I didn't blame any politician or political party.AppDub wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 10:28 amWhere is the not turning it into a political discussion part?/\PP ST/\TE GRAD 09 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 7:35 amWithout turning this into a political argument that will get sent to the open thread... we'd be in a much better place had we as a nation taken this virus more serious earlier in the year. People insisted on not believing it was real, refuse to wear masks, refuse to socially distance, etc. There were people who went to their respective state capitals with AR-15s claiming having to wear a mask and stores being closed was taking their rights away. My sister and her family live in the Philippines, where if you don't abide by the COVID rules (wearing a mask, abiding by curfew), you're thrown in prison, or in a few cases killed. Her husband works for Cargill which placed them over there...she has now bought a townhouse in the USA and plans to bring the kids back stateside. My point is, people who want to be defiant have no idea. I'm not suggesting our country should have completely shut down for two months, but people should have been more abiding by the rules and suggested precautions months ago.
All it would take is for one player on the team to die, and who will have to take the blame? The fans and players that wanted to continue or the universities who did nothing? Do what just write it off as a cost to giving his all for Appalachian State? I'd assume regardless of your position on this issue you understand how liability works.
Hopefully people will take COVID-19 as a lesson. In many Asian countries even before Covid people wore masks even when they had non life threatening illnesses. Time to have respect for others and not just be selfish because the mask feels uncomfortable.
Lastly, MLS, NBA, NHL all created bubbles which have proven to be effective. That's not a realistic possibility for college football.
We can play a game I call “change the nouns” to see where you draw the line.
