My apologies, you probably have no idea what callous means: Callous is showing or having an insensitive and cruel disregard for others. Your response to a seven year old dying is sickeningWhat is your point?

The NFL players who opted out are gone, the college football season is about to go dark and the OHSAA wants to piecemeal the schedules of remaining participants with a 'make it up by the seat of your pants' tournament that is all about the money and not safety to the families, students and schools themselves. If the season is not moved to spring with an April, May, June calendar by midnight tonight, there will be lawyers lining up to play for this fall and we know how that will turn out. Helmets are worn for protection, how can you protect students and their families against what you can not see?
Move it or lose it, time for a uniform decision...

Seriously? All deaths are unfortunate, but all risk cannot be eliminated. To think is can be, is really scary. The risk for COVID is tiny. 13,000 kids died from something other than COVID since Feb, and you think I'm being callous?Seriously!? This is definitely an outlier case but your callous demeanor is scary.

Do all of these young people merit your concern? They are the result of these ridiculous lock downs. You see, this isn't binary. Millions have been negatively impacted in a major way by shutting things down. Yet I am the callous one?

Telling someone you do not know, that you care more about something than they do, is a silly thing to say. And a terrible way to argue.
Not sure why you added so much irrelevant commentary and shows you were unable to comprehend my response. Only thing I commented about what your dismissive comment in regards to a 7 year old dying. That’s it and that’s all. Nothing else was said. Yes everyone is going to die and we take a lot of risks in life but to say what’s your point? about someone dying is callous! To justify your remark shows your lack of empathy. Let’s hear some more justification for your disregard of a 7 year old passing away.Do all of these young people merit your concern?

You are continuing to demonstrate your binary thinking. That the only thing that matters is COVID. No one should ever die form COVID, and all of our decisions should be driven in a direction that will stamp out COVID, nothing else matters. You have no idea how much empathy I have, and it is amazing that you think you do.Not sure why you added so much irrelevant commentary and shows you were unable to comprehend my response.

Again you miss the point. I am not worried about what caused the passing it’s that someone passed away and your response was what’s your point? If that shows empathy our perceptions are completely different. Keep justifying your comment though. Good job. Have a nice weekend.You are continuing to demonstrate your binary thinking.

Look you can keep harping on about you having more empathy than me, but you can't actually know that, and it is completely silly to even think in those terms. The person offered up a fact, with no context. That was the reason for my question of, "what is your point?". Was he suggesting that since a 7 year old had died that we need to rethink what we are doing? Did he think that now all previous arguments were made moot? I'm guessing that since you know exactly how much empathy I have, you must also know what context was associated with his post.Again you miss the point.

There seems to be a fundamental disconnect in regards to their ability to see the larger picture. It is baffling.This is what I find so frustrating about some of the posters on this thread. They act as if it's a simple binary decision:
Option 1: Play the season and increase the risk of spreading covid and kids getting sick and even dying.
Option 2: Don't play and there is no risk.
Sure if you play there are heightened risks in the absolute. But the science is clear that those risks to the teenage demographic are minuscule.
If you don't play there is NO evidence that covid won't still be spread by this demographic. In fact common sense would indicate that the kids will still socialize among themselves violating all the mitigation rules. Playing or not playing won't impact the spread of covid.
The collateral damage of not playing is pretty obvious. From a growing sense of despair in a teenage demographic where suicide is already the 2nd leading cause of death to the frustration of losing out on the economic and educational opportunities that extracurricular activities give you. Remember the band kids also get scholarship offers for their work.
For a lot of kids the structure and experience of extracurricular activities is the only thing keeping them from falling between the educational & behavioral cracks and ruining their lives.
And let's not forget the invaluable life lessons taught by participation in extracurricular activities.
This decision must be made taking ALL factors into account and must reflect the least damaging choice for all involved. And if the decision is made this way I can't see how it doesn't allow extracurricular activities to proceed.
So you still a coward and think we should push it back....?The NFL players who opted out are gone, the college football season is about to go dark and the OHSAA wants to piecemeal the schedules of remaining participants with a 'make it up by the seat of your pants' tournament that is all about the money and not safety to the families, students and schools themselves.

The concern is how they will do when 30,000 other students arrive on campus, who are not bound by the same strict protocols.Nine Sooners positive as team returns from break
After a break from preseason practice due to the season opener being pushed back, Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said nine Sooners tested positive for COVID-19 after Friday's round of testing.www.espn.com
They have done better while in the program's guidlines.
Exactly, my point is the scholarship football team is not the problem. So to cancel football but bring in 30,000 paying customers may shed some light on some of the college presidents choices.The concern is how they will do when 30,000 other students arrive on campus, who are not bound by the same strict protocols.
They are cancelling football because they don't believe it's feasible to have a season once the team members are exposed again and again to the student body at large. There will be positive tests every week, most likely. Though I believe the biggest driver is fear of lawsuits.Exactly, my point is the scholarship football team is not the problem.

Yes, heart issues can also (though rarely) occur with the flu and pnuemonia . This happened to my brother. He’s fine, great shape, runs every day. I’m sorry for the family.New to this thread, but please consider this.

According to what they are telling us fans, they are cancelling BIG football because of the potential risk of long term damage to the athletes heart if they test positive for the virus.They are cancelling football because they don't believe it's feasible to have a season once the team members are exposed again and again to the student body at large.

Guess it is only a risk to certain conferences.....According to what they are telling us fans, they are cancelling BIG football because of the potential risk of long term damage to the athletes heart if they test positive for the virus.
Seems the BIG may want to rethink their decision in light of this new test.I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere on this board so excuse me, but Yale and NBA have developed a new fast and inexpensive spit test to detect covid. This is the kind of breakthrough many of us (and hs football fans) have been trying to "hold the fort" for, and hoping for. Too bad it isn't still June. Will it be successful? I hope! Will it impact the decision whether to delay a bit longer? We shall see.

He already did when the ODH said no to Hydroxychloroquine to be dispensed in Ohio. He stopped that right quick.Dewine would have to disregard the ODH directive about testing before each game. How likely do you think it is Dewine will go against the ODH?
