I realize it's not Warren's job to vote on this, but he damn well can be up front about what the hell is happening. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Just a guess on the number but it is a lot with so many sports and leagues. Bound to be a few with asthma or heart murmur or something surely. Maybe the requires physical needs to prohibit any comorbidity issues if Drs feel a special risk is present. Same with a coach or other staff person. Nothing to stop all sports at this point. There is probably a greater risk to athletes from a car, bus or plane ride to or from a game than the virus. We dont stop sports because an entire team might die in a plane crash God forbid! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

And per the @FrantzHardySwag post, apparently Jamain Stephens didn't even die of Covid, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 1 Quote Link to comment

DevoHusker Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I read yesterday that he had not been on campus since February, and their football team was not practicing or playing this fall. Hard to attribute his passing to football, regardless. Sad when a young person dies no matter the reason. 3 Quote Link to comment

Sad story certainly. How many players die from a baseball hit to the head? A heat stroke? A heart attack? etc. I just dont see the risk being that great as to suffer the loss of all the benefits of sports. Everything in life comes with risks - just getting out of bed or taking a shower or taking most ‘safe’ medicines or eating a chicken wing or lettuce salad can be deadly. 2 Quote Link to comment

What's significant about it (if it was a Covid-related death), is that he's a young man, in the age range of the guys playing football, and it would show they are susceptible to complications, sometimes morbid complications, from the virus. It's stuff like this, and what happened to Feeney, that is keeping the decision-makers in the Big Ten from green-lighting football. I'm not saying they're right, I'm just saying that's what's holding them up. 2 Quote Link to comment

Michigan since I was about 9 years old, but I am not sure if I want to be that anymore. If this season starts it looks like I will have to adopt someone else to follow. Quote Link to comment
