Let’s be clear... certain agenda-driven dumbshits want to shutdown college football over this:

Also reasonable minds want to know why this condition has not raised red flags from any of the other countless number of sports that have successfully returned during the pandemic. [Reply]

You've been wrong since March. Sit this one out. [Reply]

And I’m not in the “only virus is the media” camp, but we need to accept reality at some point here...
I have completely accepted the reality that most of Europe can have nice things like soccer because their societies have their act together enough to keep the virus suppressed to a reasonably low level.
And the US can't have nice things like football this fall because our society does not have its act together enough to suppress the virus to a reasonably low level.

Translation... you can't answer the question.
Again why hasn't this heart issue based on "limited studies and anecdotal evidence" raised red flags by the NFL? MLB? NBA? NHL? International soccer leagues? Boxers? MMA fighters?
We are supposed to believe that this heart condition only applies to college football athletes?

I would imagine most people hospitalized with Covid-19 would have at least temporary myocarditis. The milder cases go away without long term damage but the severe cases can cause irreversible damage two days after getting out of the hospital.
Nonetheless, we would want to determine the frequency and severity of this condition in our studies compared to other illnesses. When someone gets hospitalized with other conditions do we determine if they have myocardtis? Nonetheless, it certainly does not bode well for the public perception, though.
My 89 year old grandma caught influenza two years ago, then came down with pneumonia. Felt fine and then died from cardiac arrest from acute myocarditis while trying to go sell antiques. She had no previous heart problems of any kind. No heart attacks. Did not have high blood pressure. For an 89 year old lady was very healthy. [Reply]
The "We Want to Play" stuff from a marketing standpoint is genius. One side won't read into it and they'll support it because "let's get things back to normal PLAY SOME FOOTBALL!" The other side knows what it's really about and is like "Yeah we support that."

Somebody earned their marketing payday.
The college football season would have been cancelled in June if it wasn't an $11 billion dollar industry. [Reply]
