The NFL should also stop playing. The NBA has proven it can play in a bubble, but the NFL clearly is not doing enough to stop infection spread. keeping these games going, and allowing Thanksgiving gatherings to go on sets a toned of normalization that is going to set us up for a truly unfathomably terrible December.
I see what you did there.
Thanksgiving gatherings and the risk/wisdom of same are completely independent of football games. As noted by Magnus, the games aren't anywhere near the problem that everyday life/community spread is.
Not sure why everyone is in a dither over this. So another college game isn't going to be played. BFD (especially as it is between Stanford and WSU - nobody cares). At some point down the road, we'll look up (or come out of hiding, or whatever we're all doing now) and the "season" will be over. Some teams may have played 10-11 games; some teams in the 0-3 games range; and who knows, there might even be a CFP and a "national champeen" crowned. Good for them. It's fine with me if it happens; it's fine with me if it doesn't. [BTW, I imagine kids in minor sports -not just football - and their families really want the games to go on, for obvious reasons].
It's like you all want to be Dean Wormer: "No more fun of any kind!" (for anyone).
