I've muted Teejers, yet I can still see his responses when others reply to his messages. And I saw this:
What a weird position to take. The pandemic doesn't work in a way in which we all know everyone downstream who dies from an infection to any one person. If only we had contact tracing that good. Lord knows we don't. The notion that you would have to prove that x number of people got infected, hospitalized, or died because college football was forced through (something that made the Pac-12 look even more foolish than the SEC or MAC) in order to believe "concrete harm" was done is absurd. Also, college football players are students, at colleges, where students are congregating.

If anyone catching the virus is the harm you're looking to stomp out, perhaps you might look at other communities - for starters, colleges where all students are (or were, before break) congregating, including those not even playing football.
