Zero Covid Deaths Among Students

Also, the tournament is more than a month away. I'm not blaming you for being a Karen and going into hysterics. The media has trained you to be like that.

South Dakota had the nation’s highest rate of positive tests over the last 14 days, according to the COVID Tracking Project. I sure wouldn't want to hang out at a basketball game in that area right now. I just find it ironic they'd pick this specific city to avoid Covid when it's in fact the hardest hit right now. But most likely that's why they picked it. They have no Covid restrictions and thus explains why the situation is so bad there. Sure it might be better in a month, but the trends say it's only getting worse, especially with a governor who is in denial. This in my opinion is most likely the reason Duke backed out. And I don't blame them. Is there even going to be a "bubble" like with the NBA tournament? I highly doubt it. Just better hope most of our players have already had it, because if they're going to get it, this is where it's going to happen.

Dude, you're getting owned. Best to just turtle-down on this one.

I did not intend to turn this into a political thing. I was just commenting on how weird it was to move the tournament to what is in fact the area of the country that is being the hardest hit at this moment. It's as if the organizers were thinking, where can we "safely" schedule this to have no worries about it being cancelled again due to Covid. That HAD to have been their thinking. Otherwise WHY South Dakota?! Take politics out of it. The same mentality went into scheduling this that went into trying to reschedule the RNC to Jackonsville. And you see how that turned out.

They did not plan this Monday morning... They moved it weeks or probably months ago. It is kind of tough to predict where the virus is going to spike weeks ahead. And in all likelihood by the time the tournament comes around SD will no longer be a "hot spot"

So you're admitting Republicans are in denial about it? Doesn't matter to me what party they are from, just the fact they are in denial. Regardless of party, I'd say the greatest mass murderer of the 21st century in the US so far (by far) is Trump due to his covid mishandling. No one comes close to Trump's record on murders, however the South Dakota governor is in a solid second place due to the one single decision of allowing the Sturgis event to go on without restrictions. Where as Trump's ineptitude cost 100,000+ lives, that single Sturgis decision will have cost at least 10,000+ lives by the time it's all said and done.

Please listen to Ike, the word on the street is
If u r afraid of exposure to covid please stay home. Watch t.v., listen to music, sing,dance sip coffee or fine wine
Or cheap wine if you're broke. Ike had a Dude on the street tell him that having a little alcohol flowing through his veins has kept him covid free and he was mask free. Ike does not agree with this Dude but he's entitled to his opinion.
Ike must once again remind Dudes if u r vulnerable and lliving in fear please STAY HOME, if not do as Ike does
Glove up, Mask up and please use hand SANITIZER , Ike sanitizes from the top of arms to his finger tips.

Back on topic
Ike feels a trip to myrtle beach classic would be wonderful, decent weather, beautiful beaches and plenty to do for the entire family.. Ike will tell TIGERNATION the weather is very pleasant that time of year but, the ocean will be a. bit chilly However, many Dudes take the plunge and say it's quite refreshing
As a bonus a easier drive from Memphis

Cuomo is the kingpin when it comes to COVID murder. Nothing Trump has done has led to deaths. Pretty much everything Cuomo did led directly to death.
But I'll let Stammers share the details with you...

The whole Trump to blame thing is beyond idiotic. Trump tried to send federal agents to Democrat states to prevent federal buildings from being destroyed, including Portland where attempts were made to set a building on fire that still had people in it. In exchange for this, the pieces of trash in Seattle, Portland and Chicago blamed him for the violence and wouldn't allow any help at all.

NOT telling them what to do or forcing them to do anything; just agents to prevent federal buildings from being destroyed.

So knowing that, someone would have to be a moron to think that Trump was to blame on three fronts. One, Democrat run states would never listen, two, it is idiotic to think that Trump could have come up with a one size fits all plan for let's say, New Jersey and Montana. Every state is different and had different circumstances.

Three, like a typical liberal, you aren't blaming Cuomo for directly killing tens of thousands of seniors by sending them back to nursing homes. Again, IF the states of New York and New Jersey were a country, they would have the 5th highest deaths of any country, and they would have by far the highest number of deaths per million than any other country.

So to recap, pieces of **** like Lightfoot, Durkin, Wheeler and Cuomo would never do anything that Trump suggests; handled everything their way, but it is supposedly Trump's fault.

Quote:Where as Trump's ineptitude cost 100,000+ lives, that single Sturgis decision will have cost at least 10,000+ lives by the time it's all said and done.

It's amazing that liberal clowns can wave a magic wand and come up with supposed data on Trump and Sturgis. Is there any data out there on how many deaths the protests have caused? Even one?

Scorpius makes 90% of his posts in the religious forum, barely has anything to say about sports, and out of nowhere goes on a rant. The leagues, the players, the politicians and the media have made all sports political. Before this happened, every rare stray political post was moved or deleted. Now, every opinion about everything is political. There's no getting around it.

There are lots of posts in this thread that aren't political, including many of my own. Focus on those.
