Football players can not function if they play in fear of injury.

Some of you are asking 18-22 year olds to not play in a competitive football game for two whole years. Sorry. I’m not in that camp. If the players want to play (and apparently Towson didn’t), let them play.

Still a natty to play for this spring, right?

You realize that football is played one season a year for a reason. That reason isn't fear. It's for the health of the players. If you haven't played the game you do not in ANY WAY understand the physical toll two seasons in one year will take on an individual. If you have played the game then your memory is short.

So NFL players can play 4 preseason games then 16-19 games but guys a couple years younger can't play 6 in March then 11 five months later?

Yes. That is exactly what I am saying. Ideally teams will have time to recover from a season and then train to be ready for the following season. Playing a short season in the spring and then starting again in late august doesn’t provide that opportunity. Honestly, it would be easier for an nfl player to do this than a college student who has a ton less time available for treatments and physical recovery.
My point all along is I don’t think it is worth it to play in the spring when a fall season looks to possibly be free from COVID restrictions. Or a lot less than now. If they play and fans are allowed, I will be there. Simply saying I believe they should wait and it would be better for the athletes.
