Today, you gonna let him walk into a locker room with 100 other kids and staffers every day? Practice, sweat and spit every day? Get exposed to 100 kids from an environment over which you or the school have no control (No. Texas, for example)? Run the risk of potentially getting sick?

Not that it matters, but Bobby Wilder said he wouldn't let his kid play under those circumstances. We'll see what happens there w/Derek or whether he was BS'ing WildMan. We'll see what happens with his kid at Navy.

Yes, I absolutely would let him play. I would tell him that it is ultimately his decision, and if he is uncomfortable he doesn't have to, but I would not discourage him.

Would you let him go visit his 85 year old grand mother and come home for dinner and to do laundry every Wednesday. It is his decision to play, but who decided that it was okay for him to wonder the world and infect others because he decided to play football?

1. No he should be smart enough to stay away from grandma.

2. These kids are being tested constantly, so they are better positioned to make those decisions than the rest of the population.

LOL!
Not true at all. A Covid year runs about $100-150 a piece, so each round of testing is about $8500 (assuming they don’t bring the walk-ons to campus).

I doubt they will be tested more than once, unless someone shows symptoms.

It amazes me that you’re okay with the potential of someone else’s child getting sick so that you can watch a football game. Does that mean you are willing to sacrifice your children’s health for our entertainment?

No, it means that based on actual facts and data, I understand that these kids are not at any more risk than they are from the flu. Why do you need to immediately accuse people of ill will when they don't agree with your position?
