It's not looking great so far, with dozens of players sick on almost every team...

If one player, who has an undiagnosed condition, dies, then the program will be shut down for the season.

NCAA FB averaged two deaths per season from 2000 to 2016.

RE: Football may not be played at all this year, Fauci warns
Historically, sports has been a thing to release tension and bring people together. With the controversy of the kneeling and whether or not someone is a cultural leader just because they play a game, millionaires who are yakking but sacrificing nothing, might not be so this time. It may just add to the overall dissonance people are feeling.

Hidden by the national events, the c-19 and the arising social awareness is an uptick in urban neighborhood violence that will completely change how kids see humanity. They will be war orphans, which in previous incarnations increased gang and anarchal activity.

There do not seem to be any MLK's rising to lead us out of it. No one seems to be advocating peaceful solutions based upon common values. It's all about power play.

I find 1967-68 to be worse.
1967:
159 US racial riots, 85 dead, 11,000 arrested
11,368 US troops killed in Vietnam
1968:
There was a global pandemic
with 1million dead and 100,000+ in US.
Martin Luther King Jrs'. assassination,
corresponding riots, 45 dead, 20,000 arrests.
16,592 US troops killed in Vietnam.

Fair point. I guess I personally have nothing to base the tensions on because I’m younger than some of you old farts...

Oh right, perspective. Ok, 68 for us was as tense as "The Decision" probably was for your generation but with fewer tears. 03-wink

Boca didn't mention the Bobby Kennedy assasination or the Democratic Convention. Anarchy was a rising thing too. Media wasn't near as pervasive and I was a bit young to understand enough to be traumatized by it all but it seemed a never ending year of distraught. 9/11 certainly comparable.

Difference today is we have a growing group of anarchists that want to take over the country but still have pizza delivered and cops at their beck and call when they need them

Symbionese Liberation Army ring a bell? I don't know about the pizza delivery but generally higher educated, some rich, some middle class, mixed race. Charles Manson was a lot of fun. I seem to recall one of the Presidents was assassinated by an anarchist. Two of them tried to get Ford. Long history of it in this country.
