Huge mistake to not play by the BIG 10, politics dominated decision. Will adversely affect brand for some time. ...not as serious about football as we are in the Texas or the South.
It's a bad flu for college kids. Hope a bunch of kids get it and whip it's a$$., build immunity.
People filled with hate have it so easy. They don't need to know or think, they can just feel.
Everything you write is false.
The B1G's decision wasn't simply about "politics." You can't "whip COVID-19's ass" and build immunity. Many people who get it aren't recovering (they are suffering long-term damage) and the antibodies for some people who "recover" only last 2-4 weeks.
This is just one of hundreds of articles on the subject.

Here's another, specifically about B1G athletes.

Dozens of studies have been pouring in regarding the long-term health damage caused by COVID-19, and one of the B1G's deciding factors was the fact that 1/3 of their athletes who "recovered" from COVID-19 the heart condition myocarditis.
They are reconvening (possibly today) to study more medical information that we've learned during the past few weeks (since their decision).
If you mean that Midwesterners aren't as "serious about football" as a state that produced George Bush and, until recently, allowed alcohol and firearms in a moving vehicle, then, yes, we don't think using college kids as lab monkeys for our entertainment is "serious football."
BTW, have you been seeking to expose yourself to the virus so you can "whip it's ass and build immunity?" Oh, and because you're not a Socialist, once you get it, you won't ask for access to our healthcare facilities, medicines, workers and insurance, correct?
