Trump Is The Main Reason We Won't Have College Football


Let me apologize for this website. It’s a jumpy mess but the article is pretty good as well as others.

As usual, the idiot in the Oval is clueless to what’s going on, as Lawrence’s original tweet was a unified statement from players like Ohio State’s Justin Fields, Oklahoma State RB Chuba Hubbard, and others informing the world that they indeed want to play this season, but with caveats.


Because Trump and his cronies are the ill-equipped culprits in the mismanagement of a virus that has killed over 164,000 Americans. To no one’s surprise, the same man that fed the sport’s national champions fast food, wants them to play during a pandemic, without a plan, as the virus is causing some in the sport to have myocarditis, a lethal heart disease.

On Sunday, Slate released a report that “documents Trump’s interference or negligence in every stage of the government’s failure: preparation, mobilization, public communication, testing, mitigation, and reopening,” when it comes to how this administration has failed America, and consequently college football, when it comes to the coronavirus.


Saturdays in the fall are an American religion, but we’re stuck with a cultural atheist in the White House. It’s why I’m proposing that we treat this upcoming Election Day as if it was the College Football National Championship Game.

All they talk about is how it’s all the liberal media’s fault. It’s overblown and we could just get herd immunity. The players are young healthy guys that can handle it. Let them play. They blame democrats for no football. That’s their view.

The heart ailment thing though is no joke. UVA players will do EKG’s every other week from what I’ve heard.
