Trump Is The Main Reason We Won't Have College Football
Let me apologize for this website. Its a jumpy mess but the article is pretty good as well as others.

As usual, the idiot in the Oval is clueless to whats going on, as Lawrences original tweet was a unified statement from players like Ohio States 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 ones surprise, the same man that fed the sports 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 Trumps interference or negligence in every stage of the governments 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 were stuck with a cultural atheist in the White House. Its why Im proposing that we treat this upcoming Election Day as if it was the College Football National Championship Game.

All they talk about is how its all the liberal medias fault. Its 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. Thats their view.

The heart ailment thing though is no joke. UVA players will do EKGs every other week from what Ive heard.
