We need to get students back to school. Not only to have sports, but also to keep them off the streets. After six months of nothing to do:, no jobs, no entertainment, no dating and no anything except social distancing, how can we expect anything else but street parties (i.e., protests). Unfortunately, our kids don't have the experience to understand they're being played like a drum by the politicized groups. The country need to open up as the entire SEC schools are.
As for people filling the stadiums, why not? If we keep the fans away, the enthusiasm for each school's rivalries will surely take a hit. Moreover, sportsmanship, school pride and social renewal will take a back seat to those self appointed health experts who lecture us about the merits of inactivity.
I probably shouldn't say this, but we are told that there will be 200,000 people die with CV-19 by October at the current rate. I am not a health expert but that death rate is for 10 months, and it is far less than the normal US death rate for a single month without the disease. I hate to see useless deaths, but I believe we have done our job to flatten the curve as we we asked to do. Frankly, I am losing trust in our health experts because they are constantly moving the bar. Do they really have a clue and what does it mean to die "with" not "from" CV-19?
I am in my mid-70s and can't wait to enjoy football and BHG again. It will be great for our state and give our kids something constructive to do when not attending classes. It is certainly better than seeing them in the streets enabling the activists.
