SirAndrew Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) 41 minutes ago, Logic said: He didn’t say that. He said the NFL would encourage people over 70 not to come. Why is that hard to believe? It seems perfectly reasonable to me. Because it doesn’t make sense to me. The stats show that being 60, or even 50 plus can be really bad with this virus. 70 isn’t some magic number, and it’s just another random bit of nonsense someone threw out. They’ll also need to encourage anyone with pre existing conditions to stay home, regardless of age. For that matter, maybe they should just ask men to stay home since this virus is twice as deadly to men. My point is that 70 isn’t some magic number. If all we need to do is protect people over 70, why not end this all, and just tell people 70 plus to stay home. Yes, older people are more likely to suffer complications from this virus, but 70 isn’t the magic number where it becomes dangerous. The virus becomes more fatal as age increases, like anything else, but is being 62 any better than being 70? Not really. If age suggestions are in place for stadium admittance, that means there will be no fans this year imo. The point of prohibiting large gathering is to protect those vulnerable to the virus as well. If you have 70,000 thirty year olds gathered in a stadium passing germs, they bring them back into the community to pass on to the older folks as well. There won’t be fans if we are still this concerned with the virus in the fall imo. I’m not an expert by any means, but I just don’t see this scenario.

So my wife had a friend from high school that booked a flight in very early March to come visit us in south Florida mid-march. If the flight had been the next day I would have said heck no, she needs to cancel, but seeing it was a bit less than three weeks away, I just let it ride and things took care of themselves in terms of people not flying. This will be the same way...lol at thinking there will be 70k screaming people in stadiums...screaming and spitting on all the people in the rows below them. I mean it's not impossible I guess, but I think setting your slim hopes on any season at all would be a better use of your time...lol and at the start of flu season where the beds are going to fill up from that already...(I know I may come across like I think this is funny, it's not, it really sucks...I have a 4 month old that I'm concerned that a lot of my family basically halfway across the country in rochester that I'm not sure when he will see them...genuinely could be years...unless we move north a ways, which is looking very likely). Wait, I'm not taking my advice and just letting it ride...yeah we'll see, hopefully they let people drink, but whatever, I don't usually drink inside sporting events too much, because it makes me miss too much of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the third or fourth day I accepted it. What do I get from complaining? NOTHING!!!

Yeah, I read the article slightly wrong, as someone pointed out. I guess they might “suggest” fans over 70 stay home. Just seems like an arbitrary number written by someone without much knowledge. I rarely see anyone over 70 at New Era anyway. I’d assume that crowd is more likely to be in a suite or something to begin with. 1 minute ago, Mrbojanglezs said: Once you give up freedom it's harder to get it back. Amen.

I can certainly enjoy it from my couch. I don’t see how they can get away with the age discrimination as that is a lawsuit waiting to happen. They can put in the tickets discouraging people over a certain age not to go, but they won’t Bam them. Ban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
