Syracuse football players sit out first practice with coronavirus concerns

[Josh Mack]

It has nothing to do with politics. Most of the people running ACC programs and college football in general are very conservative and it’s my favorite sport. Liberty is an entirely different animal.

I’ve posted this before but there’s nothing good going on at that “university“.

‘Someone’s Gotta Tell the Freakin’ Truth’: Jerry Falwell’s Aides Break Their Silence

More than two dozen current and former Liberty University officials describe a culture of fear and self-dealing at the largest Christian college in the world.

How do you feel about this???

BREAKING: “The Executive Committee of Liberty University’s Board of Trustees, met today and requested that Jerry Falwell, Jr. take an indefinite leave of absence from his roles as President and Chancellor of Liberty University, to which he has agreed, effective immediately.”

I don’t care if we cancel or play that game but if what you say re: illness is true, their team won’t make it the couple months between now and our game; right? If they’re not doing what they should cases will pop up and they’ll have to scrap things or all opponents will be compelled to do so.

I wonder if they think the ACC protocols as a whole are insufficient.

It’s a start.

Yes they do they want better testing
No player wants to test positive not for fear of the virus that is causing 99.9 % of them no harm or symptoms no player wants to sit 3 games if they test positive when more testing of opposing teams can stop positive test .

You make tons of sweeping generalizations, pretending to speak for all the players.

What you're saying might be true for SOME players, but it sure isn't true for the players who are opting out.

I disagree with the 99.9% #, but what player in their right mind wants to lose 3 games? I can't disagree with that. If its X # of players, does the whole team lose 3 games? Thats a big deal, and I can't imagine any player- who say, is asymptotic, and negative in a week, wants to lose 3 games... Or negative players want to lose 1/4 of their season. IF that is the policy? Then I don't see his latter point as a sweeping generalization.

And I tend to believe that you were already banned once from this forum.

Brian Kelly killed a student yet we still play ND. Never lose sight of that

If a roommate has a postits a lost week for many . Baseball has s farm system college football does not itsca crap shoot

If others are less than ours, yep. Everyone is as safe as the lowest standards.

 

[sutomcat]

He said they are scheduled, not returning. They were scheduled the last 2 days. I'll wait til tomorrow.

In the broadcast I watched, he said they are returning to practice tomorrow, implying the reason was Wildhack’s agreement to bump testing to twice a week.

 

[karhre2003]

It’s a sham because legitimate colleges don‘t act like a tax exempt front to direct money and power to the president and his friends. I’m sure there are some good programs there, although personally I would be skeptical of a science degree from Liberty.

Wondering if you’re as skeptical about a science degree from BYU, ND, BC and other Catholic/Christian schools?

 

[dasher]

Many of you can't separate politics from sports. Beyond your personal feelings, why should SU and other schools not play them? Should we treat BYU the same way? How about the service academies?

You didn't just really compare the service academies to Liberty, did you?

 

[dasher]

... Ironic, try being a conservative like Ben Shapiro and speak at SU.

It must be rough. Try being black and being anywhere

You mean like being a Black conservative at an Antifa/BLM riot?

You really want to go there? Really? How many of those black conservatives have been murdered? Or have the crap beat out of them. Or are followed anywhere they go in a store. I figured you wouldn't get it but didn't think you would go that low. How would a black fare at a KKK meeting? Or just for a nice out for a walk in some southern town?

Who murdered him? Please tell me. And I also don't know how conservative he was.

There also isn't enough pages to go over all the blacks that have been murdered by good old boys

This isn't the board for this. You made it about race with your strawman...plus your personal attack on me was uncalled for. Your mind is as closed as those you're are offended at. Goodnight.

You brought up Ben Shapiro as if it was a comparison. i didn't think that was well taken. Because it wasn't.

 

[Bayside44]

If we can can Ben Shapiro and race can we go back making fun of Jerry Falwell Jr? I believe the expression is preachers kid. (Those boys are wide open!$

Not even a little skeptical from the first three. Does Jim Bakker have a Christian school? I would be skeptical of that one.

Do you mean like Jesuit schools? Because, they have a rich tradition of math and science contributions.
