The other was that oline men from California. Those are the only I know of so far. Might want to check on the olineman from California again that’s California University in PA and he died from a blood clot and his team had called the season and he was not involved in football in anyway while he died from not Covid. I am not as sure about the Colorado kid but I’m going to guess if he died from Covid it would have been after the season got called (given the timing of the schedule but it maybe possible).

Oline guy died of covid. I didn’t follow the story closely but: College Football’s Worst Fear in the Pandemic: The Death of a Player - The New York Times Jamain Stephens was known as a big man on campus. His death... The baseball guy caught it at home while on spring break. I guess covid can enlarge your heart. Who knew? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was retracted the very next day, it was a blood clot unrelated to Covid. 5 seconds worth of research will tell you that also it will explain that to you also it matters that none of the people were engaged in athletics when the argument is we have to shut down athletics to protect them from dying of Covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe nobody died because 118 games were cancelled preventing the outbreaks that would have resulted in mass casualties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s probably it but that they were in a structured situation that has rules, testing and can easily cancel practice and games speaks to my argument that young people playing structured sports was not the high risk negligent affair some were claiming. The death rate for their age group is nominal and as no one can completely avoid risk having a place that has structure and testing should prove safer than running amuck at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are preaching to the choir, there were rumors that over the past few months that Fauci has been reaching out to you on advice on how to handle the Rona. Keep doing what you are doing, you are making a difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
