Who cares if they knew each other or not? That in no way explains or justifies the officer pinning his neck with his knee for over 8 minutes while he was already restrained and had back up.

You're absolutely right. My point is that it may have been a stupid payback for a past incident instead of being racial. He seems to be the vindictive type. I am sure he didn't mean to actually kill him.

Sorry PM. Just replying to the post. But it's important because cities are burning because this was a "racially motivated" thing. But what if race had nothing to do with it? I think if he considered it payback time for something done in the past, he would have done the same thing if Floyd was white.

It’s all good. I just think we all need to focus on The Main Thing. The people burning cities have lost site of it. And people trying to say “well he had a criminal background “ or “they knew each other” missing it.
When I hear things like that it almost sounds like people are saying “he deserved it”. I know that’s not the intent but it’s the logical conclusion. Conversely I’m not sure how Floyd’s death translates into taking down Confederate statues and the formation of CHAZ

Yet they'll never take down Albert Pike's statue in D.C. Of course they have their reasons and it'll never be brought up :lol: . CHAZ is just an experiment; they're being allowed to "exist" although it will not be long if the government stop bringing in supplies so the people don't starve.

Just when it looked like 2020 season was doable - Media hyping the rash of new cases but crickets on the fact the virus is completely different than it was 2 months ago - just as it is in Italy where symptoms are more mild than the flu ( on the few cases that have symptoms ) and samples show it has lost a gene and is not even close to original. We won’t hear that on the news...just takes a handful of college ad’s and Presidents to derail the rest of teams.

COVID-19 is weakening, could die out without vaccine, specialist claims

I believe there's some funny Covid19 test reporting going on myself?

I'm not very optimistic about playing this season. Looks like one political party has a strategy to pump up the covin19 numbers to tank the economy in an effort to win an election. If so it most likely tanks the season.

I believe a plausible scenario is the first set of games are played, and if there is an outbreak among the players or the fans that could result in the cancellation of future weeks. The odds of a multi-week season are low IMO unless there is a drastic drop in infection rates very soon.

I think football gets played but I would be really surprised if fans will be part of the scenario. Fans potentiallg traveling from hot spot areas is a risk im sure a lot of schools want to make. Now lower level programs? FCS and some low end FBS programs and lower may be forced to cancel things without fans as they won't have tv money to fall back on.

In doesn't really matter political affiliation, organizations don't want to take the risk. I don't blame them.

I could see Liberty going reduced capacity. They could do that and get every season ticket holder in and still have room left over. The max season ticket allotment is 6. So 6 seats available, 6 not.

Right now, the biggest problem I see is , no one is in charge of NCAA football. We have about 400 people (coaches, ADs, Commissioners, Doctors, and Politicans) going in different directions.

Yes, because we all know how swimmingly things go when you have one person with absolute authority.

Looks like they actually allowed it to happen. I wonder what plan they have in mind.

I agree @ballcoach15 !!

I know it's harder these days to keep politics out of sports discussions but let's at least try our best. Plenty of other topics in other Sub-Forums to discuss the way COVID is being politicized.

I'm not saying there isn't a place for it. But for the sake of our sanity, let's keep it in the courtyard vs our 2020 hype thread.

All politics and social issue_______ should be kept out of sports. Just play ball and try to win a championship.
