Lol...do a little research, why dontcha'. Debating your brain, is like fighting a one armed man. Use the logic side, this time.
If you think we sauntered through that "Pandemic period" with no effect...well, you can just standby, with most of the other mental midgets that allowed kids to be kept home, to keep em from gettin' a darned cold. On, the computer and phone, no less??? Now, who's being dense? Lol
And, I'm not "blaming" anything on "The pandemic". Just pointing out, it is and will be, a prevailing factor....and, one that we've never experienced before. It has nothing to do with a particular "action"...but, translates more to "mindset".
The likelihood could be "higher" or "lower", that a kid living through that era was negatively effected. We won't know, for probably another 10 to 15 years...in hindsight. It also depends on "the kid" and "the environment".
"LOL Do you really believe that "isolating" at home with their families, cell phones, TV's, video games, internet, snap chat, tik tok , etc etc has caused young people to make bad decisions or become brain damaged in some way?"____ @UGADad20
Now, who's making "ridiculous statements"? Good job!
Giving you full credit for the words above....my resounding answer is....not yes...but, HELL YES!
Every family didn't have a bunch of phones, or two or 3 computers to share...or a Parent to stay home and make sure the kids were doing what they were supposed to do. Some couldn't afford food, rent and utilities...much less internet or phone service.
They don't talk about "those people" on the news. You only hear about the success stories...because that's politics, baby. And, in this day and age...that trumps everything, cause it's all about maintaining "The Narrative"...not the truth. It's like we're living in some twisted matrix. Lol
But it's wise to keep it in mind and measure pre-pandemic criminality against post-pandemic criminality. Cause and effect.
My bet is on "negative effect", particularly on the kids of that era...but, that's just me. I've got a brain that can access both sides at the same time. Everything is not "black & white". There's a LOT of grey, right now. The impact of the "Pandemic Lock down" on the kids of that generation hasn't even begun to come into focus, yet. But, there is clearly a "different mindset", among our youth. How could there "not be"? We just aren't sure what it is, yet. IMO
But, to say that it has "nothing to do with it"...is asinine and short-sighted. Why you would even want to debate that point, is beyond me. But, I'll listen.
One more thing...you think Morehead...a mere Administrator...called "Kirby Smart"...multimillion dollar, 2-time National Championship HC...into HIS office? Lmao...what planet do YOU live on? The Athletic Director and HIS staff are more responsible for the deaths of Willock and Bowles than Kirby Smart. It was HIS department's vehicle and HIS staff member driving. If he DID call him in...it was to apologize. But, it's more likely Morehead visited Kirby's office along with the AD...or Skyped him. Lol
I'll take this time to point out...Willock and McClendon did "nothing wrong". For all we know they were asleep, when the whole thing happened. It's far more likely that Bowles and Carter just got a wild hair on their way back and bad stuff happened. I'm so sorry for their loss it hurts. I know what their family and friends are experiencing. But...it was an ACCIDENT!
It's not like they were "throwin' down" or "drifting". If they were...there are better places to do it, where there's no traffic. Put two and two together...use your head.
BTW...as for other Universities...see Alabama. 1 death, in February...2 players arrested...not to mention Eli Rick's being arrested, this time last year, for virtually the same thing they charged Morrissette with. And, that's just off the top of my head. Lol
So i get down voted twice for saying get him some help? Lol! I should of said I suppose don’t get him help. Let the upvotes begin!
@BigDawg61 there is too much ridiculousness and lack of reality in your post to take any time to refute it. It would be useless to try and reason with you.
UGA is way bigger than football. CKS was definitely talked to about what the multiple football indiscretions has done for the reputation of the University of Georgia. They have cast a very unfavorable light upon the entire University. A University of higher learning. Not a University of football. I am sure CKS was embarrassed before he was even talked to.
So your god, Kirby runs and is above everything at UGA but the death of a football player and a football staffer is the "AD and HIS staff " fault? Okay, gotcha.
Oh and they were "asleep" in a racing car going over 100mph? (AJC story). Ridiculous.
We are talking about the incidences of UGA football players. Not the masses below the poverty line. That's when I know you got nothing when you grasp at straws to defend another ridiculous statement. BTW UGA players live like kings in their on campus world. Have you seen their facilities? Before the pandemic. during the pandemic and after the pandemic.
You wanna know why there is more crime now than before the pandemic? Way more than any pandemic effect is because the country is going soft on crime. If there are no consequences there is no reason not to.
AL had 1 death and 2 arrests. I am still waiting for 6 (not counting AGilberts wreck) arrests and 2 deaths. Yeah that's what I thought. So apparently UGA leads the field in off field incidences. May be a time to look at changes in the program.
You don't seem to have enough brain cells, to pick up, what I'm puttin' down, without getting defensive. I think I'll just let this one go. Lol
Go Dawgs!...and Lord Kirby. Lol
