Freedom is always the right choice. Most people don't like being dictated to.
@GrayDawg AMEN!!!
Approaching 150k signatures. Looking like 200k goal will be met by end of day 1. As it gains strength they need to amend to call for resignation of commissioner.
Serious question. How do you feel about seatbelt laws? If more freedom is always the answer and wearing a seatbelt only affects the individual does that make this type of law tyrannical? How about drugs? Are laws designed to protect individuals from themselves inherently bad or are they necessary in some instances?
Tick Tock....
Next political comment gets 2 weeks in the cellar.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to make a political statement at all. I understand you have to consider those that get easily offended though.
Don't slide it in. Warning....
If I’m following your logic the Big 10 Commissioner is enforcing a law by cancelling the season for those student athletes? Of course there isn’t such a law, which is why players are furious.
Do you want the Big 10 NOT to play?
You definitely weren't following the logic. Mods have said not to go down this rabbit hole though
I'm fine with them playing if they do it safely with a plan developed by doctors and infectious disease experts.
Don't twist it again Yale. The topic is about a petition by a player who wants the conference to reconsider. Has nothing to do with a conservative or liberal agenda that a few wanted to take it to. The "rabbit hole" is trying to keep it on topic, without any political agenda. Nothing political in what @Bum stated, so no rabbit whole.
I wasn't talking about Bum but myself. I didn't want to rehash my position to him and get locked for going off topic.
And @PhineasGage , yes it's OT and no need to let me know. I'm trying to keep it on.
He rode a blazing saddle;
He wore a shining star;
His job to offer battle;
To spineless bureaucrats;
Near and far!
2020 has been such a crazy and strange year that Fields returning to Athens wouldn’t surprise me at all. Hell, he may lead us to a natty
178,000 signatures day 1. I’ve never followed a petition really, is that a lot? Sure seems like a lot...
So far no statement from commish. Ryan Day supports the petition, which is awesome.
Quick research from whitehouse.gov -if a petition reaches 100k signatures in 30 days, it merits review and an official response. I know this isn’t a petition to the whitehouse, but I think it shows 178k signatures in about 6 hours or so is a lot.
Excuse him while he whips it out
