Wow. What a heartbreaker for those guys and their fans. Too bad there isn’t more money at stake like there is with professional sports, where a game of such magnitude would have simply been postponed. Tough pill for those guys to swallow, especially when you consider nobody is actually even sick.

More BS covid crap. Time to move along
Mildly shocked the entire team hasn’t been vaccinated by this point.
They might have been. Vaccinated people still test positive. All of the Yankees coaches who tested positive had been vaccinated. They are testing people who don’t need to be tested. If the team hasn’t been vaxx’d then I can guarantee the susceptible people around the team have been - coaches, trainers, support staff, umpires, etc. Foolishness.
Then if that’s the case they should mask up and make sure they are keeping distance. If someone has been vaccinated and is still held out, it seems to be an over abundance of caution that isn’t helpful
The same kids who just got kicked out can go buy a ticket, walk in and squeeze into the sold out crowd. NCAA will gladly take their money…
Yet they can’t play out on a spaced out field…
Cause the protocols set 3 months ago are still being used. Has your world changed in the last 3 months? Well, (shockingly) the NCAA is a little behind.
The percentages say that these kids, and those around them, are more likely to be struck by lightning in the fourth inning than they are to fall seriously ill these days. Might wanna move the finals to a dome to stay safe…
This crisis has revealed how deep the paranoid insanity has penetrated in this country. Protocols are not some deep state plot, they are common sense measures needed to save lives.
So far this thread hasn’t veered into the political. Let’s keep it that way.
Just a small sample to illustrate a point - Fulton Co has a population of 1.7 million people. In the past 28 days, a total of 13 people have died as an “attributed” result of covid. Thirteen out of 1,700,000,000.
Of those, 100% are over the age of 50. The demographic breakdown is as follows: 1 person was asian, 1 person was caucasian, 9 were black, and 2 were “other.”
I’m not sure “common sense” is really applicable in a decision to keep 18-22 year college baseball players off of the field.
I disagree and I'm amazed so many people seem to not understand the meaning behind the concept of ''greater good'' in context to limiting the spread of a communicable virus.
Debating this is pointless now though, opinions are cemented. I will say your focus on race is odd.
I am all for the greater good…
But when 23,000 maskless fans pile into a stadium - vaccinated or not, no one knows - to watch two teams, the actions of those 50 players on the field pales in comparison to the actions of the general public.
My main point is that, in June 2021, we could probably come up with a scenario where everyone is “safe” and the guys still play…
Hate it for NC State. I’ve learned to detest Vandy after the “stunt” they pulled during football season. They shouldn’t be on the gifted end of anything in my book.
I think proof of vaccination should be required to enter any NCAA event through 2021. Too many people are spreading the idea that ''it's over'', I think it's due to factors other than the facts at hand. We need to see what happens during flu season before letting our collective guard down. I've had both shots and I carry the card in my wallet. If any proprietor requests I show it before entering their establishment, I'll be happy to oblige.
If you have been vaccinated you are not contagious if you have Covid.
Well that might work in a country that is not divided over having to show ID to vote..what kind of response do you expect from having to present proof you have had a shot?
Everybody should know the rule before they buy their tickets and drive to Athens. I agree many would choose not to attend in protest though. The almighty dollar would probably pander to the loons.
