start hyping him up HARD I mean you say he’s the next Kyire and he will be better than Wall. That way we can rip him next season for being a reclassified 18 year old.

I'd rather rip the coach that takes kids who aren't even ranked top 10 on their own respective class, gets them to reclassify into another class where they are even less prepared, and then puts them in situations that would be better suited for veteran players or transcendent OAD players.

I'm not sure I can agree with that.

High school/college kids travel one time per week with one road, one home game/week. Unless they're playing in a tournament, their travel regimen isn't that drastic.

In addition, there are usually only 10-15 guys on their roster. NFL teams almost 50 players and dozens of trainers, coaches, etc. More people = greater chance to get sick, and yet the NFL did fairly well.

It's rather odd.

The NFL has world class testing, monitoring, and healthcare to go along with million dollar salaries. That amount of money provides options that most of the population can't access.

If they get sick or take it home to family, they're on their own. Add that to packed ICU s, new more deadly more infectious virus variants. The risk v/s benefits just don't add up the same.

Closer we get to seeing light at end of tunnel, worst this thing is getting. Just heard from two different people today about people I know in ICU with it. . . . .

Were those whom you know that are now in ICU previously habitual mask-wearers ? Just curious.

I guess he doesn't like basketball.

In all seriousness with what happened to Karl Towns family... I don't blame African Americans for taking extra precaution. Sounds like the virus hits them more deadly.

I have not read a single thing that supports that. Absolutely nothing. Health and personal activity do.

I bet you wear a mask (maybe 2?) in your own home.

Just a wild guess.

32 teams, 50 players, give or take. Now how many colleges and high schools are there in the country?

Kentucky high schools are playing four games a week right now. I assume they are trying to get in as many as they can during the times they or the team they are playing isn't locked down because of Covid. I just browsed the schedule the other night and saw at least 20+ games called off throughout the state. I don't know the full details of what he done, but it is a risk trying to play right now. He may have some people at home that is vulnerable and the outbreak in Tennessee has been a lot worse than it is here.

Tf are you talking about? How many people under the age of 70 do you know that have died from covid? I know way more kids that have died of drug overdoses than covid but little uproar over that issue. People are just so so stupid

They are also getting paid . It’s what they do for a living. No one should have a problem with a high school kid opting out . I hate to say it but , college kid either.imo

But again, there’s nothing to support it’s actually about race. It’s about the overall health of a person and their activities. Did you not actually read the article in regards to why?

Not sure the point you are trying to make?

A lot of D1 African American Athletes come from low-income families. These families typically are cramped in housing increasing the likely hood of Covid. Low-income families also do not eat healthy (shocker) which increases multitude of health issues.

Simply stating it's on their overall heath and activities is really simplifying things when it goes much deeper.

This is a better article and more in depth on what I just tried to explain - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases...rs/coronavirus-infection-by-race/faq-20488802

If he makes it to the league, I've no doubt ZZ will tell Skyy when he signs that he just got paid.

He Gotsa Get Paid, then if he runs to a Biloxi Casino he better be careful and not leave his head in Mississippi. Probably should take his Sleeping Bag just in case, and watch those Rough Boys plus the Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers over there. Maybe a pair of Cheap Sunglasses for a disguise, just hope he isn't Driving While Blind when he goes through LA Grange, if so he may feel like they Got Him Under Pressure.

But not every word! You’ve got to toss in an occasional lowercase of, these, or and.
