No is covid shaming anyone here? Is there the typical twitter fight between both sides of this discussion haven't really been on social to see what gross things people are saying about this.
I'm not suggesting that anyone here is shaming anyone else, just speaking generically. It does seem like it's rather difficult to get decenting opinions from experts through the normal media channels and on social media. Anyone who isn't fully on board with the vaccination recommendations is dismissed as a conspiracy nut. I may be or may not be a conservative, a conspiracy nut, a right wing zealot... but all I'm asking for is information that isn't politically tainted. This is a health issue, not a political issue, but it seems impossible to find information that isn't filtered through some political agenda.
Anyway, on a positive note, today's reports about Damar Hamlin's condition suggest he's improving. That's the most important thing right now.
I'm certainly not a conservative right winger (nor am I a left wing socialist) but I do agree that it's pretty hard to get decent information when it comes to Covid stuff, hell lets be honest any news is difficult to get these days that isn't completely and entirely biased based on which side of the aisle the news outlet follows. That said I think it's a far stretch to include what happened to Damar in vaccine conspiracy's.
Hopefully Damar's health comes back and they are able to lay everything out exactly as it went down ( if that's even possible ).
So you guys going through fantasy football withdraw already too ?? lol. I can't believe it's over. Feels like we just drafted.
This is why I think it needs to be shifted to flag football or some variation of that until they reach college. I don't know how this will work, but I just don't think there will be any other choice.
This would be the most sensible choice, however so much money moves at the college level that it is difficult for me to see how this transition could play out, but at some point it has to happen as underage football players should have no business hitting each other at full speed when their bodies are still developing, and while the ability the body has to recover at that age is incredible, at the same time injuries slowly begin to accumulate, so it would be preferable this process started as late as possible, now it would be optimal if this process never started at all but on sports like football or boxing this is inevitable.
Yeah I'm not sure how this could all play out but something needs to happen. I had no business play tackle football in 6th, 7th and 8th grade. As a running back I was getting mini-concussions pretty much every single practice and game and multiple times each practice and game. That's scary. The guy who discovered CTE said something like just three years of youth football increases once chance of suicide by like 40% ( or something very high like that). Maybe it's flag until you get to Jr and Sr year in high school, that could be a decent start?
