  1. Tough for MAGA Nation to use the Defund the Police argument when the Veep candidate is a former Attorney General and is largely criticized for being "too harsh" in prosecuting criminals. Excellent pick!

      You say things during Primaries you have to take back.

      Otherwise who would ever endorse anyone? Think of all the GOP Senators that had to put their tails between their legs and pledge fealty to Trump after what they said about him in 2016.

  2. I think in most instances they are being shut down anyway. If College football should only be played because of the money it generates, why shouldn't the students benefit from that? Title 9 is pretty irrelevant if Football is exempt.
  3. In a normal year, I would agree. They still should be able to make money off their likeness. But that's a personal opinion. But what about a year where students may not even be allowed on campus and all other sports are cancelled?
  4. You will get no quarrel from me on that. Many go to play Hockey as well. Not the point when considering Football however.
  5. That they should be paid if the only consideration for continuing College Football beyond every other sport is money. If they do the bubble model they'd essentially be slaves in their hotel room. That's cool in the NBA when you're making $10 mil a year, but to do it for free?
  6. In 2020, Church can be done anywhere, just like anything else. The miracle of the Internet and Electronic transfers. God wouldn't be hurt if Ontario decided not to have a Catholic School Board. Well this is the "Road to 2020" thread. Perhaps you should complain to the Admin. So if that kind of anti-intellectual tripe is good for Trump, why not indelicate public speaking by Biden? How is he suddenly unfit for office?
  7. Yes, and the SEC and ACC are pledging to continue. Trump has said that College Football should continue and many coaches and top ranked players are contributing to the #letthemplay. Sure. But if they do play, it throws the whole "Student Athlete" narrative out the window.
  8. How does that "Hurt God"? God can be hurt by people not being present at a church? I thought he's everywhere at all times. And the early Christians met in homes and not Megachurches. I'm fully aware of the US relationship with Guns and Religion. The point is that saying Biden Hurts God and Hurts Guns is an amateur level of political discourse, you should be embarrassed he's your President. To see that from a POTUS, it's tough to say that Biden can do much worse.
  9. And if they don't want to play due to COVID-19, should their scholarships and eligibility remain? This is true, so why should Power 5 football be any different? Could be because it's lining the pockets of people other than the players?
  10. So how does a devout Catholic, like Biden hurt God? Anymore than a chronic adulterer than takes joy in being cruel and insulting to people? Oh, so people that voting for military conflict hurts God? So almost all of the Senators that saved him from Impeachment then.
  11. Other sports are being postponed or cancelled for the fall season due to COVID. But, for many, football still needs to be played. Why is that? Because of the money it generates. If they're being treated differently on that basis, they should also be compensated for the risk they're being asked to take.
  12. I don't question that Religion and Guns are important to Americans. It's perplexingly hypocritical, but it's objectively true. Regarding Trump, it's not the narrative I quibble with as much as the delivery. Biden will Hurt God and Hurt the Bible. How does one hurt God exactly? The speech is an incoherent and unthoughtful mess just trying to cram as much dog-whistle right-wing political buzzwords in as he could. It's also appalling that a man who exhibits no Christ-like characteristics would question Biden's (a devout Catholic) devotion to God.
  13. Cite. Sure, and it's an extraordinary contradiction. Bordering on gross hypocrisy. The US would be a better Muslim Nation than a Christian one.
  14. https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/ncaa-football/news/college-football-canceled-2020-season-covid-19/w8afm6fhfkxf1r5dfyhqphpsx This is one of the more ugly things going down, in response to COVID-19. Many schools have already cancelled or postponed Fall sports. But College Football is big business for about 50-100 schools in the US. But they still don't pay their athletes. Not only that, the NCAA bans them from making money on their likeness. This shines a huge light on the slavery conditions NCAA football is. Universities can cancel or postpone Volleyball or Swimming because those sports don't really make any money. But millions of dollars is made on College Football. But how can you pretend NCAA Football players aren't employees when plans are made to make them play in Bubbles or in front of TV Cameras like the Pros currently are? Advocates say that the players want to play. I'm sure the ones that have a ticket to the pros do. But the benefit of college sports for the vast majority is the free education that comes with a scholarship. So which is it? Are they Student Athletes? Or Athlete Student. Because if a school isn't going to even have in-person classes then they certainly shouldn't have football.
  15. Are you parroting the Herd Mentality BS? How's that working in the US? Well, how often do you stay outdoors doing anything but recreational activities?
  16. Last week Trump said Biden would "Hurt the Bible and Hurt God". And that He's "Against God and Against Guns." Is that something a well-adjusted and sane person would say? https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-53688217/trump-says-biden-is-against-god-and-he-s-against-guns As an aside, America's obsession with Jesus and Guns, at the same time, is most obscene oxymoron I've ever seen.
  17. And Trump can't walk down a ramp without looking like a Penguin because of great health.
  18. Cite a medical diagnosis.
  19. What they say is wear a mask when you can't social distance. It's in the ads! But, of course, you know more than public health officials.
  20. And such declines can be cherry picked from Trump's public speaking. You're accusing Biden of having serious cognitive issues. There is only anecdotal evidence of that. This is the similar tactic used against Hillary when she collapsed once in 2016. The claims were that she was ill and was unfit for office.
  21. Cite. Wearing masks significantly reduces the level of water droplet dispersal. They work in tandem, but there are instances where social distancing is not always possible.
  22. Note, Trump has never released Cognitive results, he's just bragged about passing the test. Honesty isn't his strong suit. But if Biden MUST release results that show he doesn't have some disease then perhaps Trump should release his tax returns to prove he's not a corrupt criminal.
  23. The point is, it's not a HUGE! sacrifice. Especially considering it enables the economy to open much quicker. It's just something we have to do to lower the infection rate. But there are people who won't do it because they feel it infringes on their rights. The same people probably won't quibble with a business having a dress code.
  24. I'm sure you have the appropriate psychological accreditation to diagnose such a condition based on cherry-picked video snippets.
  25. Many protestors also wear maskts. Your link indicates 13% never do. So at the very best it's 87%. And extra 32% seldom do. That's a nebulous statistic. I seldom wear a mask because I rarely go into indoor public places. I'm mostly at home, in my car at work and outside. I've even stopped going to the gym, even though I technically can now. You can't really debate this issue without comparing how Canada and Europe have responded and how the US has. The differences can't really be more stark.
