So many questions one could ask a P5 college coach, yet the ask 2x about vaccinations

SOME sports "journalists" need to go find a job at Costco or Wally.

I wonder why they would ask such a thing?? Surely not politically motivated

[PGHBulldogBG]

The fact that vaccines against a serious pandemic have turned into a political issue is just terrible from both sides of the party system. I truly wish both parties would implode so people wouldn?t be so biased to make decisions based on political agenda

[preachermatt83]

His answer was epic!! “I wouldn’t tell you”. Hahah

I'm not sure it's party split. 50% of all persons in the US have been vaccinated, amd I know tons of Republicans who have been. Thus, there have to be tons of democrats who have not.

But I do agree with your larger point.

I mean the vaccine threshold is kind of a big deal

I’m torn on this. I do suspect that it’s politically motivated because most journalists don’t share the same politics as leach and since he is so vocal, or was so vocal they want a gotcha moment.

But I also think it may have been a hope that he’d go off on a funny tangent and they’d get recognition for asking the question that led to it. Based on his answers tho it would appear that he felt it was all about politics.

There are certain segments of the country that vote Democrat almost religiously but don’t actually believe or agree with the wokeness or in this case the pandemic/vaccine leftist politicians and what they’re saying.

I'm not playing babysitter... ANYONE who turns this into a political thread shit will be booted for the summer.
The question is legit since the conference has said. You can't play a game this due to covid. The game is a forfeit. No reschedules.
That says enough.

I'm not sure it's politically motivated. It may just be that so many sports journalists see sports as a lower calling than political reporting, so they are eager to report on anything connected to sports that is not actually about the game. This is at least a legitimate topic since the NCAA is willing to sacrifice pretty much anything other than money to appear to care about covid a lot.

CML also had a good answer for the Tennessee sports reporter about Javonte Payton.

Get vaccinated, everyone.

Yep. If we're serious about winning football games, our boys will get vaxxed. Otherwise you risk exponentially the chances of forfeited games.

You're serious, or you're not.

Take a wild guess which camp Alabama will fall in....

Newsflash: I'm gonna get it. just need to figure out where and how.
