Let me just go ahead and put this out there. If they, stupidly, decide to do this then you will see a negative financial impact on the Golden Triangle that we will be digging out of for years. I’m talking hundreds of businesses shutting down and going out of business for good, hotels drying up, food chains associated with those will also go away as well as retail shopping. Everything but the largest store fronts will probably go bankrupt in Starkville and Columbus.
It would be profoundly stupid.
This and it won't just be in Mississippi it'll be all over the country and especially in the southeast.Quote:

I was in Starkville this week and talked with one small business owner. He said there is currently much talk about eliminating tailgating for the fall but they are still holding out hope for at least some fans in the stands.
If there is no football this fall Starkville is done. A lot of the local restaurants and bars and probably hotels won't make it along with many other businesses.
I suggested that if they do play with no fans or limited fans maybe the town and businesses could work together and have some large watch parties outside in different areas of town that people may come from out of town to attend. It would be hard to enforce social distancing rules for anything like that though.
I hate wearing masks. Literally hate it. But I wear one because it's the decent thing to do. Swallow your pride, toughen up, quit being rebels, and just wear the damn things. We've grown to accustomed in the South of just doing the opposite of what we're told to because it's just been that way our whole lives. It's ignorant, inconsiderate, and unfair to people with elderly family members that this thing will kill. Wear a damn mask.
Starkville will fold up if no football, and might fold up with limited football. Your favorite restaurant/bar's days are numbered. Lots of businesses on shaky ground as it is.
I'm thinking season ticket holders only and you must wear a mask. Maybe limited or no concessions. If you're constantly lifting up your mask to drink and eat nachos it defeats the purpose.
They should just play all the 2020-2021 sports in the winter/spring. Much less risk. Same economic and athletic outcomes.
It will be a disaster if they have to interrupt the season or have partial or conference only schedules.
Much better odds on positive economic and athletic outcomes spring semester.
It's not just the South. I just got back from a trip to Pennsylvania and stopped in TN, KY, and WV along the way. PA was the only state that seemed to have over 20% wearing masks.Quote:

I'll be shocked if there is college football. There is no possible way it happens if people must be isolated with a positive test or close contact. None.
Why some resist wearing a mask just blows my mind. I swear I do not get it.
Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and be THAT guy.
Without a vaccine, herd immunity is the only thing that will get us through this.
Enough people get it and get through it, the spread slows to a crawl, and a vaccine eventually hits the market.
Don't wear a mask if you don't want to.
Umm, we don't even know if COVID-19 antibodies prevent reinfection yet.Quote:

The Darwin Awards are made for people like you.Quote:

Look those up, THAT is what you idiots want......AT BEST.
And besides all that, it's bad for the economy. People forget that the most at risk group, 60+, is also the demographic with the most disposable income. I can assure you we are staying home as much as possible, and will continue to do so as long as so many people refuse to wear a mask. If people want a deeper recession, just continue not wearing a mask.Quote:

Absolutely. But people won't do masks because their RIAGHTS are being, in their idiot world, violated. They also are already saying they won't take a vaccine because of absolute black heilocopter LUNACY. There are very good studies that say if we could get 80% mask wearing for something like six months it would be as effective as a universal vaccine. The virus would go away.....but these idiots somehow got in their idiot brains that masks actually spread it. It absolute sheer insanity. If survival of the fittest is true, we here in America are DOOMED.Quote:

FWIW, I wear a mask at work all day due to my company's decision to follow CDC guidelines.
YEP, and I'm not quiet yet in that group, but I certainly do business with them.Quote:

I've been in healthcare long enough to know to KNOW that the just after part doesn't bother a great many. Given what you posted, you are among the latter.Quote:

What we do know is there are no confirmed cases of reinfection 5 months into the virus (South Korean doctors have debunked the theory of the alleged reinfection cases there), which is positive.
So I have to chose between wearing a mask for 5 plus hours straight going to a football game, sucking in my co2, for your health or staying at home watching on TV? That's a no brainer.
