You're either for protecting the health of the players, coaches and anyone who comes into contact with them or you're not. If you think that it's ok because so far nobody got "seriously ill," then I would ask you to look at how many people have died and tell me that you will be just fine with it if even ONE Griz player, coach, staff member or their family members die because one player got exposed. I'm not sorry to say: I don't think a football season is worth that risk.
In my view, it's not just identifying the risks; it's factoring in the likelihood of the risk. Not much likelihood, it seems to me. There is a lot of data on the season so far. Same with high school and NFL football and sports.
If the standard is or should be "if even ONE Griz player, coach, staff member or their family members die", then there would be no sports or hardly anything else. People die driving to and from games and practices. People die walking up stairs in stadiums. People die from drinking or drunk drivers. Some players die of head injuries, get bad concussions, have paralyzing injuries, etc. Some people die from falling down stairs or over railings. People used to die from goalposts being pulled down on their heads. Any risk analysis includes factoring in the chances of the risk occurring.
I assume you wouldn't apply your "if one person dies" to attending college, high school, K-12, or to press coverage (whether driving to and from work and assignments or going overseas to cover world affairs).
Ban all stairs immediately!! :lol:
