One reason why I agree that it's okay to have an opinion is that decisions made by the NFL and college football are influential. I'll go ahead and say that I am amazed Ohio is progressing forward with fall contact sports at the high school level. California, along with the majority of densely populated states, have opted to delay at least until January. Many states have already cancelled athletics until 2021.
Just recently I got out of the city and had a mini vacation in the less populated central coast of Cali. After living in densely populated S.F. where Covid-19 feels very present, and the stats back it up, I went through the culture shock of seeing areas where groups of families feel safe enough to hang out together. So I get it that in more rural areas, this doesn't feel dangerous... but urban areas will be playing the rural areas in football. Once a few Covid cases hit the more rural areas due to contact sports, opinions are going to change.
A conversation like the one we are having must happen, and if trolling begins I will be ending the troll's ability to post, not the conversation. Think very carefully when you post inaccuracies and non-truths about research.
