Fauci: NFL will operate, or not, on virus's schedule
Yahoo Sports ^ | 11 May 2020 | Jay Busbee

Posted on 05/11/2020 8:22:19 AM PDT by Sgt_Schultze

The NFL has spent the pandemic proceeding as if football will kick off as normal this fall. But despite the three-day virtual draft, despite the mega-hyped, fixed-date schedule release, despite all the public-facing optimism, the truth is this: The NFL isn’t in charge here. COVID-19 is.

That’s the conclusion of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institutes for Health and the leading authoritative voice on COVID-19 in America. Speaking to NBC’s Peter King this weekend, Fauci did not mince words: If the country is at the point in September where we are right now, there will be no season.

“Right now, if you fast forward, and it is now September,” he said. “The season starts. I say you can’t have a season — it’s impossible.

A wise prediction.

No doubt there are numerous would be Fauci’s out there with dreams of wielding (unelected) power like he does. Fauci is fast becoming their role model and inspiration.

Fauci is doing what Leftists always do - double down when his narrative is slipping.

Maybe years from now we shall learn just who recommended Fauci to Donald. Someone's sin will find someone out. :)

Anyone know if Fauci's post at NIAID is potus appointed subject to Senate confirmation? If so, Reagan and a GOP Senate are to blame for the post Fauci holds now. He's held it since 1984.

Conspiracy Theory:

Trump put Fauci up to this to avenge the NFL shutting him out decades ago.

I could give a rat’s patootie for the NFL but, like you, I despise this miniature dictator even more.

I’m worried about our local sports. We have a great minor league baseball team just up the road. Friday and Saturday nights are a blast at the ballpark! Our Sussex County Miners maintained first place status for the entire season last year, only to lose the championship series by a heartbreaker. Their season is set to start this month, but it won’t. I hope they, and the league, can survive until it’s “safe” to play again.

Less than an hour from home sits the oldest continually operating dirt track in the U.S. Orange County Fair Speedway is a 5/8-mile dirt track that has seen some awesome racing through the years. They have been pouring money into physical improvements to the track, grandstands, and buildings. No one has any idea when the first green flag will fly.

I was disappointed to learn that the XFL has folded. That league was just starting to get good, and I considered actually attending a game or two this season.

I’m not a die hard sports fan, but getting out to a game or a race is always a fun evening.

This mandatory physical separation is un-natural, and will not be tolerated for much longer. Cabin fever in the dead of winter is one thing. Being locked up in warm weather is another.

End of rant

Trump needs to shut Fauci down. Guys like Fauci have already done appalling damage to the economy - enough is enough.

Damned coward. Damned Hillary lover.

This isn’t a question about the NFL. It’s a question about Trump rallies.

I had a proposal for this sort of thing in Philadelphia. Open the football baseball, and basketball venues:

-fans entering the football stadium sign a waiver that they won't sue the team if they contract COVID19. They pay full price for tickets and food etc BUT they get a voucher entitling them to a $150 credit on their State income tax.

-fans entering the baseball stadium also sign the waiver but pay half price for the ticket and full price for food etc. but must sit 6 feet away from each other as they watch the game on the Jumbotron; no tax voucher,

-fans entering the indoor basketball venue get the same deal as those entering the baseball venue BUT they must wear masks. Let's see just how scared people are, let the market sort it out, and generate revenue and employment as we see which venue gets more fans.

Oh, and the players will play full contact foootball.

...the truth is this: The NFL isn’t in charge here. COVID-19 is.

Wrong. The NFL needs to realize that some Democrat governors and mayors won't open up until after the November election in their zeal to hurt Trump.

The NFL needs to approach the season as if the Northeast, Northwest, California, Illinois and Michigan are closed to business and find alternate neutral sites. Since many college football sites will probably be shut down, the NFL can lease out stadiums in Republican-run locations to serve as neutral sites in place of any NFL stadiums that are shut down.

You could see NFL games in places like Omaha, NE, Boise, ID, Birmingham, AL, College Station, TX, etc. where the field is probably available and will be up to NFL standards for tv and hotel space.

Oh thank you, great lord and master Fauci! What would we ever do without you?! How did we even survive before you came along?! What is your next command? Tell us so we can obey and serve you!

“This one ought to be REEEEEEEEEEAL interesting!” Oh YEAH! I wonder if it’ll be him or Kayleigh.

Here is the actual verbiage from Whitehouse.gov:

"President Trump and Administration Officials Deliver Remarks and Hold a Press Briefing on Testing"

I suspect they'll be done talking about testing inside of ten minutes and we'll be off to the races.

I want one of the questions at Pres. Trump’s next news conference / briefing to be: “Why do you allow Fauci to make pronouncements as if HE, not you, is the President?”

I admire the hell out of Pres. Trump, but that question needs to be asked.
