The Military and Fenway bowls were canceled Sunday as a result of COVID-19 issues with participating teams.

Boston College had over 40 players unavailable to play in the Military Bowl against East Carolina on Monday. Virginia also had players test positive for COVID-19, making it unable to travel and play SMU at the Wasabi Fenway Bowl, set for Wednesday.

Last season, Boston College made it through the entire year with only one positive COVID-19 case but declined the opportunity to play in a bowl game because of the toll the entire season took on everyone.

I’m so sorry for these kids who want to play! (The ones who opt out because of the draft are a different story.)

I sure hope my alma mater is able to play in the Sugar Bowl! I can’t wait!!

Poor babies! Imagine if one of them got tackled! Thank goodness they decided to not play.

Yes. It looks like we are switching to a cold/flu like sickness for both vaccinated and unvaccinated. See how long before they recognize it.

Obviously not everyone; but those families and team followers who made travel plans, got reservations, flew into those cities, took vacation time off, etc -- those people knew. I say let the people involved decide whether to have the game or not.

There will be repurcussions.

Most of the people dying and most of the people hospitalized are the unvaxxed.

Yes. Governing agencies at all levels are flexing their muscles and prerogatives these days. They are taking as many liberties with our liberties as they think they can get away with. You know, they’re not letting a crisis go to waste.
