What bothers me is when a jogger runs right next to me on the sidewalk huffing and puffing. Why not jog in the park?

That happens a lot in soccer.
I think that’s as bad as physical contact.

Why should you object? After all, as long as you're wearing your protective mask, nothing can happen to you, right?

As for your post being accurate, it’s even more so now that we’ll have Biden at the “helm.”

Players should be forced to keep 6 foot social distance while playing. But it’s soccer so no one will notice.

And fans are used to having soccer players dropping from fake injuries and fouls without an opponent in sight...same old same.
