The only other option is to not play the season at all. There isn’t a single place in the country that is COVID free where you can host a tournament. So you either don’t host a tournament and cancel the season or you do the best job possible at ensuring player safety and deal with the consequences. There’s no in between.
Stay classy dude.
Spin however you want, but that has been your style for some time now. You spit expletives and attacks at people who don't write something you agree with. Before all this, it was about subjective things like the quality of certain players, now you've carried your general prickishness into the pandemic talk all while exaggerating other people's post.
I don’t think anyone said shut up and dribble. I made a comment saying it’s surprising that they are speaking out now. I figured maybe the players association has urged them to do so. Our players especially have always been very silent on social media. I was simply trying to strike up conversation. But my comment above stands. You either play or you don’t. There’s no where you can play this tournament that is 100% safe. You can’t force the staff to stay in the bubble as well. They can test temperatures, and I’m sure they will, of incoming staff every day. I’m sure there are precautions that will be taken. I bet every single person here knows someone or knows of someone who was infected with COVID. During this entire pandemic I’ve worked in retail with 100+ other associates at my store alone and I’m close friends with people at other locations and no one that I know or that friends know or anyone anywhere in the sphere of my circle has been infected. I’m in Tampa, a supposed epicenter now. You’d think there would be sick people all around me the way it’s being discussed on media platforms. As far as I’m concerned nothing is even going on. I go to work, I come home, I go out occasionally. The same can be said for everyone I know. I’m not saying COVID isn’t real. Our reality down here isn’t yours up there. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone here who knows of anyone infected. Your circle might be 5-10 miles. Mine is 50-100 miles that I regularly travel. Y’all were getting 10k cases in your city alone. We’re peaking now at 4K in our state and the majority concentrated in the south where there are a lot of migrant workers and farming.
I don’t find it controversial. If they think that playing in Cleveland or Chicago or New York would be safer then I do find it irrational.
Sometime last week, I had noticed much less bickering and more positive discussion on this board recently and was rather optimistic about the future of this board. I then remembered that prior to the shutdown, it had become quite clear (to me) that you were among the more toxic members of this forum, which had played a role in the decrease in traffic (I know at least one very good poster left this site because of your attacks, and im sure others have as well) among other factors. At that point, it occurred to me that you haven't posted in a while, which validated my theory that you were the center of the toxicity that permeated and was killing this site over the last year or so.
Nice. You started today by calling me a prick and an asshole to now making it about my posting style while accusing me of being toxic. Don’t stop being you.

Thank you for this. One addendum. People, please use the "ignore" feature.
