The college football social media outrage is symbolic of an issue in society.

We want the reward without doing the hard work to be able to get it. We& #39;re the spoiled fit throwing child.

We have to do the hard work. We can& #39;t just & #39;force& #39; our way to something because we crave it.
And no fault of the players. If I were in their shoes at 21yr old, I& #39;d be screaming to play.

Why? I was just like them. Incredibly driven, loved my sport, and so narrowed in on the sport that nothing else mattered.

That& #39;s why we have coaches, to provide perspective and guidance
This is the simplest controversy in the world. We can& #39;t have nice things until:
-positivity rate is below X%
-cases in area are below X/1,000
-Know risks on heart inflammation.

Let science provide those answers/guidelines. Then it should be on ALL of us to work towards that.
Maybe, what America needs is college football. We need college football to stand up and say:

"Hey America, do you want college football in November/December? Then get your shit together! Stop playing games and handle the pandemic. Then...we can play!"
