I obviously haven't been keeping up with this mess like some of you have (I still have to go to work everyday, LOL) but somebody answer me this. I see why the remainder of the basketball season and all of baseball season has been cancelled. I got it. Things are bleak at the moment. But why are we talking about shutting down football when the first game won't even be played until 4 months from now?

To me, even discussing canceling football is WAY to premature. Not only that, it's just causing more panic. Come mid July or the first of August and things haven't changed for the better, then is when the discussion of delaying/cancelling football should occur. Not four months prior. Even if football is delayed it's still better than completely cancelling it.

ALOT of things can happen in four months people. So why raise the panic level and add more gloom than what we already have? When in four months from now this thing could be nothing more than a bad page in our history books an all COULD possibly be back to the regularly scheduled programs.

Like I said, alot of things can happen before the last week of August. For instance, the warm summer weather could help fight/kill this thing, an antibiotic to treat it may have been discovered, or something else could drastically happen to help end this thing. OR, it's about the same or worse. Then, and only then, should we start making plans about canceling/delaying fall sports.

My point is, why not just wait and see how things progress, or degrees, in the next 2-3 months before we start cancelling everything on the calendar for the next 18-24 months? Some of y'all acting like this is like the Black Death Plague that hit Asia and Europe in the 12th century. I'm pretty sure it's nothing quite like that. Let's just relax, take a deep breath, and see how it plays out and stop panicking.
