Why not have football with fans in stadium under 50 years old?

Or under 60. 😉

Easy......

Secondary spread can’t be a huge concern unless we want to do nothing for a long

Pretty clear cut discriminatory practice. Age just like race and sex is a

Have it be a guideline then. Or governor’s order.

PJMort

5/27/20 10:12pm

Like wearing a mask?

Tare

5/27/20 10:17pm

Yes- And I will be suing COVID-19 for age discrimination!

PJMort

5/27/20 11:52pm

Well, we're suspending the 1st amend. for Corona, why not the 14th.

YSMACK

Link?

Tare

Did you miss the many state, & municipal orders abridging the right to assemble?

Thanks. I’m pretty clear on the 1st amendment. Just don’t see how it’s been

So a young person whose religious beliefs tell him to gather with other

5/27/20 11:14pm

LOL. You're not very clear on the 1st then.

YSMACK

5/27/20 11:39pm

apparently diseases are racist, sexist and ageist...

BYUALWAYSNUM1

5/27/20 11:00pm

Darn them! Darn them to heck!

PJMort

5/27/20 11:53pm

This isn't true. Discrimination on age is largely allowed. Not like race/sex

displacedute

5/27/20 11:34pm

Take that gripe up with COVID-19

Pretorian

5/28/20 5:04am

We discriminate based on age all the time.

CrimsonCardinal

Let's ban all lawyers then and anybody that wants to take the risk can do...

LES west stands/concourse in this scenario

LifelongAP

5/27/20 10:12pm

Or just have a fan in every other seat – alternate rows–odd/even seat #s)

Benfica1

5/27/20 10:12pm

Not in the afternoon anymore

TADOW

5/27/20 10:14pm

Nope. Gotta treat everyone the same because Facts and Science

YIsForBrigham

5/27/20 10:19pm

But what about my feelings!!!!!!

Pretorian

5/28/20 5:11am

It depends. Are your feelings approved by the Fact Check Science Board of Acceptable Opinions?

YIsForBrigham

5/28/20 9:57am

I’ll have to ask AOC she is the primary source of which and when feelings trump

Pretorian

5/28/20 10:31am

Just post signs. Old people beware, enter at your own risk. Done.

Pro Logic

5/27/20 10:32pm

^this... just post signs that the stadium is not in compliance with social distancing guidelines. Enter at your own

HarlemCoug

5/27/20 11:11pm

Yes! We are not children, to be confined at home and told when we may go out.

vaquero

5/28/20 7:55pm

Yeah I can understand telling old people to hunker down

puntersarepeople

5/28/20 9:36pm

How about we have everyone sign a waiver like Disney is doing

travelcoug

5/27/20 10:58pm

Then make sure NO ONE goes home to a house with a 50 yr old and above.

Traveshamockery

5/27/20 11:04pm

That would be awesome. All the seats with backrests at LES will be open!

Coug Man in Florida

5/27/20 11:08pm

It doesn’t spread outdoors...a study was done and showed something like 317 out

Iman23

5/27/20 11:36pm

I agree- but this would allow for a safe-ish experiment.

PJMort

Very likely were transmitted indoors ...Subway, bars, restaurants before and

Iman23

5/28/20 11:13pm

That's possible, but not certain.

displacedute

5/29/20 9:21am

Why not only have football for those fans who actually paid for the stadium when the team wasn't

Tarbo

5/28/20 12:04am

Science and Data! Lol.

PJMort

5/28/20 12:33am

Because I'm 59.

JmThms

5/28/20 12:46am

or just have whoever wants to go sign a waiver that they understand the risk

ManicBlue

5/28/20 2:56am

Because that would only leave about 20 season ticket holders.

CrimsonCardinal

5/28/20 6:32am

How about each individual take responsibility for their own lives? Like we used

Am I my brother’s keeper?

kC Cougar

5/28/20 11:45am

Do you get to choose what everyone else should do though?

puntersarepeople

5/28/20 12:46pm

This isn't that hard. If you are concerned about getting sick, stay home.

TrueBlue67

5/28/20 7:25am

Would mean a lot of open seats on the West sidelines. I mean a lot of seats!!!

Cosmo4life

5/28/20 8:46am

Allow people to spread out. One open seat would be mine.

PJMort

5/28/20 10:37am

+1 to having a stadium that is not over 50 years old!

The Chelsea Dagger

5/28/20 11:17am

Those 60+ OR those who ask people in front of them to sit down.

reagan21

5/28/20 11:50am

I wouldn’t be able to go (took me a sec to realize that) but I’d still support

Refugee

Sounds like a recipe for another outbreak

Hill4Heisman

5/28/20 2:02pm

I am waiting to see if there are outbreaks from Memorial Day. So far things

PJMort

5/28/20 2:08pm

Because a lot of 60+ would readily and willingly assume the risk.

Is calling someone "Satan" considered a personal attack? Can't remember. lol.

Not a good idea to ban 95% of your donor base.

SoValleyCOUG

5/28/20 3:31pm

I’m thinking just for the first game or two. If it goes well, open it up.

PJMort

5/28/20 3:37pm

Then I would have to get a fake ID as a younger man. Hmmm I could pull it off!

BYUALWAYSNUM1

5/28/20 4:36pm

Because then the stadium would be loud and neighbors would complain

Lip Gallagher

Start all games at 10:00 PM

BlueMark

5/28/20 5:08pm

Great solution 🙂

Hill4Heisman

Wow what would it be like without someone yelling at you to sit down? Sounds
