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

Life has risks and we make choices daily as we assess those risks. I'm 69 and would have no problem attending a football game as I don't believe the risk of my becoming ill and dying to be very great. I'm perfectly willing to take that risk which should be my choice and that that of some politician or "expert."

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

Or under 60. 😉

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?

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...

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

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

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?

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

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

5/27/20 11:56pm

Studies done of sporting events in the UK suggest that it does.

5/28/20 10:13am

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

Iman23

5/28/20 11:13pm

That's possible, but not certain.

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

5/28/20 7:07am

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

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.

PJMort

5/28/20 2:14pm

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!

5/28/20 3:48pm

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

5/28/20 4:36pm

Because then the stadium would be loud and neighbors would complain

5/28/20 4:16pm

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
