Every year there are 12.2 deaths attributable to football at the HS and college

levels, most commonly from cardiac failure, brain injury, and heat illnesses: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23477766/

Should we be cancelling ANY games due to COVID tests?  Even if all the players had it, is it even remotely comparable to the inherent risk in playing football generally?

To date, there is one "maybe" COVID death attributable to a football player.  And even that single death is (a) highly suspect that it was actually COVID related, and (b) occurred with someone who has morbidly obese.

This is the player whose family claims he passed away due to COVID, although there is no support of testing information confirming the COVID diagnosis:
