The response to it all is the hoax.
Nothing has changed since the Pac-12, MWC, and Big 10 cancelled fall football. I watched as woke commentator after even more woke commentator explained how dangerous it would be for college kids to play football. Now theses conferences are watching as teams are safely playing football and they realize they're missing out on millions of dollars and will not be able to survive without it. So instead of coming out and saying they were wrong, they have made up the excuse that the science has changed.
One example in particular I can point out is the commentators on PTI. Mike wilbon was on just a week ago explaining how it was too dangerous for the big 10 to play football. Just yesterday he claimed the science has changed. It's utter nonsense. I literally laughed out loud at the absurdity of what he said. I have watched for weeks as he's pounded his pulpit explaining how these teams can't take the risk and play football and now he's done a complete 180 with absolutely no change in the science.
It's not a hoax, the virus is real. There are real risks and real dangers but they aren't serious enough for these conferences to have canceled college football for young men that have an extremely low risk of being hurt by this virus. The reaction is the fraud.
