Will COVID-19 be the needle that finally bursts the sports bubble?

Alma gonna Alma.

All sides are equally to blame, and all opinions are equally valid.

 

According to Pat Forde it’s apparently neither.

It’s Trump making 18-30 year olds act unsafe.

Surely you can appreciate the dangers of the flip side of the coin: It’s the one where the president Pat Forde likes isn’t to blame at all, or, more daunting, is expected to magically solve this.

 

At some point I'm afraid you're going to have to acknowledge Trump's utter absence of leadership and its negative consequences in the real world, rather than imaging some fictional president in some hypothetical parallel America.

Even granting that C19 caught lots of countries by surprise, that was March.

It's mid-July and we're no closer to a national answer to any of this.

10000 local leaders with 10000 local plans is no leadership and no plan all.

 

I already did, probably a month ago, when I said and predicted he *wouldn’t* help with school reopening.

And he hasn’t.

But he’s hardly the only problem. We got about 9,000 scientists talking all the time now, the goal changed from “don’t overwhelm the medical system” to “death and case scoreboard” the media culture is such that nothing ever can take a day or week to marinate.

 

This welter of information is what rushes in to fill the leadership vacuum.

A big part of leadership is helping filter all that raw data into simpler instructions for people to follow.

Like, "wear a mask."

 

Oh man.

All these different scientists and goals and conflicting messages.


Who could Americans possibly turn to for a consistent message on such a critical thing? If only we had some sort of chief executive or something. ...

 

If we make it to Jan. 20, we’ll have one.

 

Oh, you’ll have a guy who does what he’s told. But he’ll be told things you’ll like hearing.

Joe Biden does not appear in charge of anyone at this point. SNL in theory should have a field day with him, but it won’t.

 

Who will be telling Biden what to do?

 

What's better? Joe Biden being told what to do - I presume by actual subject matter experts - or Donald Trump going on his gut?

 

Antifa. Soros. MS-13. Pat Forde.
