No, I mean you say you don’t like smearing ads, but you support a man as President who is king of smears. Oh, the sad irony.

I'm pretty sure every politician in the last 40 years has run a smear ad or two trying to get elected.

I hate that they do it. What am I supposed to do about it? Not vote? 

Why don't you bring up something else not relevant to the conversation...troll.

You people are constantly trying to troll me out of here, so I don’t get you get off calling me a troll.

No matter what you think of Dr. Drew, did he say anything that is not true? This flu season, in the USA, 25,000,000 people have had the flu and 20,000 have died. The media must have missed that huh?

Do the math, please. The numbers you give indicate a mortality rate of 0.001. If the flu here this year had the 1.00 % mortality of Coronavirus,  that would make 250,000 dead instead of 20,000. I think the media would be all over that. 
 

That’s why the alarm. A disease with a death rate 100 times greater than the norm needs to be focused on and dealt with quickly.

And the other 99% get a cold. Grow up dude. This virus has killed the old, young, and the sickly. The flu kills people with good health. You are an alarmist.

Deaths do NOT come from the coronavirus.  Its simply an upper respiratory issue.  Deaths DO come from those with some other existing condition before the virus is acquired.  Same thing happens with the flu.     If you are a healthy individual, the flu and/or corona virus is very unlikely to cause your death.  Every day people with other issues go into the hospital after getting the flu and wind up passing because of pneumonia.

So, everyone else but you and trump are liars?

I dont believe making a statement about the virus and the impact it has on ones health speaks to anyone being a liar.   I am more than confident that the statement I made in the aforementioned  post is correct.  Do you disagree with it?  If so, please elaborate as I am interested to see if your medical knowledge has the same depth as your knowledge of the Koran.

      I'm going to agree with this. Individual drills would be fine, but a varsity baseball player should not be involved in full pad practices during the baseball season. Especially, if he is a contributing player on a playoff bound baseball team. This is irresponsible and selfish of the AD/HFC.

      If there's a specific situation that started this thread, I don't know the details.  Nor do I care.  But I do have an opinion about what I'm gathering from some of the comments. My opinion: I do believe that an AD should leave the players of a particular sport to their respective head coach during that season.  The varsity players of that sport anyway.  I believe it's a little different concerning the sub varsity players of that sport.  If an AD/HFC decides to grab some JV baseball players for some offseason football stuff during the athletics period, I don't have AS MUCH of a problem with it.  I would still consider it a common courtesy to discuss with the head coach of that particular sport to consider their thoughts on it. I also believe that ALL athletes should be lifting and running all year.  When in a particular season, I believe that the head coach of that sport should control the reigns on that topic to implement some sport specific lifting/running during their season.  But all athletes should be in the weight room year round. As far as playing multiple sports?  I'm an advocate.  I know that the popular idea is for potentially good/great players in a specific sport to "focus" on that sport.  And I agree.. but focusing on one sport doesn't mean stopping the others.  It just means prioritizing time in a way that extra work is put into that specific sport.  After hours, weekends, holidays/summer, etc..  Just because you plan on making a push into college baseball (for example) doesn't mean you can't work on baseball during other sports seasons.  That's exactly what I did.. and countless others.  Plus, it's important to maybe learn how to be a role player in a sport that you're not the best at.  Because that's coming. That's my opinion.  And I come from an era where kids played multiple sports if they knew it would be helping.  Helping their classmates.. or just contributing to school pride.  I hate knowing that there are schools that could be much more competitive if their kids would just come out.  It's hard for me to understand if I'm being honest.

      I wasn't arguing the point of how an AD keeps his job. The question was "what has happened to Jasper" as in their whole athletic department. They were much much better in those other sports even when football was successful. Not anymore. Something definitely has changed.

      I just don't think it's as big an issue as what's being discussed. My opinion.
