Easy! Have you not noticed? There's nothing sports related to talk about right now... NOTHING!

Now that you know there's some threads discussing more than sports (that won't be played); read elsewhere if you're not interested. 

This thread happens to be about an an event vs a situation....not about any particular game, team or match up....SMH

100%, unequivocally false. Again, this information is readily available. Just a simple Google search away.

In any event, this has gone on too long, which is, in large part, my fault and not the purpose of this message board. I like to argue too much, I suppose. So, I'll cease and desist.

He read it on the internet...…...So it has to be true.

Gerally, I avoid trying to reason with folks who use the term "libs" and buy into every nonsense right wing conspiracy, but I'll give it one shot. I'm not sure why, though. 

First, AP is a perfectly fine news source. Plus, the info is verifiable in almost innumerable sources. Facebook isn't a source I used, to my knowledge, nor do I get information from there.

Next, the "media" is a vague term encompassing a lot of different groups. But, if you think they control the governments of the world and events to the point of creating this panic all on their own, you are a complete and utter fool.

Obama got less flak because he acted quickly and didn't make this about himself, nor call it a "Republican hoax". Why H1N1 wasn't deemed as dangerous as Covid19? Ask the CDC or WHO. It's important enough to them to make these recommendations and that's newsworthy. It's also newsworthy that Trump has dropped the ball, this far.

Also, keep in mind this is early in the process, so comparing numbers is fruitless. This isn't the same as the swine flu.

In an event, I'm sure you'll get your retorts from your Fox News sources and Trump bubble. But, he's going on, what over 15,000 lies and misleading statements, that I'm not sure you are aware of truths and facts anymore.

It still sucks the kids can't play.

Have at it, guys.

 First of all, the msm as a whole is controlled by only a handful of people and that includes the AP. There is no real journalism left in the msm. Period! It’s all controlled content to the public. Russia gate is just one example of that. Secondly, this whole Coronavirus is a bunch of bull. If you look at the CDC’s #’s on the flu last year and compare that with the early #’s on Coronavirus #’s you’ll find out that the flu is more dangerous to everyday Americans than the Coronavirus is. So why is there so much panic. I personally think it’s all political and that’s my take on it. I could be wrong in the end but only time will tell. Hope you try and educate yourself with facts in the future.

COVID19 under Trump Presidency: 

US cases: 1,329....Deaths 40. 

Panic Level: Mass hysteria 

 

H1N1 under Obama Presidency:

US cases: 60,800,000 cases. Deaths 12,000+

Panic Level: Totally Chill

Do you see how the media can manipulate your life?

 

OnB furnished info....And it's CORRECT

I like math...with your CORRECT numbers

COVID-19

40/1,329*100 = 3.010% death rate

H1N1

Let's use 18,000 deaths, since you did say "12,000+"

18,000/60,800,000*100 = 0.030% death rate

 

That's 100x greater death rate.. I don't know the "chill" to "hysteria" ratio..

Those were the correct numbers when I posted....Thank God it appears they won't reach flu numbers.

Read a doctor Tom  Megremis' column on Breitbart News and says the death rate, when finished, will be .022% in the USA, same as in South Korea. 

The numbers of coronavirus in the US will be GREATLY larger than known at this time. Not to mention the ones that had the virus and spread it without even knowing they had the virus

And Yes, this virus is a serious problem....Too bad libs won't send a bill to fund this country without including monies for tax-payer abortions and other PORK spending they've wanted for decades....They really care about the American people.   :roll:

UNIMANE: That would be Nancy Pelosi in case you didn’t get the hit on your FB.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
