Here’s what I don’t get.
Today there were roughly 80000 airline flights in the US. The flights I’ve heard of, and been on, since Covid have varied with the number of passengers. But I’ve heard of, and have been on, flights that were 100 percent full. But let’s just say half full, average of about 30 passengers per plane, taking into account smaller regional planes and bigger planes.
That’s 2.4 million people daily, in cramped indoor quarters, with a recirculating air system.
And they/we can’t figure out how to practice and play sports? And can’t figure out how to have games?
I suppose airline travel is more essential in some ways. But there are hundreds of thousands of people out there that rely on these sports for their livelihood. Players, coaches, school budgets, apparel companies, the list is fairly long.
I’m going to be in a really chitty mood this fall and winter when I’m sitting on cramped airplanes every week, hearing how irresponsible it would be to have college football and basketball.
