Jim Harbaugh, on moving forward with plans for fall football season: "COVID is part of our society. It wasn’t caused by football or caused by sports. There’s no expert view right now that I’m aware of that sports is going to make that worse."— Austin Meek (@byAustinMeek) July 8, 2020

“We talk about the sanctity of life, yet we live in a society that aborts babies. There can’t be anything more horrendous.”

i think top college football coaches are an awfulness unto themselves
at least in the nfl the players get paid a little and none of the coaches are public employeees

wasn't there a map recently of all the top paid public employees in each US state and it was all fucking football coaches?

yeah, but as far as I know intercollegiate athletics departments tend to be self-funded. The football coach's salary isn't written into the state general fund budget.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess I really only know my employer, I guess as it says here the intercollegiate athletics dept is "the only school in the Pac-12 conference that doesn’t benefit from a student fee for athletics (at other schools, revenue from student fees range from $2.5-10M annually)."
― all cats are beautiful (silby), Thursday, 9 July 2020 00:05 (three years ago) link
they probably pay a lot of their revenue back to campus in taxes and recharge fees and so forth.
Not that college football is good; actually it's bad
― all cats are beautiful (silby), Thursday, 9 July 2020 00:06 (three years ago) link
but yeah there's no tax or student money going to our particular football coach, at least I can be happy about that.

friends of mine are freaking out about the bubonic plague nothingburger and the G4 pig flu thing. the latter is a much more concerning thing obv, as they say it has markers of a future pandemic, but it's not imminent or anything and they're monitoring it for a reason. kind of pointless to stay up sweating at night over something that hasn't infected a human yet.
re: plague, I just think my average friend doesn't know how to read a Wikipedia article.

This refusing to get testing thing is spreading in concerning ways. Do people think if they don't get tested they aren't a danger to others? I realise in some cases that its people fearing testing positive and having to leave their precarious job and maybe never getting it back or (in the case of Victoria) the justified fear engendered when cops in masks turn up on your doorstep asking to stick something up your nose
This is just one example that's maybe a bit more egregious:

it's actually pretty hard to get a test around here (2 hours wait if you're in line at 6am) and, except for one weekly shopping trip, i'm totally homebound. at the moment, i don't see the point in taking a test that is being rationed to people needier than me.

He said they have received "hundreds, if not thousands" of emails from other hospitality and catering companies "congratulating us on our forward thinking...who are begging us for our services of what we did. Las Vegas, Miami, LA, multiple giant organizations who have come to us and said, 'Wow, what you're doing is helping our industry not fail.'"
