Not sure what you're getting angry about. I'm just pointing out that any unvaccinated Seton hall player potentially might not be able to play at Prudential center games the rest of the season after January 10 If thats the case, our dream season is definitely in danger.

I’m more worried about the players health than our dream season. If they and their doctor agree it’s not for them, find another place to play. Be like the Toronto Blue Jays.
You win. Fight the good fight buddy. Changing the world here.
I think it’s far more likely you’d have a Kyrie Irving situation where the players don’t play home games.
Wait, shu09 doesn't like trans people? Colored me shocked!
By the way, I asked you to abide by Dan's wishes regarding content of this board. Not mine. Why do you continuously disrespect Dan by ignoring his repeated polite requests?
Anyway, for the good of the board I propose the following: If you promise to contain your Fauci Derangement Syndrome to the life off the ship board through Jan 6 (happy early anniversary, by the way) then I'll promise to read the first 100 pages of your manifesto. And to prove I actually follow through, you can send me a follow-up quiz where I have to score at least 80% on reptile people questions.
Do we have a deal?
That’s their choice. I hope they do what’s best for their physical health. We always hear how players are admired by fans. Let’s hope that stays true regardless of their vaccination status. There’s a lot more important things in life than sports. Health is one of them.
Don't put words in my mouth, troll.
I've been a poster on this board for 16 years. Dan has never once asked me to not share my thoughts, which is just a small example of why he's the best.
Not sure why you're making this political. Covid should not be a political issue. But you do you!
No money in just the regular cold or flu. Want to make the big bucks? Covid is your diagnosis of choice!
Yes, I read this thread hoping to find some hoops talk. Unfortunately it’s really screwed up . Same 3-4 guys yelling at each other. And posting on a basketball forum will have absolutely no impact on decision makers at the BE or anywhere else.
Dan has asked EVERYONE to stop posting the same covid stuff in every thread and you are a top 1-2 incessant covid stuff poster!
Don't think so? Here's an even easier deal: Neither of us will post about covid on the main board. What do you say, troll? I guarantee you I will have no problem sticking to that and honoring Dan's requests. Since you're such a good boy 16-year board veteran rule follower, I'm sure it won't be any problem for you either. Problem solved!
Isn't that like asking how come the flu bug runs through a team at least once every year?
Nobody wants more games cancelled.
The comment about mixing 8K fans still is telling when it comes to constant conflicting bullshit along the way.
will anyone admit nobody currently knows anything about medium to long term impacts of virus or vax?
Because people are not vaccinated.
Everyone has had enough of Covid We come here to get away from it. Then you and 1993 just dont shut up about it.
No idea how you dont see this.
FFS can we finally just ban these two morons constantly sniping at each other before this board becomes completely unreadable? Stinks that there’s really nowhere else to go aside from Jerry C to get info on this team. I can’t wait for Wednesday so this garbage might finally stop!
Um, I don’t know if you’ve noticed but those really haven’t been working all that well. Just because you’re forced to get ‘em doesn’t mean they actually do anything positive for ya.
Just absolutely incorrect here.
Less chance you get infected, and if you do get infected the chances of severe disease are significantly lower.
In case you haven't noticed, Seton Hall basketball games are being canceled because of it!
The stupidity of this take is breathtaking. The vaccines do not stop transmission. The only prevent you, the recipient, from dying (from a virus with a 99%+ survival rate, but that's another story).
You're free to not read any content you don't want to read.
In case you haven't noticed, Seton Hall hasn't played in 17 days. What are we supposed to talk about? Maybe the issue why Seton Hall hasn't played in 17 days?!?! But no, let's ban posters because you don't agree with them and because they're talking about the EXACT ISSUE why Seton Hall hasn't played in 17 days.
Clown.
Write your elected officials. Write business leaders. Write sports leaders. Pretty much anyone who is in a "leadership" (that's ironic, as they are showing none) position. Stop the madness and the government overreach.
They do not stop transmission. They absolutely do reduce your chances of bing infected and they also reduce the risk you would spread it if you get infected.
There is just so much hypocrisy in every decision (and in some responses).
Knowing what we know about the transmission (and Omicron is highly transmissible), it's perfectly fine to have a sell-out arena (even with masks) of people screaming and droplets going everywhere (even within shouting distance of the players).
It's okay to take your mask off and eat/drink; like somehow the virus decides to pause on transmission when you do this....lol. But we have posters that get on their high and mighty soap box about doing something for the greater good while they drink a coke and eat a stale pretzel, because that's totally safe.
Hospitalizations and deaths right now are made up of three groups:
1) Unvaccinated that had no discussion with their physician
2) Vaccinated and unvaccinated that have comorbidities and have not addressed them
3) Vaccinated and unvaccinated that just waited to long to get their symptoms addressed

The only thing they do is make you 100% susceptible to the side effects they don’t want to tell you exist.
Going back to normal should be the goal though and no matter when or how that happens, if you are hunting for contradictions, you will find plenty. Considering that conference leadership will have different considerations than schools that will have different considerations than arenas etc, there isn't going to be a response where everyone gets everything right.
Yes. I do want to believe the truth which is backed up by the data and scientific studies on the topic.
Honestly not even sure how you could possibly believe that at this point.
I was commenting beyond college basketball. Some of the rules/suggestions are comical. Same thing with masks on planes. Somehow when you eat your snack or have a drink the virus decides not to spread. We have universities that have full vaccine mandates that have gone virtual. Common sense has left the building.
Common sense went out the window for good in March of 2020 after years of decline.
You're arguing a point no one is making there though. No one says snacking will eliminate the possibility of transmission. They are trying to make an accommodation with self governance for removing your mask for short periods.
Wearing a mask reduces the amount of the virus you would be spreading around you if you are contagious.
If you take it off for a minute to eat or drink, yes, you would be shedding the virus around you more than you would have if you wore the mask the entire time. Though it would still be less than if you were wearing no mask at all.
On schools going virtual with a vaccine mandate, I agree.
People forced to wear masks who don't have the virus aren't shedding anything. That is the vast majority of the crowd.
I'm commenting on the hypocrisy. The guidelines don't say "taking it off for a minute". I could sit there for a half hour if I had a bottle of water in my hand.
Masks don't do a heck of a lot if you're yelling and screaming as you would expect fans to do.
The guidelines want us to be capable of self governance.
I am sure people will look for a loophole in the rule. Doesn't mean we shouldn't have the rule for the majority of people who are capable of following it.
