Yeah and let me guess what would help the economy, massive corporate tax breaks?
there’s plenty of safeguards in place to protect against frivolous lawsuits, but let’s not let facts get in the way of the right wing corporate attorney mantra that has been going strong since the 1980s.
tort reform does one thing very well, protects a reckless or malicious defendant from having to pay appropriately for damages.
Football not happening in the fall would be mainly so the big state schools could have a chance at more fans in the stands in the spring. If we are still at the same point, they haven’t lost anything. If things are better, they get to bring in a ton more revenue.
The liability aspect of schools and college football is silly. There’s no more liability towards a football player than a sophomore history major. Everyone is given a choice what they want to do, there’s no forced attendance or forced playing football.
The AD at Ohio St has been chirping about spring ball since April, always referencing how important it is to have their stadium packed. Guess which conference went to conference only first and is about to say no fall football first? This is about $$$$$, not health or lawsuit liability.
