It's not looking good.

The correct answer is politics is ruining it. Not just “Trumpers” or “Libtards”

The politics being discussed on the board is due to the (mostly) absence of sports . . . which is due to the virus and the many problems/divisions it has created.

The problem lies in politicizing a virus that could not give a 17 what political party you belong to. Then people stupidly listen to politicians and biased news services for advice instead listening to established, reputable medical and scientific institutions. There is basically the problem in a nutshell.

In your opinion, who has been the main contributor in politicizing the virus?

In my opinion, the liberal media (e.g., CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, New York Times, Washington Post, etc.) is the main contributor.

Back to the original point - haven't kept up today, but I think I heard that the B1G did indeed cancel fall sports, including football. Is that correct?

They cancelled it due to the political pressure, felt the return political pressure, and denied they ever voted on it. Last I heard prior to bed were having a(nother) vote to simply delay the season to in line with the SEC.

Markers on the virus look almost as good in B1G country as they do in SEC country. They are seeing spikes in Chicago and Indy right now, but the entire rest of their footprint is looking at a week over week decline in cases.

It is easy to apply blame evenly to both conservative and progressive news media.

The left is busy over dramatizing things and grossly over reacting. They seem more intent on making political points against Trump than actually reporting facts and news on the disease itself. Also the leftist dumbasses rioting sure as hell aren't helping to slow the progression of the virus and the left leaning media just seems to ignore that little factiod.

Meanwhile on the right they are busy digging up unproven and actually inflammatory conspiracy theory BS trying to blame the whole thing on the left by claiming it's all part of the big conspiracy to get rid of the orange haired one and further suggesting unproven possibly even dangerous cures and remedies. And while the left is bad at trying to hang everything on Trump he does make it easy for them just about every time he opens his big fat mouth. Low hanging fruit and such. I know a lot of you Trumpers are ready to type "he was just trolling the libs with those comments" BS. There is a time and place for jokes and such. This was NOT one of them. If you are a good leader and you don't know much about a subject (and Trump doesn't) you defer to the experts and shut the hell up. A good leader knows when to defer and hand off to qualified subordinates.

The big bottom line is this. The guy at the top is responsible for overseeing the governments response to a crisis. He has failed miserably. He claims anything positive is because of him and him alone and he puts failure upon his subordinates or the opposing party. Any of you in the business world that have worked for a boss like this know what an ******* this type of person is to work for. A GOOD boss always gives credit for success to his team and accepts responsibility for failure. A good boss does not criticize or belittle his subordinates in public. A good boss is more concerned with the welfare of ALL the people he leads and NOT just those who kiss his *** and his personal approval rating.

If the progressive news media:
1) "is busy over dramatizing things and grossly over reacting;" and
2) "seem more intent on making political points against Trump than actually reporting facts and news on the disease itself,"
then wouldn't the progressive news media necessarily be participating in a "conspiracy to get rid of the orange haired one?"
