This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Correct, right decision and 2021 =/= 2020 by Irish2003
Personally (now antibodied + vaxed, FWIW, so not one of the hoax crowd), I would have gladly gone to games last year as I don't consider outdoor activities high risk, but also can understand ND acting on the side of caution with the uncertainty given 100k people coming in from across the country, lack of vaccines, and the (justified) priority on students being on campus vs. virtual. That said, I think Airborne nailed it below - people are mostly vaccinated, these are outdoor events, and at some point people have to balance risk/reward: if you're high risk, watch at home, if you're concerned there is nothing stopping you from wearing your N95, and otherwise just enjoy the game outdoors.
