“But, muh freedom” is another thing Nick Saban doesn’t have time for.

“... Shoot, why does anybody who’s ever won something do it again? Because it’s cool. So, let’s go do it again. Let’s see if we’ve got what it takes.” -- Stetson Bennett, The Athletic, 3/22/22
Well can you imagine the media storm if he would have said “In this country we have the freedom to make our own choices so I support that right for them”?

Well, considering he’s already cut a couple of PSAs urging people to wear masks, I assume the media storm you refer to would have been one calling him a flaming hypocrite.

Truthfully, it would have not been different without those PSA’s.

Truthfully, this is a strange form of logic at play.

This would have been a much more courageous message from Saban:
“I am in charge of nearly 100 young men and the attainment of their dreams and aspirations rely upon the containment of an infectious disease. But the only way to protect each other is to restrain people from acting upon their anti-social, ignorant and/or conspiratorial viewpoints. The freedom to not care about others, the liberty to be stupid and the privilege to engage in deranged insane nonsensical theories must be respected. While responsible, mature, moral and rational behaviors may result in bringing back normalcy, and college football, any insistence upon such, by me or anyone else, would place an undue burden upon freedom, which as we all know is a combination of the root words “free” and “dumb.” And dumb cannot truly be free if conditions are placed upon it.
In summation, freedom isn’t just free, to the extent any expression of freedom costs somebody else, like for example all of the members of my football team, I say ‘fuck ‘em.’
As a great and respected prophet once wrote:
‘Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.’
Go and do likewise.”

I agree with this. It’s the people who want to control how others think and act at the point of the sword that makes me cringe. I suppose most people are willing to accept tyranny as long as they agree with it without stopping to think what happens when they don’t.

I don’t know. I haven’t read the book, but I’m pretty sure 1984 is about a dystopian future where the government is too small and the people have too much freedom. Scary.

I hate the people that resist wearing a mask. It’s mostly a non-issue in my city with pretty strong compliance for some time now. Traveling through south carolina a month ago, you’d never know we were in a pandemic. I was pretty disappointed.
That being said, I wish we could get more people discussing WHICH MASK MATERIALS are the best to use…….the importance of sealing the mask, how to wear it properly. You can get masks / materials that ACTUALLY PROTECT YOU from getting the virus, in addition to the well known lecture of thwarting aerosol disbursement for the protection of others. Why is the public not getting more info on this stuff that would really really help ? It’s like everybody thinks the symbolism of any old thing will do enough. If I’m going to be wearing something across my face, may as well actually do the job of preventing me from getting the virus, no ?

A conspiracy theorist would say that it’s less about #science and more about compliance and virtue signaling.

I think for purposes of not having time for shit, the only thing more powerful would include a can of Tab. Still a Coca-cola product, btw.
Tab is the Prince Andrew of Coke.
