Of course it did. Just as when we have discussed CTE, kneeling for the anthem, BLM, etc. I just find it comical as well as quite annoying, that when discussions veer into the "uncomfortable" range for you and a few others when it comes to something like Covid, you want to censor, put a bubble over the discussion and shut it down. If people are offended by the discussion, which for the most part was rather civil, given the subject matter, then don't go back to the thread. One of the mods posted a nice post discussing the loss of a friends wife due to covid. I didn't have a problem reading that, it brings reality into a situation that some think is fantasy.
Yes this is a sports Forum, but if all you want to discuss is Football in a bubble, good luck.
