“ Call of Duty ” should be ashamed of this stupid decision .

The “OK” hand signal has been wiped from “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.”
According to the Independent, the popular hand gesture has been removed from the hit video game. The Independent reported that developer Infinity Ward and publisher Activision aren’t commenting on why the gesture was scrubbed, but it could certainly be tied to the fact some people view it as racist. (REVIEW: ‘Westworld’ Season 3 Ends With The Possible Deaths Of Multiple Characters)
As pointed out by BroBible, Infinity Ward released a statement in June about removing racism from the game. Not long after that, the hand signal was nuked. The “OK” hand signal, which has been around forever, is viewed as racist by some thanks to a 4Chan troll job, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
The craziest part about this whole situation is that “Call of Duty” isn’t the only thing to scrub the “OK” signal over the 4Chan hoax.
San Jose State announced they would stop doing their spartan helmet sign because it resembles the “OK” sign.
The “Spartan Up” hand gesture will be retired as a San José State tradition because it closely resembles the “white power” hand gesture, announced SJSU President Mary Papazian in a campuswide email Thursday.

How pathetic has society become that 4Chan hoaxes can now get popular hand gestures removed from video games and football game day activities?
We’re living in an absolutely pathetic time. Just how racist is this horrific symbol?

Former USC superstar Matt Leinart thinks moving college football to the spring could be very dangerous for the players .

Outside of the fact that elite players will sit out , how do you make it safe to play football twice in 2021 ?
If you move football to the spring and end it at some point in May , then you have players getting right back to work in June .
That means some players will have a couple weeks to recover from the football season .
That ’ s going to be an absolute disaster .
Players need months and months to heal up for the injuries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They don ’ t need a few weeks .
Short of moving football to the spring forever , you simply can ’ t play games in April and then again the following September .
As I told somebody Wednesday night , you might as well just save time and tear players ’ ACLs for them .
We ’ ll see what happens , but moving games to the spring is a recipe for disaster .

The affects of playing two “football seasons” in one calendar year on these kids bodies would be catastrophic. No recovery time, bodies still growing. There would be great risk involved.
