As near as I can tell, The Movement, as it will come to be known, started in Clemson, South Carolina on Friday, August 31st at 7:31 p.m.

I don’t know about y’all, but we want to play.

80,000 people liked the suggestion.

The reasoning crystallized

If we were to cancel CFB, can you honestly tell me that (Power 5) players would be sent home to safer, healthier environments? None of these decisions are easy but I don't see this as a binary decision w/ regards to the best interest of player health when we're talking P5.

And, curiously, spread to PA (albeit in typically self-centered Nitter fashion, note the change of pronoun.)

Created inclusion

Let’s work together to create a situation where we can play the game that all of us love. Not divide and argue. There is a way forward

Was further articulated

People are at just as much, if not more risk, if we don’t play. Players will all be sent home to their own communities where social distancing is highly unlikely and medical care and expenses will be placed on the families if they were to contract covid19 (1)

Not to mention the players coming from situations that are not good for them/ their future and having to go back to that. Football is a safe haven for so many people. We are more likely to get the virus in everyday life than playing football. Having a season also incentivizes –

Players being safe and taking all of the right precautions to try to avoid contracting covid because the season/ teammates safety is on the line. Without the season, as we’ve seen already, people will not social distance or wear masks and take the proper precautions
