This GIF shows what gates at Neyland will look like on Sept 26 if they open the stadium to full capacity. (Not employees by the way)

So, players are employees now?

You probably don't realize it, but you're actually, finally starting to get where this thing's going...

 

[hog88]

Oh really? Heh.

Forgotten about that pesky OSHA thingee?

You have the right to a safe workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) was passed to prevent workers from being killed or otherwise harmed at work. The law requires employers to provide their employees with working conditions that are free of known dangers.

And by providing guidance and proper PPE they will have provided a safe workplace. Plus our legislature is about to pass lawsuit protection so suck it.

I have realized the truth all along. Players get to choose if they play or not. Employees get to choose if they work or not. Fans get to choose if the attend or not. SEC gets to choose if they have the season or not.

Shhh...Monty thinks he is the smart one on the thread.

 

[hog88]

Are Walmart or Publix employees slobbering on, snoting on, breathing on, hitting and tackling each other? I don't think so.

When's the last time you were in a WalMart?

Oh, yeah?

Kids are gonna wear "proper PPE" while playing on the football field? FAIL.

Tennessee Lawsuit Protection Act? Ohhh... you mean this one? FAIL.

Just to state the obvious, convening the Assembly does not equate to actually passing CV19 legislation. If it failed in the Spring, why would it pass now? Do tell.

Because the COC has really pushed it since and this is an election year.

A week from tomorrow night, teams across Tennessee will be doing the same!

 

[kiddiedoc]

Any of the legal "experts" know if we dared to hold football games during the H1N1 pandemic? Also, could you report on the lawsuit outcomes?

 

[tntar heel]

The trophy for the game! I like it but they should have used bubble wrap.

Could be huge game changer

China should invade us now. There's a plethora of Estrogen-fueled dudes that will mandate surrender.

Not sure if your comment is directed towards me, but FWIW, our Boston office has been closed since March 8th, so nobody has been going to work.

Also, FWIW, our sales are up significantly and our productivity appears to remain at a high level, so it's working.
