The battle between the coronabros
and the Big Ten non-coronabros
Okay? Here's what we got going on.
And some people out there like Dan Wolken
Dan Wolken was mad at me
he's like, "why is Clay Travis trying to work"
"and get the Big Ten back to play?"
Which is ironic
because there are so many people out there
in sports media
who have done everything they could
to get college football stopped.
And I'm out there
fighting as hard as I can
to get college football back
to be a reality
this season
and a lot of people out there are like
"What are you doing?"
The blue checkmark brigade
the coronabros, they're upset
because I'm throwing punches back.
And the reality is this.
I'm not gonna apologize.
I'm not gonna apologize
for fighting the good fight
for  football and all sports to happen.
I believe, unlike the coronabros
that every single part
of sports should be back up and running.
From your kids little league
all the way up
to the NFL, Major League Baseball
NBA, you name it.
All sports should be being played
right now.
And I'm not gonna make any apologies
for doing whatever I can
to work with whoever I can
to make that more likely to happen.
So, if you want some meek
pathetic loser
who is gonna sit around
and allow other people to
take things from him
I ain't your guy.
If you want somebody who's gonna load up
and throw punches
harder than the punches that get thrown at him
then Outkick is your place
and I am your guy.
Because I am fighting for all of you
the players, the coaches, the parents, the fans
everybody in the Big Ten
who wants there to be college football this fall
I'm throwing punches
as hard as I possibly can
at the coronabros everyday
who are working their best to try to get
football cancelled.
Now, where are we?
Right now, we need to swing
six votes at least
to get the Big Ten back playing.
What do I mean by that?
The Big Ten voted 11-3 to
cancel the fall college football season.
The only three schools that voted in favor of playing
were Ohio State
Iowa
and Nebraska.
Okay?
What we have to do in order for play to come back
is get to 60% of the conference.
That means six states
have to flip their votes.
We need pressure on the
presidents and the chancellors
to look at the data, coronavirus cases are collapsing
the number of coronavirus deaths
quotation marks because
most people who are being counted as a coronavirus
death are actually just dying
with the coronavirus
not of the coronavirus.
Alright?
And so, if you start to work through here
the stat- what we need to do
here's where I'm gonna start
If you live in the state of Indiana
or we clip this and we share it so
Indiana residents can all see it
Notre Dame is playing with fans
in the state of Indiana.
What sense does it make
that Indiana and Purdue
with a Republican governor and a
former Republican governor
as the president of Purdue University
can't find a way to play?
That's two votes right now
that should immediately be flipped
State of Indiana
if you are watching this and you
are in the Hoosier state
your state is failing the Big Ten.
Purdue and Indiana
should be 100%
in favor of playing Big Ten football.
That happens? That gets us to five.
Where are the other four votes
that could make this happen?
Alright? Michigan.
Michigan should be ashamed of itself.
Michigan and Michigan State
should both be voting to play.
So should Wisconsin.
so should Penn State.
Boom.
That gets us to nine.
Right there, I just ran through it.
Now, you can put pressure on Minnesota
you can put pressure on Rutgers, which
let's be honest, is Rutgers
should Rutgers even count?
Why does Rutgers get a vote in the Big Ten anyway?
Can put pressure on Maryland
which is starting to open up in a big way.
All of the decisions
not to play
have been intensely political.
Okay?
And so, I don't think it's political
to be in favor of football.
I don't think football should be partisan.
I think it's absolute insanity
that if your kid lives in a state
with a Republican governor
he gets to play high school football.
If your kid lives in a state
with a Democratic governor
he does not get to play high school football?
What sense does that make?
The data is clear
there's virtually no risk
to young people playing sports
across this country
whether it's little league all the way through
pro sports, virtually zero.
Okay?
And so I am gonna fight
as hard as I possibly can
for the Big Ten.
I think we've already won the battle.
Tomorrow, college football FBS
officially kicks off.
I think we've already won the battle.
In the SEC, the ACC and the BIG 12.
But I don't wanna give the coronabros any victories.
I wanna line up and I want to drill them
over and over and over again
right in their pathetic, fearful, little mouths.
Alright? I wanna hit 'em
right in the teeth.
I want them to feel it
all the way to the core of their soul
I want them to wear this defeat
and I'm not gonna apologize
for fighting as hard as I can
alongside of the president
alongside the governor of Florida
the governor of Tennessee
the governor of Texas
governors of any state
senators, anybody out there
who's in favor of getting people back to work.
I want it to happen.
