新冠来了,橄榄球还玩吗?
A semi-full slate of college football games is scheduled for this weekend as a season unfolds....anxiously.
随着新赛季的展开,一场半场的大学橄榄球比赛将在本周末如期举行。
Already, two of the five major Division 1 conference have decided not to play this fall because of the coronavirus.
由于新冠病毒的原因,五个一级赛区中的有两个已经决定退出今年秋天的比赛。
At the same time, high school football is happening in more than 30 states this fall.
与此同时,今年秋天,超过30个州将举办高中橄榄球赛。
And so is a debate over whether it's right, or reckless, to let teenagers play a game considered high risk for COVID-19 transmission.
让青少年玩这种被认为是高危易感染新冠病毒的游戏是正确还是鲁莽的争论也是如影随形。
With the required tip of the cap to Texas, high school football is a really big deal in Alabama too.
在德州的重视氛围下,高中橄榄球在阿拉巴马州也是一件大事。
Many in the stands did mask up.
看台上的许多人都戴上了面罩。
But overall, the crowd probably would've gotten a C-minus grade in social distancing.
但总的来说,人群在社交距离方面的得分可能只有c -。
"I guess what Coach Rose would like to do is have the state or some entity pay for the testing for all the students and the coaches," said Ron Ingram, the Assistant Director at the AHSAA.
“我猜罗斯教练想要做的是让国家或某些实体为所有学生和教练支付考试费用,”美国橄榄球协会的助理主任罗恩·英格拉姆说。
"That would be admirable if the funding was there."
“如果有资金的话,那将是令人钦佩的。”
It's not – in Alabama or most other states.
然而在阿拉巴马州或其他大多数州,情况并非如此。
Ingram says Alabama acknowledges the risk of football and coronavirus, but believes it can be mitigated with safety protocols the state does have.
英格拉姆说,阿拉巴马州承认橄榄球和新冠病毒的风险,但相信它可以利用安全措施来降低风险。
"We're not going to sit here and lament that we don't have something," Ingram said.
“我们不会坐在这里哀叹我们没有什么物资,”英格拉姆说。
"We're going to work with what we have. And what we have are dedicated, professional teachers, adminstrators, coaches that really want the best for their children, that God graced them with to look after."
“我们将利用现有资源。我们所拥有的是专注的、专业的教师、管理人员和教练,他们真的希望能照顾好这些上帝交到他们手里的孩子。”
Ingram adds it still needs to be established whether or not football is the potential spreader Mark Rose fears.
英格拉姆补充说,橄榄球是否会成为罗斯担心的潜在传播者还有待确定。
"Right now, we don't have enough data to say playing football ups that risk," he said.
“现在,我们还没有足够的数据表明橄榄球会增加这种风险,”他说。
"That same teenager [who plays football], if he goes to the local McDonald's on a Friday night with his friends, that same risk, he still goes back home to the same parents and to the same grandparents."
“那个玩橄榄球的少年,如果他在周五晚上和朋友去当地的麦当劳,同样会有风险,他回到家仍然会面临同一个父母,同一个祖父母。”
