Marco Rubio threatening violence against universities and football coaches?

@jentaub
Are you threatening to use violent force against the football coaches and universities who made this decision based on the science?

Marco Rubio
@marcorubio
I think I found a way to get some of the people who want to cancel football this year to change their minds,but we will have to make a few equipment & uniform changes. Apparently this new equipment makes Covid a non-issue.

Appears everywhere like that. Either somebody did a photoshop on a pic that went out on a newswire, or those helmets really have that on them.

to send Soviet stormtroopers to American universities to force them to participate in sports?

I took a couple screen shots of it before he had a chance to delete it. This should be thrown in his face several times a day until his ventilator is removed and he receives last rites.

clearly saying that if the football players dressed like this then the people wanting to cancel football this year would be OK with playing.

Thats dumb and tries to paint everyone worried about the virus as ANTIFA black bloc members.....but it is a world away from threatening coaches and administrators.

We need to make sure we arent crying wolf....because there ARE wolves out there and we need to keep credibility to call them out.
