Hurricane-Swept Notre Dame vs. NC State Game Has Ceased to Be a Football Game

Just in case you forgot that the NCAA basically amounts to unpaid slave labor, the Notre Dame vs. NC State game is here to remind you: NCAA don't give a fuck.

It seems improbable—nay, impossible—that the NCAA didn't know that Hurricane Matthew was on its way up the East Coast of the United States. Its trajectory has only been mapped and headlining every newspaper worth its salt, from coast-to-coast, for the past week. So why in God's name did the ACC allow Notre Dame and NC State to play in this weather?

Oh yeah, that's right. $212 million in TV rights. What a bunch of horrific human beings that would prioritize their blood-and-CTE-stained money over a safe—and fair, mind you—game between teams.

Did Greg McElroy seriously say the #ACC wouldn't put the kids in harm's way? They're literally playing in the middle of a hurricane!

Just in case you missed it in the video, yes. Greg McElroy actually did say that the ACC would never put kids in harm's way. And how does he know? Because they take time to make decisions.

Also, Greg McElroy is a "player" and therefore a man, and so all he knew was play, play, play, and to ignore a hurricane when it lands on your doorstep. A ridiculous bunch of proto-masculine posturing that ignores that football can end the careers of these kids in a heartbeat, or a slip of a cleat. All because Fat Cat needs a new cigar.

Just take a look at this garbage from the game, and try to tell me that this game is safe.

The Notre Dame Center can't even snap the ball it's so messy in today's game https://t.co/AKaHF94M04

Nope, friends. This is no longer a football game. It's just potential-injury porn.
