couple of things:
flu mortality rate is .1% per infected seasonally. 34,000 deaths/35,000,000 infected (2018-2019)
covid 19 mortality rate is 3% per infected, not .3% 160,000 deaths/4,000,000 infected (estimated as of today)
secondly, postponing the season has nothing to due with the first amendment. not by a long shot. institutions taking measures to insure public health in no way is connected to anything protected by the first amendment.
say what you want about DeWine, but he is not congress inacting any laws prohibiting you from practicing your faith or criticizing the government. again postponing the season has nothing to due with any of the freedoms protected by the first amendment. not even barely related.
if you don't like the season being postponed, the first amendment does guarantee you the right to go downtown and protest YSU.
The "mortality rate" term refers to an entire population, not the infected subgroup. The typical reference is CFR or IFR, which seems to be what you're trying to refer to.
The 3% IFR figure was trafficked back when the initial "15 days to flatten the curve" was first introduced, and there were also outlandish panic-inducing models predicting mass casualties that were also introduced, that like the 3% CFR, have proven to be not just false, but extremely harmful as they resulted in unconstitutional overreactions that led to enormous personal and economic hardships such as suicide, unemployment, and drug overdoses. These are typically collectively labeled "lockdown deaths", and as a part of the massive data collection fraud, are often counted as COVID deaths.
Here are some related references I hope you find helpful:

Across 32 different locations, the median infection fatality rate was 0.27% (corrected 0.24%). Most studies were done in pandemic epicenters with high death tolls. Median corrected IFR was 0.10% in locations with COVID-19 population mortality rate less than the global average (<73 deaths per million as of July 12, 2020), 0.27% in locations with 73-500 COVID-19 deaths per million, and 0.90% in locations exceeding 500 COVID-19 deaths per million. Among people <70 years old, infection fatality rates ranged from 0.00% to 0.57% with median of 0.05% across the different locations (corrected median of 0.04%). The last sentence highlights the lunacy of postponing athletic competitions for healthy, fit, young adults.
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/stanford-study-suggests-coronavirus-might-not-be-as-deadly-as-fluhttps://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-07-deadly-coronavirus-true-fatality-tricky.htmlThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently has a best guess of 0.65% for the IFR. Again for clarification, the IFR of 0.65% encompasses only the infected cases, and not the general population. Using your "mortality rate"...and applying it to the general population (infected plus noninfected), it would be a fraction of that small fraction.
Regarding the First Amendment, the article posted stated,
"A new order in Ohio signed Aug. 1 allowing contact sports, but without fans, reportedly applies to the state's NFL and college football teams." In other words, the governor is prohibiting his subjects from peacefully assembling at an NFL game. The Tenth Amendment allows the states to address issues not covered in the first nine Amendments, which of course, the Freedom of Assembly is. Another flagrant constitutional violation is the mask "mandate", but that's a whole other topic. Fun fact...lots of randomized controlled trials have investigated the effectiveness of masks in preventing respiratory viral transmission...and not a single one reveal benefit...even use including of N95s...one revealed harm using cloth masks. It's a shame to see an educational institution such as YSU traffic propaganda slogans like "don't make me ask...wear a mask" instead of taking an evidence-based approach.
So he is a criminal and a tyrant, and if the Constitution matters, and if there is equal justice under the law, he should be arrested and tried.
