just proves how stupid and easily convincible the general population is



How can super healthy 25 year olds worry about something that is only a significant risk to 70-90 year olds with severe health problems? you have 1,000 times the odds of dying from a car crash than you do from dying from covid as a pro athlete



is this like a giant experiment in how stupid the general population is?

What do you expect from pro athletes ? With a few exceptions, they are not exactly Einsteins.

The NFL players will be brain dead by 40 no matter what. I have no idea why a virus scares them. Either bullets, drugs or brain trauma is what should be on their minds.

It is simple you Opt in or opt out. No complaining before or after the fact.
The NFL is doing this right.

When you're a professional athlete covid doesn't have to kill you to end your career. If you are left with diminished lung capacity, it can make the difference between a 4.3 40 and separation from safeties and a 4.8 and not playing in the NFL.

Young people have died from Covid-19, irreparable damage to the lungs can be a result of the virus, and we've already seen how quickly it can spread among team members - but there will always be people whining because they can't watch the game.

Good God, pick up a book or something.

I don't have a problem with athletes being cautious about Covid risks. I don't understand why anyone would.
