DBW Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 2 hours ago, EagleJoe8 said: Hearing what’s happening in baseball, and seeing the number of opt outs, I’m only reaffirming my belief that playing this season isn’t worth it. Keep in mind, these are just the early announced opt-outs. Likely many more are coming. This is also not including players that will eventually be lost due to actually testing positive. Just seems like it’s destined to be a major cluster F. It’s going to suck to have another season where carson yet again doesn’t finish when the league shuts down.

I just feel bad for him at this point. There’s no way they’re gonna get through this season. Guy can’t buy a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying the league has almost never shut down and they seem determined to keep it going this year regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaBeach_Eagle Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I haven't read any details from the league and NFLPA's agreement, if a player opts out, are they also opting out of their salary since they won't be part of the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I read they get a $150K stipend (those at high risk opting out get $350K). https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/07/28/texans-eddie-vanderdoes-opts-out/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is thinking about the health and safety of his family which he has every right to do. You are a piece of human garbage for saying that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only get so many years/opportunities to make a living in the nfl. id be trying to get that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame the guy with just having a baby (he and his wife had a few miscarriages) and not wanting to bring COVID home. Is there any evidence that Covid even affects babies?

According to the American association of pediatric.....8.9% of covid cases are children (289,000 cases) and that includes infants. The child death rate is .3% which is right in line with the overall mortality rate. Kids, infants included, can and do get and can and do die from it. there 88,000 new child cases this week alone which equates to a 44% increase. wake up homey https://services.aap.org/en/pages/2019-novel-coronavirus-covid-19-infections/children-and-covid-19-state-level-data-report/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he lost 3 kids before that and the child is considered high risk, as would be the mother. Can you really blame him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you really blame him? It’s his decision and I respect that. Personally, I just think it’s an overreaction. I’ve raised 2 healthy boys and if I had a newborn now I would still go to work. You have to weigh the risks and to me, the risk of a baby dying from Covid are very slim. More babies will die in car accidents but we still leave the house.
