You only get so many years/opportunities to make a living in the nfl. id be trying to get that money. Responsible adults can definitely do that. A lot of us do that now. But you are on the field with 40-something teammates and facing another 40-something opponents. Can you trust that every single one of them is being responsible and isolating outside of playing football? I don't. Which is why there will be outbreaks at various point in the season that spread to multiple teams if the season does indeed happen. I hope the season happens. But there are so many young NFL players that won't give a damn and just go out and party when they get the chance. This isn't a bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wants to spew his BS, but you know he ain't gonna stop watching the games. And if it wasn't for Jenkins the Eagles may not win a Super Bowl.

If the former, I don't think there will be a full season, no matter how much they want to avoid losing all that revenue. I just can't see at this point how they can really have a season. I mean unless they force all teams in to a bubble situation for the entire season which I don't see happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPIDER-MAN Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Nobody who is in their right mind should be ripping on players who want to avoid a high chance of getting a virus that could put the player and the family at risk. The NFL barely has any plan in place to keep their players and coaches protected. It's just not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDawk_ASamuel Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 With what Marquise has been through (his wife had three miscarriages), I don't fault him at all for this. He may be overreacting, but if anyone has a right to overreact it's him with what him and his family have been through. I don't fault him at all.

time2rock Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Marquise ... pay no attention to the small fraction of the fan base that are calling you out. Every fan base has their share of misinformed/irrational fans ... Philly is no different. The majority of us have your back! https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/07/29/marquise-goodwin-says-fans-are-calling-him-stupid-for-opting-out/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul852 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 People getting mad at these players for making decisions regarding THEIR life are pathetic. Get over it. You have no impact on their decisions. Deal with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it works like that though. For a start the organisation would appear extremely insensitive if it cut Goodwin right now for his decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people can do their jobs from home, perhaps better than sitting in a cubicle. An NFL receiver is not one of those. However, he has sickle cell which makes him high risk and I don't blame him a whit. He also get a $350,000 stipend being high risk i believe. Given that he was not a lock to make the roster makes the decision all the easier. Gonna be an interesting season, what there is of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't work from home myself but, my job does give me the option to not work if I don't feel safe. It's disturbing that people are throwing a fit because the guy is choosing the saftey of his family over playing an effing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few people that they won't call back to work because they have underlying health issues and the company or work place doesn't want to get sued if they get sick.

judunno Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Good for him. Not only can these guys lose their lives they can get clots, lose appendages, and have irreparable organ damage (kidneys, heart, liver, etc) let alone expose their families. They already have enough to worry about in terms of health just based on the nature of the game. If I had a few million in the bank I'd say see you in 2021 as well. Not worth it. NBA is the litmus test. If they can't pull it off in a bubble, for sure the NFL won't be able to. MLB is already Fd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
