Not everyone is going to have the same outcome. Of course, but he’s not a professional athlete in peak condition. There’s a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might, assuming they recover fully. This isn't a cold. But once it's in the facility anything can happen. Look at the Marlins and what's happening with the Phillies. 3 hours ago, DawkinsOwnage03 said: Freeman on the Braves got covid and was on the field in two weeks He thought he was going to die. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/braves/2020/07/18/braves-freddie-freeman-describes-covid-battle-please-dont-take-me/5465904002/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what he thinks now. I think here he could be meaning that why worry about something you can't control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lane should pass around the virus to the other 52 players and get this out of the way now. Some people who are "low risk" still die. Others end up with life-long damage to heart, lungs, etc. The idea that it should be passed around to anyone is truly insane. There is no way that the NFL should be having a season at all under these circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because someone doesn’t have severe reaction to the virus doesn’t mean It’s low risk. Their health is their lively-hood. Medical professionals are still learning more and more about this virus each day. Saying they should just all ‘get it and move on’ so you can watch football is frankly asinine. Truth. I'd "Like" it, but it don't like it. I wish it wasn't true, but it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I remember reading was Lane stating he felt "strong and ready to go" when he completes the required quarantine/testing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonblood Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 MLB is going to have to shut down. Sadly, it looks like the NFL will follow. They just don't have the ability to "bubble" like the NBA, which sucks. Man, the word is in bad shape right now. We gotta hang in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL may not be able to bubble, but considering they fine people for wearing socks a certain way they most assuredly can tell players, staff, and so on to self quarantine or don’t play/get paid this season. We all are worried about players being in bubbles while we the people are out here going at it the best we can. Players need to use some common sense.

We have 3 players that were placed on the reserve/COVID list (from either having tested positive or were in close contact with someone who has and are therefore in quarantine).

Forcing sports during this pandemic is dumb. First, it’s described as a mild complication and he’s expected to make a full recovery. Second, what does it have to do with playing sports? Do we know he got the Covid from playing baseball? Is playing baseball more risky than going to the supermarket or interacting with your family, I could make an argument that baseball is less risky because those guys are being tested all the time. Those working in restaurants and supermarkets are not being tested at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its truly a shame that people will use politics to deflect blame and accountability for the total mishandling of this situation. You want football back? We could have had that but people are too selfish and stupid. Look at how other countries are doing compared to the US. It’s embarrassing. Please just stop with this BS.

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Thing is... Once these guys get in to camp, if they test positive then surely the players they have been in close proximity to could also then test positive? Surely there's a risk that the entire OL for a team could go down? Or the entire QB room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
