Cam Heyward not sure if he plays in 2020 or not:

You’re concerned about having snot on your face that nobody can see? Talk about first world problems.
They asked us to refrain from buying the n95 masks because there was a shortage. So they were trying to make sure that healthcare professionals and first responders were protected. They asked us to stay the **** home, social distance, and wear a ****ing mask when we had to go out. Sadly that’s too much of a burden on a portion of society.

no shoes no shirts no service- no problem
Wear your seatbelts to save lives- no problem
Blah blah blah

but heaven forbid you’re asked to wear a mask during a pandemic. Mah freeeedoms you’re taking away my freeeeeedoma

**** off karen and Kevin

 

How about pulling your mask down a bit, it's covering your eyes. Or maybe pull it out of your ass long enough to think. It's cutting off airflow to your brain.

I said I don't have a problem wearing a mask. Get off your high horse. You're not even close to the voice of moral authority, so don't kid yourself. Good grief.

 

100% sensible. Couldn't agree more. I work for an essential business. We are one of the largest volume ag-supply businesses on the east coast. Our walk-in traffic is constant from open to close. We have signs in the parking lot, entry doors, and all throughout the showroom, sales offices, and service department. We have kiosks in strategic locations that used to be interactive touch screens, but now loop nothing but CDC-approved messaging about preventing the spread of viruses. We have mask stations, hand sanitizing stations, and directional paths for managing traffic in and out of the building. And that is just a portion of our efforts to protect our customers and ourselves. We take this seriously. But we're not doing enough. We can't. Because we don't really know what we're doing. No one does.

If you ask 100 people what they've heard about prevention and what they believe about it as a result, you will get a multitude of different answers. Sensible guidance isn't enough, for our health or from those who should really be in the know.

 

Even less guidance is being given to schools, yet some knucklehead wants to just send kids back in the fall.

 

School starts in about 4 weeks here...tough choice for parents.

 

They more or less risk their lives and definitely their livelihood every time they walk onto the field. Vaccines won't be any better than the ones they have now for flu shots imho. The efficacy is questionable.

 

Yes.


However, these circumstances are different. Injuries are not the only aspects to watch out for now. A disease that has no cure and has proven to be a killer magnifies the risk.


For that matter, injuries within American Gridiron Football are not a risk. That comes with the profession. A rapidly spreading, seemingly unstoppable disease is not within the job description. That is, by all accounts, a risk.



Cameron Heyward is playing it right in my opinion. No way is a sport worth dying for if one gets infected. Others have felt the same. Until a cure is found, more players will commit to not playing like Cam.

 

I thought his choice had more to do with helping on the front lines than fear of the pandemic? Is that not the case?

Edit: article I read said he was helping as an orderly at a hospital. If that's the case he is a heck of an individual and i salute his choice.

 

Covid can hit someone hard. Even a healthy 8 yr old boy that is struggling for his life here in Florida. The uncertainty about the virus that our medical gurus are experiencing is telling with his story.

Hospitalized with a fever, tested negative, sent home. Mom knew something was still wrong because he developed another fever of 105 & took him to another hospital. Kid tested positive this time & not sure to make it.
This Chief gets it. I'm thankful he is in a position to make the choice he did.

 

"More will follow I bet," ???

Do you really think there are more Doctors playing in the NFL that may return to their practices?

He is not sitting out for fear of his health or his families; he is going to the front lines to help people!

Did those children have other conditions too? Just wondering because any age with underlying conditions seems to be the major factor.

 

Interesting. I have no idea how this will work. One thing for sure sports as we knew it will not be the same. How many key players will stop playing at some point during season???? Just can't see this ever ending. A cure could never happen and I don't see how the virus will just one day give us a call and say, "I'm out of here."

I saw where the NY Mets put cardboard cutouts of humans in all their box seats. IMO it look so stupid but maybe it gave the players a feeling of normalcy.

 

Have you seen the stuffed toys paying for seats in Asia steel machine?

Florida may not be the best place to hold your leagues season.

 

I keep hearing younger people with no underlying conditions dying yet other articles are saying it’s extremely rare and not likely to happen. Then CDC wants schools to open because young ones should be fine.

So which is it?

 

The cdc does not just want schools to open. The president wants schools to open because he thinks it will help in his bid for re-election. You can actually read the 69 page guideline by the cdc the whitehouse crapped all over.

 

Depends on who you are voting for n November and which "news" you listen to.

 

I think its fair to say that the WHO and CDC reputation and credibility is in the tank at this point. Its ok to riot together but not worship. OK, got it.

 

only if you’re a dumbass

 

Could be a nefarious plan like giving blankets to the Indians.
