Three Tennessee players, five personnel test positive for COVID-19

Crap crap crap

can’t say it’s surprising though. It was just a matter of time. The only way they could have pulled this season off would be to follow the nba’s lead.

 

I understand your point but the players knew what they signed up for by agreeing to play and not opting out. If you cancel one game and mess up a few teams schedules you are gonna have to do it again if this happens later in the year. I’ll say it again it’s the Titans issue and they should have to deal with it not the Steelers or the Ravens or any other team. If that means forfeiting or playing without practicing all week then so be it. Again it’s not the Steelers problem the Titans got Corona and they shouldn’t have to pay the price for it. Switching bye weeks is not fair and you won’t be able to do this in every instance this happens which isn’t fair either.

 

What ever happens to next man up?

 

I recognize the concerns with COVID. However, postponing the game now would put the Steelers at a great disadvantage. Players use the bye week to recover, wind down and get ready for the remainder of the season. Our guys are still practicing, putting wear and tear on their bodies. Essentially, if the game is rescheduled, the NFL would be robbing the Steelers of a bye week

 

There is a human element to this. If you are a player that has to go up against a team that has experienced an outbreak, you would be concerned.

Cam Heyward is asthmatic. I am sure he has concerns. Some of these players my have at risk loved ones at home. If this game ends up being played, I would not be surprised to see some players sit out.

 

If the pandemic has shown us anything it’s that we as a nation are a bunch of self centered whiney little bitches.

 

Like I said it’s the Titans issue having to deal with this so they should be the ones to pay the biggest penalty at the end of the day not the Steelers. The Titans should have to play this game without practicing all week I feel before forcing the Steelers to move their bye week around and play 13 straight weeks. Again it’s the Titans issue and they are the ones who should suffer the greatest consequences not the Steelers.

 

This is why the US leads the world in covid cases and deaths. I call it man-baby syndrome. Symptoms include not giving a **** about anyone but your self and ignoring all facts for the sake of "fairness". Seems to only be prevalent in the US.

 

I dont know dude. My wife is currently pregnant with our fourth child. If I had to play in this game I wouldn't be worried for myself, but for the health of her and the baby. It's easy to sit back and judge when you dont know other people's situations. These players are also people with families.

 

I am surprised that Texas, Florida, California, Az teams are not infected
with the amount of covid in these area's is truly amazing

 

Four-feit and 0 sounds good to me

 

Not to sound like a cold dude but then the players should have opted out then like they were given the choice to do in the summer before training camp. Cam Heyward or any other player knew this was a possibility going into the season that they might encounter this situation playing against an opponent who’s team got Corona. He knew the risk and still chose to play and not opt out so he must have not been that concerned about it because that’s the decision he chose to make.

 

Are you saying Cam Heyword should be willing to die for our entertainment?

 

This is very likely to become a Steelers problem.

 

I dont know. It only takes one guy to muck it up for everyone. These are young rich guys in their 20s and 30s. All it takes is messing with a chick that has it, and all the sudden you get 8 people infected.

As for players sitting out, Cam Heyward was a bit iffy on playing the season with his asthma. I wouldn't be surprised if someone in his situation considers sitting this one out. I can't imagine the Steelers would hold it against him if he did.

 

no. You completely misunderstood. There are far too many people in this country that don’t take the time to think of anyone else. It’s all about me me me.

 

Not at all. If I was saying that I would be one of the self centered whiney little bitches I was referring too.

 

My bad bro. Lol
