It's actually all in the same type of vein, it's all selfishness, I want muh futballs, I don't care that these dudes are people. Same ask that mask shit, I don't wanna wear one so **** everyone else, same type of thought process.

If virus safety is your concern, then there is arguably no safer environment to be in currently than to be actively part of a professional sports team.

Even in MLB, the positive test rate is well below the positive rate in most states.

The current positive test rate in the NFL is 2% and they have access to world class facilities that are following the most strict social distancing/mitigation protocols available, with access to unlimited resources/technology (including daily testing).

Not sure why anyone who had access to that would voluntarily give it up unless they plan to live a life of 100% absolute strict self-quarantine/lockdown.

I figure the guy's decision is his own, so he can do whatever he wants. However, as we've always heard, the first $1 million is the hardest to get. If I was a rookie mid-rounder on my first contract, I'd be very reluctant to opt out if I'm a normal risk profile. You might end up disappearing off the roster never to return.

Quit being pussies and just get the virus already.

I was reading an article about the safety precautions that the league is taking and something I found to be pretty cool is that all players and staff have to wear proximity monitors, so that accurate contact tracing can take place if someone becomes infected. They are also doing testing every day for the 1st 2 weeks of training camp and if the percent positive drops below 5%, then they go to every other day testing.

Does anyone know if baseball is doing any type of proximity monitoring? Seems that would be the absolute best way to keep an outbreak from happening.

Guess we'll be throwing a lot of quick 3 step drop passes...

I think you need to take a math lesson.

2,000,000 cases GLOBALLY not deaths.

More realistic that 20,000,000 had it and most recovered. Asymptomatic.

32,800 dead in NY
15,840 dead in NJ
9,800 dead in Cali
8,600 dead in Mass
7,700 dead in IL

Top 5 states with deaths and all heavily leaning Democratic voters. That's a good thing

Dude, WTF is wrong with you? People dying from a transmissible disease is never a good thing. Who cares what their political ideology is? I fall on the right side of the aisle too, but wow. Why would you care more about being right than having mass numbers of people die?

He’s a worthless old **** that has to pay for sex because he’s so miserable that no one would want to be around him without getting money.

JFC, banned how many times and still can't wait to show his ass as being a vile human being.

I can't wait until Ebola whips out the 1000 compasses he has saved from his years of teaching and starts hurling them at Iowanian like ninja stars, that will be sweet.

[Iowanian]

You kind of have been....

It's good to see people with such sound mind, reasoning and communication skills in charge of indoctrinating the future leaders of the country.

I guess everyone isn't looking for a free payday, dooooosh.

you're literally the most reeruned high school graduate that iowa ever pooped out. jesus christ, you've gotten by with the 'omg he was from the first day of chiefsplanet! and he insults people!' schtick for decades literally.

you should be kinda sad, really. you're still iowanian from 7/31/2000.

bro, I've graduated high school, college, gotten a phd, gone through a childless divorce, gotten married, had two kids, and gotten a chiefs super bowl. this and many life events have shaped me since then. many personal beliefs and things have changed, I've evolved.

you're still you. the average person changes fundamentally every seven years or so data says. you're still mongoloid iowanian. god I feel so bad for brideiowanian. do you drag your knuckles when you walk still, all these two decades later? ever gotten a 23 and me? I suspect a lot of neanderthal DNA.

****ing evolve, man. life changes, you need to change with it otherwise you're just another boomer.
