Yes, I've been at home for 5 months as well In other words, your argument is all about the athletes being selfish, wanting people to risk their lives so they may get a chance to play nfl football. To keep them ALL safe and get us past covid so everyone can get back to work. Lacking consideration of others, to be concerned with ones own pleasure.Ĭancelling sports isnt about an individual, its about all the athletes, and because they WOULD risk everything to get the opportunity, and that is the best reason why it needs to be cancelled. I think you need to look at the definition of selfish. lower speed limit where road construction is occurring Wear a seatbelt/helmet on a motorcycle in some states Of course life involves risk, much of it we can protect ourselves from (seatbelts, not smoking, healthy lifestyle, condoms) they dont have a safe football model yet, do they?Ī few other risks society stops you from : That's a 180 turn from your "selfish" rant that you started with. So you continue to stay in your home bubble, while those of us who understand life involves risk will continue to go about our lives Which of course would do far more damage than the virus could do. This virus isn't going to just disappear unless we literally told everyone to stay home no matter what for a few months.
If you don't want that risk, more power to you. It's really disgusting to me that people feel like they need to stop others from taking a risk they are more than willing to take. You're going to tell me that they wouldn't risk getting out of there because of covid? Also keeping players on the field keeps some of them more out of trouble. We are taking chances away from these players, which for some of them it's their only way out of the poor situation that they grew up in. Would football shut down if a player was paralyzed or died on the field? No, it wouldn't, because it has happened before, and the game still goes on. Of course I don't want a single player to die over this or have any lasting impact if they got covid, but this is a dangerous sport as it is. I also can't buy the argument about not forgiving ourselves if a player died over this. I am not a person who deals with any type of depression, and even I started to feel pretty down. Trust me, I was there sitting at home for months hoping for work. Not to even mention the impact sitting at home unemployed has on ones mental state. Yes we should have a stimulus, but the less government stimulus we spend on people the better off our country will be financially. The economic impact on the people who depend on these games cannot be stated enough. If a player feels like it's too risky to play, then they do not have to play since the alternative was the season being canceled anyway. Have the players sign an agreement not to sue the school. The one caveat I would agree to is a school wanting to avoid liability, but that can be worked around.
