I'm trying to be open minded and understanding here. You're right on A....maybe he has compromised family members. Of course we don't know. But hasn't he been on campus? Working out? Are the kids who are opting out saying that they feel they're more likely to contract the virus playing football than just living their everyday lives? Honestly just asking. I guess it's more risky, but unless he's quarantining I don't see how he's not taking risks in contracting it.
And B is my only other thought. These kids with these massive impending paydays are thinking they haven't trained properly?
I just really don't fully understand this. If this was something that happened all the time, I get it. Like if I was Trevor Lawrence, in a normal climate (no Covid), I'd have a long, hard look at playing ball this year. He's the #1 pick if he never takes another snap. So you're certainly risking a lot. But nobody has ever done this before. Now a virus comes along and people are choosing not to play because of the risk? What risk, exactly? Trying to learn here.
