I agree that the players and coaches are not being asked about much of anything but virus related stuff.
My concern is that these players are human beings and they cannot help but be affected by what goes on around them. And what is going on around them is pretty much concern for the virus and little else. Not jobs. Not keeping businesses alive, educating our kids, etc. I'm not saying the virus isn't a big deal. I'm saying that whether it is as big a deal of some insist, or whether it is not so big in reality, that winning football games may, for many if not most players, be of a secondary concern. And if that is the case, then I doubt they can completely compartmentalize the "virus first" mindset from how they play, and what meaning winning games has at the present time.
But, for contract and financial purposes, many are probably willing to take the risk and go through the motions. Winning is not necessarily that important.
I see what you are saying Rock and agree to a point. IMO, most players will be able to put the virus out of their minds and play well but the fact that some "can't" or "won't" be able to due that will make this season different than any other.
I respect the ones who "opt out" and I respect the ones who will play. This is a very real and scary virus that doesn't only affect the players, it also affects their loved ones. Not all players are low risk either just because they are NFL players. Diabetes, Asthma, High BMI, etc. IMO, a vaccine is the only way we get back to "semi normal" anything.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
