That's really horrible.

Also, this doesn't change the fact that Eric Berry was unreasonable in his contract negotiations before he got his big deal.

Most team doctors should be stripped of their medical licenses.

That sounds like a potential lawsuit, right?

It's stuff like this that makes it really hard to fault a player for getting his. Their careers are often times very short, and the teams are the first one to take the attitude that "this is a business".

With that said, when a player gets paid, then basically turns into a pussy, that's on them.

It was more unreasonable for Dorsey to request Berry than for Berry to decline IMO.

Holy mother of fucking ads

CP was once all about wishing aids on people. Now we've moved onto hoping their page is littered with ads instead.

Team doctors should not replace a players primary care physician. Just my opinion.

They're always welcome to get a second opinion.

Well, yeah.

6 years that lesion was present, Knowing what you don't know is critical. Of course he is welcome to a second opinion, but an Ortho doc should know better than to diagnose skin, and a sports med doc could be a long time removed from family medicine residency. I can understand his frustration

Why should Berry pay for his own insurance and make the chiefs the beneficiary on it?

Kelechi Osemele got a second opinion and his doctor told him he needed to get surgery, so he did.

Then the Jets fined the shit out of him. Like $500,000.

They fined him the max of 579,000

Basically what it came down to is he's on a 1 year deal and if he has that surgery he's done for the year, they don't give a rats ass about his future they care about right now.

He's now suing them for the rest of his money because what they did is extremely shady.

So anyone who dared to say maybe don't always put blind faith in trainers to make decisions best for Mahomes got chewed the fuck out. Not that kc staff is shady like this. But again, this isn't necessarily about trainers or doctors. This is about coaches and front offices who care about winning often making decisions not in the best interest of a player. It is how they interpret decisions from their medical help or how they can spin a medical decision into something that gets the player on the field.
