NFL Players Say Safety Concerns Need To Be Addressed Before There's Football

[tk13]

And here we go. This appears to be a coordinated effort. Russell Wilson, Brees, Mahomes, a whole bunch of star players... all coming out this morning and saying the NFL needs to address safety concerns if we're going to have football. Mahomes has spent the morning retweeting players around the league speaking out about this.

If im the players id want a non biased review of the infectious disease emergency response plan. The NFL and the doctors they hire haven't proven that they look out for the best interest of the players.

[Chief Roundup]

The NFLPA will protect the players.
With the NFL wanting to cut $40 Million from each team this year in salary cap this is just another huge hurdle to overcome and makes it harder to believe that there will be an NFL season.

[Red Dawg]

Meanwhile Americas working force is working to get the country back. Walmart and many large businesses never closed but athletes are worried?

[Red Dawg]

Players are so weak. Sissyfied.

[jjjayb]

And yet, all the people who work at Home Depot, Walmart, Lowes etc. have been working for months. At this point I don't care if any of the sports play this year.

[Bob Dole]

Meanwhile Americas working force is working to get the country back. Walmart and many large businesses never closed but athletes are worried?

My prediction: ZERO active professional athletes will die from COVID-19.

[TwistedChief]

LOL at comparing this to Walmart. Putting aside the fact that sports are a luxury item while Walmart is an essential business, do you guys really think the risks are the same for football players who are breathing heavily, emitting fluids, and basically all over each versus the greeter at Walmart?

So happy to be on the opposite side of anything Red Dawg is associated with.

[RealSNR]

Owners are going to lose money on a regular season. They're still pushing for an NFL season.

So why the fuck do they want to lose MORE money by playing preseason games?

[jdubya]

Thats cool as long as they get the same unemployment check that the rest of those do who had to apply. I agree with them, they are non essential employees and have no need to risk it. But dont expect a free paycheck including endorsements

[Kiimo]

I'm sure even the stupidest of you can appreciate the difference between working at Walmart and practicing football, a game designed to breathe hard directly into each others' faces and then go home to your loved ones afterwards then get ready to travel and do it in places like California, Texas and Florida.

[ptlyon]

That's fine. I would be concerned too. You don't play, you don't get paid.

[TwistedChief]

Owners are going to lose money on a regular season. They're still pushing for an NFL season.

So why the fuck do they want to lose MORE money by playing preseason games?

I have no idea why the preseason is even being considered. We may only get a handful of games off so why risk anything with the preseason? I think we'd all be happier with an extra couple regular season games even if they're a bit sloppier because of the lack of tune up.

What? Thats BS. They can get tested every day. Can everyone get tested all the time. They are going to be super safe. In walmart every item you touch has been touched by who knows and how many people.

[Kiimo]

What? Thats BS. They can get tested every day. Can everyone get tested all the time. They are going to be super safe. In walmart every item you touch has been touched by who knows and how many people.


You really are not up on any of the logistics of how this thing is spread, huh?

And by the way yes I can get tested every day for free and so can everyone else in southern California and yet the numbers are through the roof and it isn't because people touch things at Walmart.

[Chiefspants]

LMAO

Hey, doofuses. If Patrick Mahomes got permanent lung damage from COVID (as is what's been documented to happen even when the young and able-bodied catch this thing) we'd all be changing our tune very quickly. It's perfectly reasonable to ask for added protections during a pandemic in a sport that will inevitably be very high risk for all involved. Hearing folks bring up "Wal-Mart workers" is hilarious, as a year ago, many of those same folks said the same Wal-Mart workers should "find a new job" if they didn't like getting minimum wage. Now these folks are suddenly Wal-Mart workers' biggest advocates? Get outta here with that weak BS.

Protect your lungs, Pat. The NFL is one of the highest revenue generators in entertainment in the world - it's on the owners to make sure the players are as safe as possible.

[PAChiefsGuy]

Im remember hearing the same BS by Governors claiming every thing would be addressed before things started opening back up

[dlphg9]

I don't blame them one bit. Get these old fuck owners at the bottom of a pile and see if they wanna take the risk of getting it.

[Raiderhater]

Would the NFL try to scuttle the season for some reason?

[jdubya]

I don't blame them one bit. Get these old **** owners at the bottom of a pile and see if they wanna take the risk of getting it.

So you agree they are non essential and they should apply for unemployment?
Do you think they should still get paid even if they refuse to take the risk?

[BigCatDaddy]

Millionaires Lives Matter

[Kiimo]

I want football but also I don't really see how they can play without a quarantine for all players. Like, they could have a season if they all didn't go home or anywhere for three weeks of training camp with no games. Basically Fight Island but that is impossible.

[vailpass]

Oh FFS. Closer we get, the more it looks like there isn’t going to be football this year.

[TwistedChief]

So you agree they are non essential and they should apply for unemployment?
Do you think they should still get paid even if they refuse to take the risk?

Why are you shifting the argument toward the players' receiving unemployment benefits? Who is advocating for that?

[RealSNR]

Millionaires Lives Matter

I can think of one particular millionaire whose life matters more than the others.

[jdubya]

Why are you shifting the argument toward the players' receiving unemployment benefits? Who is advocating for that?

Who is arguing? What argument? I am not "shifting" anything. Im asking questions directly related to the players making demands before they play again due to safety concerns. I believe my questions are valid.

[RINGLEADER]

I have no idea why the preseason is even being considered. We may only get a handful of games off so why risk anything with the preseason? I think we'd all be happier with an extra couple regular season games even if they're a bit sloppier because of the lack of tune up.

If I was going to guess the players want zero pre-season games because if there is an outbreak due to playing they want it to happen after week one. If the league shuts down after week one then the players get paid for the season absent some agreement from the players to take less (fat chance and why should they?).

Will be interesting to see if the owners skip week one though I have no clue if the CBA enables them to perform such a maneuver.

[BWillie]

Being safe would mean not playing football. If they want to do that and not get paid then all the power to them.

The solution would be 17 weeks of a bubble and quarantine. But I doubt they want to do that.

[BWillie]

Im not worried about the players outside of a handful. Im worried about old coaches like Andy Reid.

Another poster just said that he didn't blame the players one bit and imagined owners wouldn't put themselves at risk.

You then lob in some nonsense beginning with "so you agree" as if your conclusion has anything to do with the post you were responding to.

Players are entitled to make these demands and not play. And not get paid by their teams. Why do you shift that to a player's receiving unemployment benefits?

[BigRedChief]

Welll DUH! Why would you not figure out safety? Without healthy players, there's no football.

No one is thinking their health is in danger, its not 100% but just playing football is a dangerous proposition. From a strictly competitive standpoint you need to be as safe as possible. Mahomes tests positive, he's down for 3 weeks. Thats a helluva loss for us.

[BigRedChief]

Im not worried about the players outside of a handful. Im worried about old coaches like Andy Reid.He's obese, over 60, high blood pressure and who knows what else.

One of those asymptomatic players gives him a high 5, touches a part of the bench, hand rail, bathroom door handle etc. etc. its going to turn out a lot differently for Andy than Kelce.

[HonestChieffan]

the players union will be the second level of why no NFL2020.

The other is mayors like this clown in KC who will do anything for TV time and to fill his sails with the ultimate power he has....unless the Jackson county legislature and sports authority tell him to go back to managing streetcars and the Giant airport being built as if Covid19 never happened

doom is here for 2020 football

Think the stars and scrubs are at each other a bit after the NFL leveraged the scrubs to pass their weak agreement for a 17 game season and 7 team playoff. It's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out. But the NFL knows people aren't tuning in to see Byron Pringle and Daniel Sorenson as the star power in January. They're seeing Mahomes. I definitely think the NFL will try to leverage the scrubs as you're suggesting here, though.

If something like that happens you could test every player before every game and practice.

But otherwise, I don’t see how this is going to work either.

I’m not talking about the NFL leveraging them, I’m talking about THEM

Sorensen and Pringle are good examples. Bottom end dudes that are getting some age at the end of their contracts. They need to capitalize on the super bowl run because in a year it will be tougher for GMs to take a shot on them. Sorensen especially.

I really think they should have made it a 10 game season. No preseason and a game every 2 weeks. That way with the current testing if a player or bunch of players get it they won't miss a game. They would have the 2 weeks to recover.

Alternate the NFC and AFC weekends with AFC starting since they won the super bowl.

10 games is better than none and at this point it's going to be a cluster fuck and we'll probably lose the whole season.

Was the NFL seriously taking no notes during the disastrous MLB/MLBPA negotiations?

[Chiefshrink]

I just don't see the end game here, or with COVID in general. If it's going to mutate like the flu every year, when is it okay to get things back to normal?

Exactly. If C-19 had lethality effects like the black plague(all ages with no prior health conditions) dropping dead right and left all over the place then okay. But that is not the case here. The youth weather this the best and mostly asymptomatic which is not good for those who are elderly with prior health conditions and those who are not elderly but have prior health conditions such as asthma/diabetes. But then the flu is just as lethal in the same way for these type of folks as well. What's the end game here if this virus is here for good?

I say just warn/sign a waiver to those particular populations that are extremely vulnerable to C-19 who want to still attend a game.

[BigRedChief]

Was the NFL seriously taking no notes during the disastrous MLB/MLBPA negotiations?Has any team in any sport not had a positive test? So it’s a good chance it’s going to happen during the season.

The players are just saying something basic.......what’s the plan? Did we agree to something and we didn’t know it? Did the NFL think they were going to dictate whatever they come up with and not consult the players? That was just going to be fine with them?

[dlphg9]

You're a dumb fuck. Any money guarantees or roster bonus' should most certainly be paid. You're one of those ultra envious losers and youre jealous that they make so much money while you sit in your rascal getting your government benefits.

[eDave]

No, but a 2 week gap between games does....

Pffft. I completely missed that part. Not a bad option. 10 just seems too few to really get going and separate the good from the bad.

If the NFL tries to leverage the public against the players like the MLB did, I think they're going to have a bad time (just like the MLB). These aren't your typical labor negotiations here, not when the players are standing in solidarity with a lot of workers throughout the country.

Sure, you're gonna have the "But they're millionaires!" crowd - but that crowd is a lot quieter than they were in 2011.

I will say this. Id rather get Covid 19 than CTE and its not even close. Granted theres no guarantee you will get CTE for sure jjust like Covid 19...but the length they are going in testing individuals every day or other day I personally would have very little qualms about getting back to it as a player.

Now if I was Andy Reid, Id coach in a bubble boy suit. Id be frightened to death

You're a dumb ****. Any money guarantees or roster bonus' should most certainly be paid. You're one of those ultra envious losers and youre jealous that they make so much money while you sit in your rascal getting your government benefits.

Why the angry projection? This has nothing to do with either of us personally so why all the insults?

anyhoo

If you agree with a kid on your street to pay him $20 to mow your lawn and then the kid changes his mind and says, "I dont think its safe to mow your lawn".....you are going to still pay him? If so, I promise to remodel your home for you and paint the entire outside for only $5,000 and I can start tomorrow if you wish to agree with that.

That's not even remotely the same thing. Players have guaranteed money and then money they make from playing. If they don't play, then no they don't get a game check, but they absolutely get the guaranteed money.

Fixing things is one thing. Any good landlord needs to promptly address those things such as broken appliances, leaky roof, garage door broke etc. But if you move into a home and then expect the landlord to put in new flooring, new appliances, new deck, new paint just because you pay the rent (as you are supposed to) then you are expecting too much.

When you sign a lease you are accepting the current condition of the home. All housing materials have useful lives. I'm not going to replace some flooring that I just put in 5 years ago that has 25 more years life on it just because you don't like it.

I had one that was actually placed outside on my back porch at my last house. I was going all over the house with the multimeter trying to find it before I finally went into the attic and noticed that there was an additional hookup going outside the house. As soon as I replaced the outlet that had gotten wet, I removed it from the GFI outlet so I would never have to deal with it again.

This happened at one of my rentals last year. They plugged in two computers, two TVs, a mini fridge, cell phone chargers, XBOX, roku stuff in one outlet and it tripped it. The GFCI at that house I believe was actually outside and just had to reset it and everything was fine. They expressed that the house may have unsafe wiring due to this occurring. LOL renters.

I even flipped my breakers to attempt to fix it, the thing is one of the garage walls backs up to my living room and the outlet on the living room side works so it's weird.

I'm not an electrician though and someone is gonna have to come look at it because resetting gifi's and flipping breakers is about the cusp of my knowledge, that and I can change a light switch and a outlet.

It's about 1-2% of the fun for me. When I'm at home, I don't care about the fans at all. Different story if I'm at the game but watching the game at home is probably an easier experience than going to the game. Easier to see what is going on. If injuries happen. Guys get pulled. Other nuances.

Cost shouldn't be an issue. They can pool samples. For example put samples from 8 different players in on one test. If the test comes back negative, all 8 players are cleared for the next day. I sure to heck hope that any NFL player has his whole family on lock down for the sake of the team.

Where did this dumbfuck come from?

I went through all of them, my camera picked up that morning that was some serious lightning so it makes me wonder if that could have played in.

[Chief Roundup]

The lack of electrical knowledge in here is astonishing. Garbage disposal should have it own independent circuit. Outside receptacles should have their own circuit. Bathroom should have its own circuit. Kitchen should have an individual circuit for each outlet.

If you have an electrical tester that plugs into an outlet that will tell you if you have power or if you neutral is backwards or if the ground is actually hooked up then you should try plugging that into each of the outlets. You probably had an outlet go bad. It happens. I have also seen it where even though the light works the other wire came loose so nothing beyond the light fixture works.

[Shaid]

I tried to consider a version of this that would limit exposure and less games could help.

So, just have every team only play your division games, every 2 weeks. You can have the AFC play one week, the NFC the next. The top 2 teams from each division in the playoffs. The 1s play the 2s in the first round, then you are down to 4 teams in each conference and proceed as normal.

If you have a certain level of exposure or specific players that are detrimental to your team, you can opt to delay 1 game in the playoffs. There are plenty of scenarios where things can go off the rails but this at least minimizes some of them.

Or, you just say screw it, and go full on normal season and risk having your team get completely exposed and trying to play without your stars for 2-3 week stretches in there somewhere. If it happened in the playoffs, you're screwed.

The keyword in all of those comments is "should". I lived in a house built in 1935. You think it was up to snuff on all of that electrical? ROFL

Yes it should have been brought up to code more than once during its lifetime or it should be considered unlivable.

the players arent saying anything they arent told to. They want their ****ing money. They know they dont have shit to worry about. Youre just being set up to possibly never see professional sports ever again.
the excuse as always is this virus you need to win the lottery to catch

The lack of electrical knowledge in here is astonishing. Garbage disposal should have it own independent circuit. Outside receptacles should have their own circuit. Bathroom should have its own circuit. Kitchen should have an individual circuit for each outlet.I've never encountered a home wired in such a manner.

[Chief Roundup]

I've never encountered a home wired in such a manner.

Really. Man that is code in Arkansas.

Surprised the NFLPA agreed to this...

Players cannot attend indoor night clubs, indoor bars (except to pickup food), indoor house parties (with 15 or more people), indoor concerts, professional sporting events, or indoor church services that allow attendance above 25 percent of capacity.

Players can be fined for violating these rules. Moreover, if they test positive after engaging in prohibited activities, they will not be paid for the games they miss. Also, future guarantees in their contracts would be voided.
