Covid doesn’t care. There’s been a few guys that weren’t the same after they got it. It’s not happened to the best, but it’s affected some athletes.

Which athlete hasn't been the same since they tested positive?

Myles Garrett is probably the biggest one. The Browns were literally isolating him to keep him away from this latest outbreak. But there have been others. It's not most guys but there are definitely some elite athletes who've had issues.

I know Jayson Tatum of the Celtics had the same kinds of issues. His breathing and stamina wasn't the same after COVID, had to use an inhaler for a while, etc. He's supposedly all better now. But we'll see if Omicron actually has those same effects though.

Garrett has asthma. Extenuating circumstances there, but there have been others.

Yeah but you don't know what kind of health issues any of these guys have until something like this happens. I don't believe Jayson Tatum had asthma. Ryquell Armstead ended up hospitalized multiple times.

The whole argument that someone has some kind of "condition" has always been stupid anyway because millions of people have conditions that make them more at-risk for things. Even just in the NFL, look at how many people would qualify as "obese" and be at higher risk for COVID complications.

Aren't all those cases before the vaccine?
