Yeah hopefully those they live with take the necessary precautions as well to avoid any major spread for the players and their teammates

Agree.

If no one in their family has caught it, then they need to keep doing what they're doing (assuming of course they've been taking precautions and it's not just blind luck lol).

Family buying in and continuing to take precautions will be just as and maybe more important than when they were sitting at home.

When they're with the team they'll be following MLB protocols. But MLB can't control what the family does.

Nice!

You found his career highlight reel.

To be fair Bennett's career highlight was draft night when he was the # 1 pick. It was all downhill for him from that point.

I'd expect that they'll have to basically stick together as a group from the hotel to the field and back on the road. Also stay at their hotels and away from the public.

As far as home games, they'll likely have to follow the same protocols as folks who have continued to work during this.

I'd think that someone working in a grocery store for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, has a better chance at catching it than a professional athlete who isn't interacting with the general public.
BOOM.

So the Braves logo is borerline at best AND it's fine? Well which one is it because it can't be both. You said this- braves one is bordline at best / braves are fine.

Braves is fine was in reference to the name. Borderline at best was in reference to the logo.

Oh really? That's like saying the Redskins logo is okay in reference to their name.

I would argue that it is. The Redskins logo isn't ridiculing in any way, but the name is a derogatory term. Now if you want to say that no Indian imagery should be used, that's a different point where all of this may be headed, but will be a tough fight with teams like FSU. If we're going to that point, you have to reconsider the Fighting Irish and Boston Celtics too.

Pretty sure FSU has the okay from the Seminole tribe in Florida. Wanna mention the Indians logo for a second. Glad Chief Wahoo's gone. Should have done that years ago. Had to mention that because I don't want anyone to think I have an issue with the other logos because of what happened with the Indians logo.

I like how you said all indian imagery. I wouldn't have an issue if everything changes. And the Celtics and Fighting Irish are great examples of logos that should go.

Like I've said before since most of their physique are asymptomatic I'd just test in and screen. Test out. That's it. And keep the outfoinf t

Good luck

What are you talking about man? Since Kwame Brown? Brown had an 11 year career. He wasn’t good, but he wasn’t Bennett.

Meme worthy bust Markelle Fultz has already accomplished considerably more than Bennett did in his entire career.

Bennett is easily the worst #1 pick of the last 40 years and probably all time. Larue Martin drafted #1 by the Blazers in 1972 is the only player in the last 50 years where it is really even debatable. And the only reason I am not going further back is because I don’t know all the players drafted prior to 1970.
