Gotta love Kendrick. He makes Sir Charles look like a diplomat.

He has a point. Heck, considering all of the precautions that are being taken, these guys are probably going to be safer in the bubble than at home.

They are safe wherever...because they are young healthy athletes. Everyone keeps forgetting this.

Oh, I get that. I'm just talking about as far as testing positive for it.

I know you do, but I'm just baffled why everyone is so worried about these guys getting the virus. For this particular group it doesn't really matter. So they get it. They stay in the bubble and no one else does.

I'm not saying don't try to contain it, but I just don't really see the big deal when these guys test positive. I still can't recall a single player saying "oh yeah I got it, that sucked", it's always them not even knowing they had it

Guess you haven't read about Von Miller or Freddie Freeman?

I heard the other day on the radio that there was 1 professional athlete, I can't remember who (maybe an MLB player) who said it knocked him flat for a couple of days. But that's the only one.

Probably Freeman from the Braves. Von Miller had it bad also

Stephen Jackson is a racist asshole

Yeah. That is really bad.

I believe DeSean Jackson quoting that tweet was more about ignorance than anything else. I don’t think he understood the ramifications.

Stephen Jackson understand and he is doubling down anyway. He just basically undid all the positive from his involvement in the George Floyd saga.

Please stop saying this. Nobody is forgetting that highly fit people usually don’t get symptoms.

Yet, it is still completely valid for a player to opt out over health concerns.

Maybe, maybe not.

The TBT bubble actually sounds safer to me than the NBA bubble. Time will tell.

Love Mahomes, but right now, if I have to win a game, I still want Russ.

As long as Mahomes stays healthy, I don't expect to still be saying that after about another season or 2.

Based on what?

Russ has been really good. But Mahomes has 4 playoff wins and Super Bowl in 2 years. Russ has 9 playoff wins and 1 Super Bowl in 8 years. And, their offense has been centered around the run game when they have been most successful.

I'm disappointed in some of the black community on this. If they stand up for other groups getting messed with, it only helps their own message.

You keep repeating yourself. We all know that short term it isn’t a big deal to players.

There are other people in that bubble too. And there may be long term consequences surrounding the virus that we don’t know about.

We both keep repeating ourselves :nod:
