but they don't work at a grocery store! they are super rich athletes who don't need to work to support themselves. obviously some people HAVE to put themselves at risk. others don't! do you think many rich people put themselves in harms way if they don't have to?
If they die, they can come streaking with us too. So they've got that going for them.
Joking aside, ballplayers would probably be given leeway to sit out if they lawyered up and fought not to play because of concerns of sickness/dying. However, I'm fairly certain the vast majority of players (especially the ones that are paid at the lower end of the scale) will happily show up and grab a chance at the opportunity to play (and get paid). I anticipate very few players sitting out in this fashion.
It could be argued as willful ignorance to play. No argument there.
If baseball is being played...I'll be watching. That's all I can really say for sure.
