They 110% are in a different working category (and tax bracket) than you or I. Apples and oranges dude.  Your post really is trying to sneak around being Racist.

Dude, there is one huge racist on this board and I think you know who it is.  No, a job is a job, period.  If the NFL wants to supplement hazard pay..fine, but they can't  just not work and get their pay checks.  Nobody else can do that. 

“They” can do whatever they want and it doesn’t effect you in any way whatsoever. If they don’t work and get paid why u crying about it? Maybe you should have worked harder and pulled yourself up by your bootstraps more to put yourself in a better situation. I bet you are also the type of person crying about Cam having 7 kids and not married. #StayInYoLane

There is no guarantee you will get the Virus being exposed to it. It is around 10% of a population that does. There is literally Millions of people working in, around, and directly with Covid, that make 100x less than even the lowest coach, player, staff, ref, etc. There is precautions to play and still have a season. If they cancel the season, you do NOT get paid, just like other people that lost jobs or were furloughed. I get NFL players are concerned about health etc, yet complain they may not get paid if the season is canceled. You cannot have it both ways. 

Don’t use common sense on the fools in this forum, it confuses them.

"They" aren't monolithic.  You expose yourself again and again.  I am doing just fine, thank you, despite not being a millionaire athlete.  #Iliveinyourhead

You really like to project things don't you? When you have to make up bullshit scenarios to justify yourself, that doesn't make you right. Your saying that the NFL is all POC, (which its not), so ya the word "Racist" has no clout in this situation.   I could give a damn about them being in a different tax bracket, you do not work, you do not get paid. Just like the rest of America.

Is it ? I know 3 different people with families that were tested as positive after having cold like symptoms and no one in their family were positive at any point up to 5 weeks after the  “infected” person was cleared.  

So because you personally don’t know people  that have been seriously impacted by a certain virus/disease yet....it isn’t a big deal?  You apply that logic with everything else too? 

Have a family friend whose funeral is coming up. His friends won’t be there.  And his family wasn’t with him in the hospital when he passed. He died alone. 

I personally have had family pass with COVID too.   They died alone too. 

And yeah, I know plenty of people that were asymptomatic too. Several.   Some of them  probably could of run a half marathon with it. Not a single symptom. All that means is it didn’t cherry pick them to fug up.

well, I mean, I know several people that have gotten COVID....and I wouldn't describe them as living high risk lifestyles.  They basically went to office jobs (with COVID safety measures in place), home and the grocery store.   Only real interaction was small family bubbles. The occasional take out joint.  I know one person that was nearly 100% quarantined and got it from a healthcare professional. 

COVID is crazy contagious.  We can't forget that. 

but yeah, no doubt a lot of people are getting it because of risky behavior.  I'm sure that does apply to a lot of them.  Almost everyone I know under 40 that got it was living a pretty "normal" personal life. 

COVID is crazy contagious, but thankfully, has around a 99.8%+ survival rate.  Luckily this isn’t a very deadly virus.

And we all know people that died from the seasonal flu, pneumonia and on and on.  I’m not saying there isn’t a virus, just that it isn’t as contagious as we are being lead to believe.

Also, pretty much every other cause of death in the US is on the rapid decline.  Hell, Florida is starting to count motorcycle accidents as COVID deaths.  The HHS guy down there said “well we don’t KNOW that COVID didn’t cause the crash...”

Lol. Isn't as contagious?? Yeah, that's garbage. I personally saw how quickly it spread and everything indicates that is why the medical community is so concerned. Not necessarily that the overall death rate or hospitalization rate is extraordinarily high, but the rate of transmission is high. In it's current form, it spreads extremely rapidly. Hence why you see these large blooms at meat processing factories, large gatherings, etc. I am working at a place that had a bloom like that. Went from less than 10 positive cases to 251 positive cases(over 500 more quarantined) in about a week.

Yeah, I mentioned this in another thread.  So one can be assumed to have COVID-19 at death, simply because it didn't get disproved even in traffic deaths.  Guy dies in motorcycle wreck and marked as a COVID-19 death because of lacking evidence he didn't have it.  The burden of proof as to the cause of death is now a mockery as it relates to COVID-19.  

A hypothetical scenario of how crazy this is getting:

Doctor/official: This person potentially died of COVID-19.  

Family/friend: Can prove that as the cause of death?

Doctor/official: Can you prove otherwise?

 

This crap is getting ridiculous....

This is incorrect,  a Complete lie, and you have no facts to back this up. Some sheeple will believe anything that their Right wings overlords will tell them

Motorcycle Accident "Caused" by COVID-19

But I'm sure this is the only case of an oops in counting COVID-19 deaths...or case counts for that matter.  You know, a simple administrative error.
