I wonder who that first team player is. That would determine (in my mind) the severity of this report. If it was an older first team veteran, this could be the death knell for the rest of the season... if it was a younger player (for example - a player that may have had trouble with other players wives in the past), I would say it might be due to irresponsible behavior... either way. Yikes. |

Those around the program who know already knew who is infected. He's quarantined from the rest of the team. But IMO it should not matter who it is. I think we should afford him and his family the privacy and space to recover and rejoining the team. I know there are HIPPA LAWS in place to protect him but it's only a matter of time before someone blabs...

People will just observe who isn't at practice. I've got a good guess but someone will say for sure pretty soon.

No shame in this and let people work through this crazy pandemic the way they need to for themselves and their family. |
