UCLA Players Demanding A 'Third-Party Health Official' Because They Don't Trust Chip Kelly

UCLA Players Demanding 'Third-Party Health Official' Because They Don't Trust Chip Kelly

UCLA football players do not trust their coach Chip Kelly and want a “third-party health official” to be on hand for all football activities to see that protocols are met. Per Los Angeles Times...

quote:
"After a virtual team meeting Thursday night, 30 UCLA football players united in support behind a document they believe will protect them in their upcoming return to campus amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The document, reviewed by the Los Angeles Times late Thursday, asserts that players do not trust coach Chip Kelly’s program to act in their best interest, particularly in regard to their health, a realm where it says UCLA has “perpetually failed us,” citing “neglected and mismanaged injury cases.” The document does not provide examples.

The players demanded that a “third-party health official” be on hand for all football activities to see that protocols for COVID-19 prevention are being followed; that anonymous whistleblower protections are provided for athletes and staff to report violations; and that each player can make a decision about whether to come back to Westwood without fear of losing his scholarship or other retaliation."

How many under 25 in California died from COVID? How many from flu and pneumonia? This is bizarre. These kids are too stupid to be in college.

TaderSalad•46 months

Bet these players never sniff the nfl

They can't afford to Hire anyone else. Football brings in $132 million, which is not enough to finance all of the other sports. They have a deficit of aboot $20 million in their athletic dept. Football is taking all of the blame for not bringing in more.

Chip still having Aubrey Huff in as special guest? Is the Aunt Jemima sponsored team breakfast still on?

I love how that third party shite is thrown around. I get accused of working for some company people are mad at? “I’m a third-party contractor!”

I can see these snowflakes walking off the field in 3rd and10 because getting a first down is just too hard.

TampaTiger22•46 months

Hahaha, I can see you have never played a sport. Must be hard to go through life with such envy. Sucks for you to pay money to watch them play.

TampaTiger22•46 months

Lol somelsudouche, that's cute. I am not attempting to act like I know anything. But good try. I hope you get all the upvotes you crave. I know how much it means to you tough guy wanna be's on here. Craving the acceptance from others. I will give you your first upvote.

Remember when athletes were tough? They'd play with broken bones and high fevers. These candyass players will sit out because they have the sniffles or their feelings get hurt.

TampaTiger22•46 months

Remember when some douche bag online acts tough ? They hide behind their computer and pretend to know everything. Ahhh, those were the days

CanebreakCajun•46 months

@at Tampa that is epic coming from the biggest shite stirrer here. Epic! Lol

TampaTiger22•46 months

Did Chip not think continuing to work at a progressive school wouldn’t haunt him? He gone

CanebreakCajun•46 months

By tomorrow equity will demand that he is fired, his assets seized and Chip sent to AOC’s white privilege re-education camp.

FlyinTiger93•46 months

Players are soft, but they are probably right. Chip Kelly cares about no one but himself, and re-establishing his brand to what it once was.

Woodman•46 months

This probably has nothing to do with COVID and a lot more with buyer's remorse to find out that 30 year old "Classic" they Mecum Auction purchased over a new car has a lot more maintenance issues.

Chip needs to leave the west coast and come to the SEC. Slide him in at South Carolina after Will is sacked this season and let's watch the conference get even crazier.

AustinKnight•46 months

He won’t out recruit anyone coaching for SC especially having Clemson there

IslandBuckeye•46 months

I heard Dr Fauci is available.
