You can just sense that myocarditis will be their main play here.

Legit concern or Don Quixote tilting at windmills?

Legit concern
It is a legit thing in rare cases of covid-19 and other viruses


Their own articles these media members are posting talk about how rare it is, and they talk about how it exists with the common cold


However, they dont put that in their tweet title......

Probably a bit of both, honestly.

Most football players are top-tier athletes and are way healthier than most people. Presuming that the amount of damage is normal with other viral infections, they're better off than most of us. The flip side is that if it turns out to be way more severe, then the constant aerobic activity could trigger things that most of us never encounter.

Personally, I'm thinking they'll be okay - but we should realize if just one person dies from it, or is severely hospitalized from it, that'll be it. They won't take the chance, because even if they sign a waiver nothing will stop a massive legal onslaught if a kid dies from it.
