These players could just as easily get it from friends, family members, or anyone they come in contact with in life.
Is there evidence that COVID increases risk of myocarditis versus other common pathways?
Or is their argument simply that the possibility exists (at a similar rarity)?

The condition is usually caused by a viral infection, including those that cause the common cold, H1N1 influenza or mononucleosis. Left undiagnosed and untreated, it can cause heart damage and sudden cardiac arrest, which can be fatal. It is a rare condition, but the COVID-19 virus has been linked with myocarditis with a higher frequency than other viruses, based on limited studies and anecdotal evidence since the start of the pandemic.
This is from the ESPN story on Myocarditis.
