re: Looks like we had some guys sit out today for practice: Toney, Grimes, Copeland and Carter

People tend to forget these are human beings and have reasons for things they do. End of the day they all came back. Opting out like Chase did is a purely selfish thing for obvious reasons. Toney was the only potentially selfish opt out of our four that I saw. Others had very good reasons. frick yall for insulting them.

BLM, "pay the players" or anything other than: "I need to take care of my mom and since she's immunocompromised and old I can't if I get COVID" is bullshite.

Full-ride scholarships include at least a cool million dollars at Florida. It includes room & board, dental, medical, access to one of the top training facilities in America, access to a very expensive coaching staff (imagine trying to hire Dan Mullen to teach you how to play QB) and we're not even talking about the hundred dollar handshakes that probably happen all the motherfricking time.

These kids got it made in the shade, all they have to do is fulfill their promise to play ball. That's it.

If they want to get paid, frick 'em, they're just fricking themselves over. All a university is going to do is charge them their scholarship and say: There's your payment (it's zero :PPP).

If they're upset about BLM it's idiotic to sit out since they only damage their own future.

If it's because they're afraid of COVID, the numbers aren't there to sit out. If you have bad lungs you shouldn't be playing football.

Of course, they could have just been suspended from practice and all of this is moot, but this ain't the ship to sail when you're privileged enough to play at a very high caliber university and get a goddamn education in exchange for playing a sport that could get you into the NFL.
