Von Miller

[caponine 6,586]

**** hope he’s alright. Breathing got so bad he actually had a thought he would die.  He says his lungs still arent even close to being back to normal.

Could this potentially affect the NFL and cause them to postpone the season for a bit ?? Idk how the backlash would be if players started contracting covid unknowingly and they played. 

[Knight of God 53,955]

Shut down the NFL for a season. Seriously. I’m down. 

[red falcon 4,968]

That's not good at all.

[ramonezy 956]

Safety first... Honestly wouldn't complain... I guess I could learn how to knit in my spare time 

[caponine 6,586]

Facts !! Ive read in articles where people have died because of the extra strain on your lungs from covid. Even normal running you cannot do. 

I really dont want too see players collapsing on the field 

[FalconJim 1,832]

I guess I missed something --- did Von Miller have COVID-19???  If so, I hope he'll be alright! 

But man, they just gotta play some football at some point --- with this shelter-in-place crap, plus no baseball, no basketball, I'm 'bout to go NUTS!!!  I think they could do it in a safe way, even if it's with no spectators.  Heck, fumigate the locker rooms before and after games, social distancing, masks when you're not on the field --- whatever it takes to get this thing going!  Like the old saying goes, "Where There's A Will, There's A Way"!!!!!!!!!!

And what about players that have underlying issues like Breathing problems or Asthma or sickle cell ?? Some people have heart conditions as well

Yes, a big consideration, for sure....I understand that --- you can't put somebody's life at risk, for a game.  But apparently those players have controlled those health issues well enough, that they've made it all the way to the "Big Show".  Unless they're sick with the virus, keep doing what they've been doing, and if they need to take a break, or get oxygen, do it!  And even give a player the choice to tell a coach, "I'm done", if he can't finish a game --- 
Like I said, where there's a will, there's a way!

While i half agree, Im sorry to break it to you but if you have underlying issues , its already a dire situation no matter if youre young or old. And the extra strain on the heart is the final blow

Well, thanks for the "half agreement".  But the truth is, if it's your time, it's just your time, whether you're on a football field, or sitting in your recliner.  But if it were me, I'd like for them to say, "well, he died doing what he loved to do"....and to me, I think that'd be a pretty cool way to go ---

Miller was the 2nd NFL player to be officially announced to have Covid19.

 

I think it was about a month and a half a ago.

i dont agree with this logic at all , you think Von Miller is ready ?? ofc not. Did you not see the part where he said it was frightening ? 

what about players with lives outside of football ?? Their children, their lives, their families ?? What scares me is their are people that have the same mindset as you and look at these athletes as objects 

I still think they need to postpone the season 

[Beast-N-Da-Sheetz 4,074]

I hope we get football and all other sports back soon but this virus is serious. It's not worth it just for our entertainment. Safety first. Hopefully they can find an immediate cure or at least a safe way to carry out the season.

O. K., thanks, man!  I hate to hear that, but this junk is no respecter-of-person....just trying to stay in and be safe, myself, since I'm in a high-risk category because I'm over 60, and have diabetes ---

Did they ever say how he think he contacted it? 

[Mister pudding 3,440]

If they did have a season, they would need tested on a daily basis. The NFL could actually pull that off while Joe Schmoos like us can't. I believe they started baseball in Korea, so with the right precautions it's possible. I don't want anyone risking their lives for entertainment purposes though if they can't keep them safe

And Von Miller is an athlete. There are plenty of NFL players, staff members, coaches, transportation coordinators, media crew, etc., etc., who with underlying conditions or not will be exposed to the pandemic, taking it back to their families.

Putting them all at risk for entertainment would be a disgusting.

Itll be hard to get all those tests in real time though everyday

Exactly football will come back but please keep everyone safe. Athletes are people to, thats my main concern that there are a lot of players, coaches etc with underlying issues. 

It shouldnt be different for one set of people and not the other

The difference is that South Korea actually handled Covid like champs. They have only had less than 300 deaths TOTAL so far and they're in proximity with China.

We in the states haven't seen less than 300 deaths PER DAY since March.

Like not wearing masks in the White House? I think the Falcons deserve better
