Joe Ingles might retire from NBA to protect family from cornavirus

[ALonelyDad]

who’s the other one?

Bojan Bogdanovic, he has hand injury and has to get surgery

 

[Wargames]

His kid has a compromised immune system...I can’t knock a man for putting the life of his child over playing pro basketball

Silver might be smart PR wise and let him just sit out after what happened to KAT’s family.

That’s if you believe a vaccine will be delivered in the next few years.

Even if he misses next season just let the jazz do a injured player exception and then they can see if he is available in 2022.

Health over wealth

Any man respects the decision wholeheartedly, especially when the NBA doesn't even try to have a concrete plan to keep players safe. "We're not keeping players isolated, we'll just wait for players to test positive before we force isolation." Although people carry it without knowing, which is why you locked down in the first place, so what good is your plan at that point? Nothing but respect to Ingles for taking all the steps he can to protect his family since his employer won't, might be hard to believe for some but there are things bigger than sports.

But I see responses like

"Bye nikka I need muh sportz"
"He's only doing this because he wants out on his team"

Safe to say throughout the ample downtime we've all had, there's been plenty of time to sit back and observe people and make theories. You find out about the nature of men in times of uncertainty type shyt etc. Two things I've learned is to the scale of just how much greed runs the world, the other is most sports fans are massive degenerates. The adrenaline rush from it and them using sports as a crutch are the only few things keeping them going. I've heard that before but it's different when that lightbulb goes off in you and it makes sense.

He is already on the road all the time. No reason he can't play and keep distance from his family a few months till this dies down. He is being an attention whore. There are single mothers working as nurses and there are doctors coming home to their families every day working in corona filled hospitals.

Oh I know

Yeah, if I were Caucasian like you, I'd ride for him.

 

[MJ Truth]

Smart move.

A second wave of this virus will probably be back in the fall when temperatures cool down. And it could be more deadly.

I can understand him not wanting to expose his family to that risk.

Really not sure how ANYONE can criticize people who are choosing to be ultra cautious about this shyt when there's literally hundreds of thousands dying from it.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

This is my it is just stupid for the NBA to come back this season. It's irresponsible. I know we all love sports but this is bigger than the game. This mentality is why the US has been a laughingstock during this Coronavirus

 

[Ben.]

I respect the decision obviously but the Jazz going down bad when the season continues.

 

[Mr swag]

It’s clearly cause of Gobert

im sure it scared the shyt out of them

Bundesliga is back. The KBO is back. NASCAR is back. UFC is back. They are playing without fans. The NBA can do the same.

With all the knowledge still coming through about this virus, I don't get the criticism either.

Some people who work in high risk fields have sent their kids away to not expose them to the virus.

There are other people earning much less than him who have quit their jobs to protect their families. They think someone who has earned millions would think twice and not just live like a regular person for the rest of his life to protect his family?
