Joe Ingles might retire from NBA to protect family from cornavirus

[Fortunate Lee]

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

The German soccer league literally just returned last week

Spanish soccer league (one of the worst countries hit by corona) is coming back in June


If they can plan it, a billion dollar organization like the NBA also can

UFC and NASCAR are officially back as well.

The only big difference is the amount of games. NBA teams play way more games than those soccer teams; so there is def more risk

playing 3 times a week vs 1 game every week

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

Don't got to a practice facility but threaten to got to an airport and fly half way around the world brehs

Again , most people are really selective and really convenient and really forgo critical thinking when it comes to being “responsible” amid all of this ... considering airplanes have been documented as a hotbed incubator of the virus ...




But I really do salute him if he’s genuinely doing it for health. But if it’s a larger play to try to get traded as a few have suggested , then I don’t respect it.

My thing is, are you going to shut everything down again and again if this is indeed a seasonal thing? Viruses don't disappear.

Gobert is a fukking idiot

 

[BaggerofTea]

Agreed
This will be reality for at least a couple years. Best hope is finding a vaccine in the next 4-5 years

Mitchell gave it to him

 

[mbewane]

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

You didn't mention anything about race in your first post

Plenty Americans would love his job. Bye.

Never mind me though

What's the point of "fukk you money" if you never have the balls to say fukk you?
He's rich and in a place in life to prioritize other things over another check

on the flip they could just say fukk it and finish the games needed in a week and a half

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.

Attention whore?

Man plays basketball for a living and is a millionaire several times over. Saying his profession isn't worth the risk to his family isn't attention whoring, it's valuing his family's life over everything else when you already have the means to take care of them.

The fukk is wrong with you?
