That’s a bracket buster.

Idiot how? He didn't knowingly pass HIV.

Mocking the situation, the video of him touching microphones for a laugh. Looking at Woj’s tweet about his behavior in the locker room and even Donovan Mitchell throwing shade at him.

 

[RobertWeathers]

For making light of the situation and touching the reporters' mics jokingly, while having COVID-19 unknowingly. You can still apologize for doing an irresponsible thing, even if he didn't realize at the time that what he did was risky.

Yeah, he didn't pass HIV, but he isn't the person who's going to be affected by this. It's the elderly and immunocompromised who are going to be hardest hit, and sooner than later that demographic will include someone we know, respectively.

Can't blame a peak athlete in the prime of his life for being goofy and lighthearted about a virus that will likely have very little impact on his overall health, but I think it shows strength and character to acknowledge his mistake, even if he didn't realize he was making a mistake at the time.

I didn't know about the mic touching. Yea thats not cool.

Yea I didn't see the presser

Man just go away. Your attention seeking trolling is not amusing, rather pathetic. Unless you're aspiring to be the forum idiot that is.

And fair warning, that is a STEEP competition.

 

[Boston Boxer]

This is getting insane.

i know...they refuse to use the appropriate forum and just throw an OT in front of everything in the main football forum. I agree, its insane

and YES, i would like another thread on Tom Brady's FA decision

NCAAs now cancelled.

 

[QuantumMechanic]

Big wave of public school closings here in MA today. Arlington, Bedford, Belmont, Burlington, Everett, Lexington, Wellesley, and Winchester all closing starting tomorrow.

The state of Ohio has ordered all public schools closed.

NCAAs now cancelled.

Here in Canada, stuff is starting to get shut down.

Our most populous province - Ontario - is closing schools two weeks after Spring Break (last day of school tomorrow).

Never thought I’d say this, but I think other provinces are likely to follow suit... there isn’t even one (documented) case here in NS, but if North America shuts down, it’d be pretty bad PR/irresponsible to stay open (and then have these cases everywhere thereafter).

My feeling, based on nothing other than synthesizing what we’ve all been watching and reading, is that the effect on the vast majority of people won’t be particularly severe. I think in many cases people are worrying more than they have to. Having said that...

I work in NYC by Grand Central, part of a large global company, and if I were in charge I would close everything down ASAP. You guys know the thing about lilly pads on a pond? If there’s one in the middle and it doubles every day, and it takes 48 days to fully cover the pond...in how many days would the pond be half covered?

47. Things move fast. Stay home if you can.

Me, I’m on the train right now. I’m sure all will be well. But this is a concern for sure.

......AND we’re now working from home until further notice.

How much lost revenue with NCAAs? And everything else. Man, economy’s gonna tank

None in Maine either. Move north.

Whew. Thought it might be a billion.

 

[ViperGTS]

He does not need to apologize or feel embarrassed. Careless? Endangered? He got the flu. He didn't give his girl the clap. My god. This is out of hand.

I disagree. I feel those who have dismissed this are very, very dangerous. He should be suspended at the very least. We have no idea what the scale of this may be. Nobody does. It could go away in most people and the relapse at a later date.

What he did was borderline criminal.
