NFL’s Only Physician Player Opts Out of 2020 Season Over COVID
Quote: |
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, MD, the only medical doctor on a current NFL roster, has become the first player to opt out of the 2020 NFL season, citing concerns over risk for COVID-19.
Canadian-born Duvernay-Tardif, right guard for the Kansas City Chiefs, announced on Twitter Friday what he called "one of the most difficult decisions I have had to make in my life."
"There is no doubt in my mind the Chiefs' medical staff have put together a strong plan to minimize the health risks associated with COVID-19, but some risks will remain," he posted.
"Being at the frontline during this offseason has given me a different perspective on this pandemic and the stress it puts on individuals and our healthcare system. I cannot allow myself to potentially transmit the virus in our communities simply to play the sport that I love. If I am to take risks, I will do it caring for patients." |

Not exactly. The NCAA has canceled all championships but individual schools may still play.

Will many of them do that?
And if the NCAA cancels Div I championships, incl football, how many schools will play? I don't see the SEC schools, for example, cancelling football without someone strong-arming them.
