They're professionals, and if they agree to do their job, and the league (again, so particularly the NBA) takes every measure they can to treat the situation with as much care as possible, I empathize fully with them. As somebody who works in restaurants, I'm terrified every day I work but I also love the nights when we have a great service, socially distance perfectly, every guest has a great time and the after hours camaraderie with the staff. I totally understand professional athletes wanting to perform for their fans.


But the college shit?


"Let’s spell this out again: During a pandemic, thousands of unpaid athletes, who predominantly are Black, are being asked to risk their health to make money for their coaches and administrators, who overwhelmingly are white. Say it again and again and again. It sounds just as bad every time."
