As the Giants’ Nate Solder retires, try to stop worrying about the NFL’s comeback and remember your valuable lesson about what really matters | Opinion – nj.com

Of all the NFL players who opted for this week, it’s hard to imagine anyone in a more troubling situation than Solder’s.

But as difficult as this choice was, Solder is giving the sports world a valuable lesson in what really matters, even as the NFL continues its bubble-free season.

For a moment, then, can we walk away from the discussion about training camp logistics and having no fans in stadiums, and remember the human side of a pandemic that has now killed over 150,000 people in the United States alone? ?

Forget, if you can, that you really want football to come back, so you’ll have something to see on weekends this fall. And recognize that the players who are exposing themselves, especially the mass linemen, like Solder, are at significant risk, involving not only themselves, but their families.

The fact that NFL players, by few, are choosing to exit the 2020 season should come as no surprise. Almost nothing should at the moment. Okay, if Patrick Mahomes, just signed his record deal, decided not to play, or reigning 23-year-old MVP Lamar Jackson, that might come as a surprise. But if you had a pregnant girlfriend or a loved one who lived with them, or if you discovered that you had a medical condition that makes you more vulnerable to COVID-19, then any claim to being lazy should be dropped. Bottom line: Every player has a medical, family and business decision to make when it comes to whether or not it makes sense to participate this season.

Frankly, it is not our business why someone chooses to take a small stipend (to be paid in 2021) instead of submitting to all the unknowns that will come when trying to play professional football daily (practice) and then weekly (games) in 2020 Each man has to perform his own mental calculation, weighing the risks of injury, how confident he is in the effectiveness of the tests, how realistic he believes it is to maintain operations with 150 or more people at a team headquarters, daily, in a time when large gatherings are discouraged.
