Eagles wide receiver Marquise Goodwin announced yesterday that he decided not to play this season due to concerns about COVID-19. Today Goodwin said fan reactions have not been supportive.
Goodwin noted that the United States has lost 150,000 people to COVID-19, and said that its response to the pandemic is to take it seriously, even if many others are not.
“I received so many messages. . . of “concerned” fans telling me how stupid I am and that this COVID-19 is not that serious, “Goodwin wrote on Twitter.” I bet on my bank account that there are 150k dead people who would argue differently. “
After deciding not to participate in the 2020 season, Goodwin posted an emotional message on YouTube explaining his reasoning for not participating in the season. Goodwin noted that he and his wife have lost three pregnancies and that he has taken soccer so seriously that he once left his wife in the hospital after she gave birth to her son prematurely so he could play a game.
Goodwin and his wife now have a young son and he was concerned that he could catch COVID-19 in the field and pass it on to his family. No one can accuse Goodwin of not making sacrifices for his team, but he felt that playing this season is simply too big of a risk. There is nothing stupid about that.
