    Mitch Marner: "What if someone gets sick and dies, is it worth playing NHL"

    Looks like no NHL this year if this is the thought process from some of the players.

    What do you think of this statement from him today not wanting to play?

    I think he is thinking of liability and being a pussy. The likelihood of a top notch athlete catching the wuflu is high, but to have a death from a virus that is proving to be almost totally survivable by people under 40 is as rare as me getting a freebe at the Asian spa I frequent.

    On the other hand, is it worth forfeiting billions of dollars in revenue and salaries to save that one guy who might catch the chinese virus anyway when he is out and about doing something else other than playing hockey?

    You have to draw the line somewhere.

    I think most people are sick of the whole situation, pro teams included. Personally I wish all of them would either set a date or just cancel the whole seasons and just be done with it, the longer they refuse to commit to playing the greater the chances they don’t play, jmo

    Good thought Jonathon. Make a decision already if you're the NHL, NBA, or MLB and give the fans a break.

    Love how people who watch these sports are mad at guys for not wanting to play. Who cares? It's his life.

    As the WHO pointed out yesterday...”this virus may never go away” so populations will just have to learn to deal with it.....amazing as I said this exact statement a few months ago. As for sports...don’t care anymore

    come back and play....great. Don’t...also fine with me

    But where are all the basketball players going to work? I can't imagine too many fast food places are hiring these days.

    That's why they get paid the big bucks. They are pawns for entertainment. They should not forget that or go flip burgers like everyone else.

    Can die on the ice from a hit too...

    If you don’t test them did they really die because of Covid 19?

    I’ll continue living my life and not pin my hopes on somebody inventing a vaccine that may never come. Nobody is smart enough to come up a vaccine for the cold that I get every year or a cure for cancer. Sooner or later, the majority of people will have caught the virus and they may or
    may not know it. So, how about
    not wasting 2 years or your life living like a pu$$y.
