Oso planning to go pro
Snell’s comments are even more understandable with the safety outline the MLB has. Take a paycut to essentially stay in your house or at the ballpark for 4 straight months to play a modified version of your sport? Thanks but no thanks. If I was a player and you pay me what I signed to I’ll hold up my end of the bargain but there’s no chance I’m taking a paycut for the garbage laid out by the MLB.
The MLB? lol. If a player is truly concerned about “the covid” they should forfeit their pay for season and just not play. I was told by my friend who know a groundkeeper in management that is an option.
I'm on the players' side regarding how they should get paid. Don't pay them for the games that aren't played, of course, but they should get every dime they're owed for the games that are played. But public statements how "I gots to get paid" and "I'm putting my life at risk" are idiotic and drain away what public support you have as players.Doctors, nurses, grocery store workers, meat plant workers, construction workers, etc., are putting their lives at risk. A 27-year-old athlete playing baseball in a highly controlled environment surrounded by top-level medical care is not putting his life at risk.
Snell has a 5 year 50 million dollar contract. Meanwhile I have employees making 13 dollars an hour in direct service of covid patients. He's a bit out of touch
Ya think?I generally support the players, don’t think they’re overpaid, hate it when the owners cry poor, etc. - but I have zero empathy/sympathy for Snell’s “problems” given the state of our world today.
Read his comments, which a number of stars have come out and supported. He never claimed to have any “problems.”
I'm very glad that someone as down on their luck as Snell is has someone like you to support him in his fight against those evil billionaires! God, how can a man live without a 2nd vacation home?
More wisdom sprewin' from the mouths of pampered, spoiled, and entitled athletes. I get it. They have extraordinary athletic ability, BFD. In today's world of pain and sufferin', no one wants to listen to an athlete spout off on the fact he has to pay taxes on income, get full pay for half a schedule of work, and is putting his life on the line when going back to work. Oh, and btw, David Snell is a certifiable idiot, aina?
What athlete has demanded full pay for half a season?
Blake Snell aka moron, hey?

Half price werk on da toofers till the plague passes, doc? Yes, Snell comes off as tonedeaf. But at the end of the day he's saying this - https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/29201581/lee-westwood-cites-quarantine-issues-travel-us-pga-tour-events.
“At the end of the day?” LOL.I’ve read what Snell said about “the ‘rona” and “gettin’ his”.Westwood’s remarks were well reasoned, mature and thoughtful. Snell’s were self centered and childish. Not the same at the end of any day.

They had the same essential meaning. How is this statement not self-centered?"Right now, I won't be playing them," Westwood said in the interview. "Not with having to leave here two weeks before, quarantine, then play the two tournaments, then come back here and quarantine again. It's six weeks for two tournaments, and to me, that's just not worth it."And it's not worth taking the risk if everybody thinks that those kind of precautions have got to be in place. I don't feel like golf's a priority if it's that severe.''And IMO I am OK with both of them being self-centered if they want to be. But just because someone uses language in a different manner doesn't mean they are meaning something different.
Is being 27 an excuse for being inarticulate? Seems pretty old for that.
