What disease did they have that caused COVID-19 to unfortunately excellerate their deaths?

It's one thing to know a players/coaches/famous person medical stuff (not that we always deserve to know)... but a non-pubic private citizen medical stuff? I just don't understand why dive into that.

When Devin opted out, and others opted out, I'm not sure anyone had an issue with it. I had read about Devin having a newborn (or just young child) and immediately empathized with him. Devin posting about losing family to the virus kind of added to the empathy -- from me anyway. When athletes opted out, I tried putting myself in their shoes. What would I do? I'm fortunate that my family isn't high-risk, at least that I'm aware of. My youngest child in the household is 7 years old. So, assuming you're targeting me with your "look at me being holier than thou" response since you quoted me, I asked my question because I am someone who is interested in understanding more.

BTW, for anyone else who is medically clueless like me, after I posted my inquiry, I had looked it up and apparently a virus and disease are one in the same. I thought they were different. For some reason I thought a virus was something that came and went whereas a disease was permanent and never went away but you were able to minimize the symptoms of the disease. I'm a software developer, not a doctor, haha.

Well, unless said player shares more, or some writer writes a story on it, I don't think we have any more information than what was already stated.

It wasn't just you... though, I thought I remembered you have told others a number of times, that whom a player is dating is none of our business.

Just surprised me when I saw you asking for non-famous people medical history, which is generally considered much more private than whom a famous person is dating (especially when it's another famous person).

When Funchess opted out last year I figured we'd never see him in uniform but it seems like he's excited about playing Green Bay. He was a good receiver in Carolina and if he can shake off the rust he could be a boost to the offense.

Yep, that is a drum I beat hard and will continue to. I have no interest in anyone's medical history unless they freely supply it. The part I quoted led me to believe the disease was known and I was inquiring to learn, not to pry. I didn't ask who had what disease, I simply asked what disease. That's a strong distinction there.

I wondered the same thing. I'm excited to see what he does with someone like Aaron Rodgers. He'll probably be WR3 or WR4 and work his way up. Or he'll flop and some rookie will take his snaps, lol.

Why is asking a question such a horrible thing?
It’s not like I, or anyone else here DEMANDED that Devin give us more details.
It was merely curiosity to ask if he lost more family members.
Just wondered, as I would with any Packer player, how this horrible virus affected him. It’s easier to feel empathy and sympathy for a person if you know what they have had to endure.

I do get very bothered when fans/reporters get bent out of shape over not knowing what player has what injury and the severity. It's solely because of gambling and now fans/reporters feel entitled to know personal health/medical information of players. Gambling is going to ruin the sport. Which sucks because sports betting can be fun, but just like the NFL got too big financially, so will sports betting. Sooner or later the rewards for cheating the game will be too financially rewarding to ignore. The NBA witnessed that with referee Tim Donaghy. Think of it like this. Would you rob a gas station for $500 knowing you could serve let's say 2 years in prison? Hell on, the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Now if you can rob a gas station and collect $5 million with the same prison sentence? Hey, if you're looking for easy money and think you can get away with it -- you're going to try.

After watching these highlights, I'm getting optimistic about this kid. I really like how he goes and grabs the ball with his hands. He's not a speedster or someone is going to get a ton of yards after catch. I do see someone who is going to move the chains and go up and get those jump balls in the enzone.

P.S. Ignore the poor music selection.
