That's true. That's why it puts more responsibility on the coaches, owners, administrative hierarchy and onward up past football. Football has all sorts of rules and regs that players have to follow and take serious and the game requires massive discipline and focus on a consistent basis. The things for Covid mitigation are easy, nothing that even compares to all the other required effort to just be there.
If one was to just take the article that was posted, it was showing that coach Carroll was taking responsibility and was getting the desired results. Along with showing that it can work and can just be included with regular regiment, making strengths not weaknesses. Wining over a little mask wearing or shot in the arm or any of the rules is just a weakness. There no wining in football.
Rules are there to protect the players and in turn protect the game. Being a good football player is being good playing by the rules. It's up to the leaders, whoever that may be, to make that happen, not shirk those responsibilities or fail in them.
There will always be large groups of not very intelligent people who follow, not lead, who need to be instructed or trained. I don't have as much against those misguided, mistaken, uneducated or untrained, but I have a whole lot of distain for the more intelligent, the ones who are followed or lead, for being an accessory to the follies, to knowingly misguide or just allow others to, all for their own conveniences or ideals.
Instead of the rolled eyes and ridiculed looks that the Seahawks got wearing masks (boy I know those looks real well), they should have looked at them and followed their example for its long past time for all the coaches and leadership to stop the wining and step it up and get on with having some good games. Or just get out of the kitchen if they can't.
