Agree. Understanding the complexities and feelings, but life still has to move forward.
I asked this earlier in the week, but I would imagine the Bills or Bengals opting not to play would pretty much have to result in a forfeit on their parts. There's just really nothing else the NFL can do. There's ways to reschedule a single game if needed, but there aren't ways to do two games. If this happened in week 3, sure, it's a discussion, but it didn't.
If there's individual players who don't feel like they can play, so be it. They can be inactive or not suit up. That's just life.
He's saying if you ask football players whether they want to play this weekend (especially asking Bengals or Bills players), the public thinks its "insensitive" to say you do, because you're supposed to be in mourning basically.
I never had much respect for the general public's "selective morality" they apply on a daily basis, but it was amplified just how pathetic a lot of people are during this process. Spending too much time playing "moral cops" on social media, because the NFL took an hour longer than some schmuck on Twitter arbitrarily thought to decide to postpone the game.
O and the roasting of Skip Bayless, who had the balls to say what millions of people were thinking, but didn't have the balls to say themselves. And then developed the balls 24 hours later, when nothing had changed.
