Just seem like a strange point of emphasis to me. I would have thought the headline would have been the Dodgers winning the World Series and his story being more of a sideline. But that's what I saw when I woke up this morning (maybe they changed up from an original headline last night...don't know).
True.
And for their age range, the flu and covid are pretty equal in terms of mortality rate.
The only argument the leftist pussies can make is that now all of those players will need to avoid the elderly and vulnerable. Which they should, they can quarantine for a week or so and get tested and keep everyone safe.
But leftists are pussies and pussies are going to flap their lips, it happens.
That's certainly a valid counter point.
It just seems to me that things like this continue to play into a narrative that the Coronavirus is lethal and characterized as this death sentence. Clearly it is far from that. I think the point of emphasis should be the Dodgers won the World Series. This could certainly be a sideline.
c'mon Knight...I know you weren't born yet but believe me EVERYONE, including MJ, said it was the flu at the time. Of course the doc released that it was some questionable food delivery but it was absolutely the flu for 20+ years
not a single person said it was a selfish decision at the time but you coronabros can't help yourselves. hell, MJ became an even bigger hero after "the flu game"
The article closes with it could have been all 3 things, Flu, Food, or booze.
It say his personal trainer THINKS it was food poisoning. Medical physician didn't confirm that.
The pizza guy said they put nothing in his food.
Could it have been poisoning sure, it could have been the Flu just as well. Not like they know for sure.
Any of us that lived at the time of the Michael Jordan "flu game" really don't need the 2nd hand account, whether it was from his trainer, what Jordan thinks, or an account in a documentary from a director or producer's angle. We heard the reports before and after the game first hand. It's not like "the last dance" is some end-all-be-all. I remember watching a documentary on Bonnie and Clyde when I was 14 that had me convinced they were like Robin Hood, instead of the cold blooded killers that they were (my father gave me an earful on that one and completely flipped out on my perception of them based on a documentary).
The fact of the matter is the decision to play in that game was Michael Jordan's. And it was believed he had the flu. If Phil Jackson said he was not going to let Jordan play because he was concerned he might give one of the other players the flu, the only one that would have been accused of being selfish would have been Jackson and there would have been complete outrage. I don't recall any Bulls fans (or basketball fans in general...except maybe the Jazz fans) wanting Jordan to sit out because of an infectious disease. The story was the game as it should have been with the Dodgers winning the World Series.
