Not really sure what you're saying re: a player passing away from the corona virus during the season isn't a big deal. Who isn't it a big deal to?

spare me the one life argument.
we could all stay locked down and save 100,000 lives...but we arent for lots of reasons as you know
people are working right now at jobs that are at much more risk to their health than the ball players.
the ballplayers dont have to play if they dont want to. ian desmond has opted out and so will many others......so again if one ball player does i dont see it as a big deal to MLB......they dont have to play if they dont want to and they dont need the money compared to the public at large...
look how many players are already testing positive for the virus and they havent even started the season...if its the same percentage getting the virus when the season started and someone dies.....someone could of easily died without playing as they are still catching the virus anyway...plus what if the percentage catching the virus is less compared to what the percentage is now..
you going to blame mlb for the death when the testing percentage of positive is lower than what it is before they arrived to camp?
if negligence and we have a whole team flare up..thats a different story...
