[Herky] Players mental health overlooked in Big Ten's decision

[Larry Edwards]

Frequency seems to be the issue: 


“We know that if you have active cardiac involvement from a virus, this virus seems to do it more often than any other virus we’ve ever seen,” Matthew Martinez, consulting cardiologist for the NBA Players Association, recently told USA TODAY Sports. 


“There are things about this virus that we have not seen before with other viruses. I do think that just with some of these reports that have publicly noted that they’ve had myocarditis, it affirms the need that a conservative approach still remains an appropriate plan.”

one of the reasons the big 10 cited was a possible heart condition as a result of the virus. The seasonal flu has the same possible side effect and we have ignored it for years.
