Yes, my statement covers that.

Kind of blipped over the difference between "a critical function for society" and "a critical function for an athlete", didn't you?

Happen I agree with you in terms of the choice I would make, me, but I have nothing at stake in this particular choice. I'm a little reluctant to so blithely if not smugly make that choice for someone else.

Y'all do what y'all want to do, though. Obviously.

So, as long as it's the livelihood and food not coming out of your mouth, you can feel comfortable to make bold statements. That's fine for you. I'm not going to presume to demand those kinds of principles of others, but I suppose I'd applaud them when they manage to make such a stand in the face of grim circumstances.
