Not sure how not playing football and not being tested regularly, with so many family members dying, is really a good thing, but I certainly don't begrudge his decision.

I mean it could be that he lost 4 family members in 6 months and, emotionally, he just cant play football. These are human beings not robots.

I totally understand. I feel for the kid. And you just said it. The decision is an emotional one, not necessarily a logical one.

Say what? It’s pretty damn logical. He’s not your personal entertainment.

TripleA did not explicitly or implicitly state that Gainwell has any obligations to him or any Tiger fan.

The emotional reason suffices alone for Kenny’s departure. He and his family have suffered devastating losses.

However, rationally he is likely safer from catching CV-19 in a monitored environment than mingling at-large and, if inflected, would have obtained first class treatment. Furthermore, he might have improved his draft stock with an outstanding season. It is my understanding he is not a projected first or second round pick presently.

All Tiger fans harbor goodwill toward Gainwell and wish him future happiness and success.
