Matt Stafford was declared to have a false positive for COVID-19 Tuesday after supposedly testing positive Saturday. The past four days have been a living hell for his wife, Kelly, and family.
And the Detroit Lions’ QB’s wife let the NFL have it in an Instagram post:
“For 24 hours, we believed my husband was positive for COVID,” Kelly Stafford wrote on Instagram. “We were all tested the day after and we were all negative including Matthew. Then he tested negative again, then again, again, and again.
“I blame the NFL for not holding themselves accountable. These are people’s lives and livelihoods that are in those results in THEIR test sites,” Kelly wrote. “Maybe we should be absolutely positive a person has COVID before releasing that info to the world.”
Kelly Stafford said her children were harassed since the news about her husband was made public.
“… Even after we knew it was false positive, our school told us they were not allowed back,” Stafford wrote about her children. “I was approached in a grocery store and told I was ‘endangering others,’ my kids were harassed and kicked off a playground, I was told I needed to wait in my car when trying to pick up food, and people closest to us had to get tested just so they could go back to work.”
