Panthers S Tre Boston implores people: ‘Just wear the damn mask’

Boston called out the stupidity and implored people to just wear the damn mask.

Last week, Carolina Panthers safety Tre Boston expressed concern about the 2020 season happening after taking part in a two-hour call with the NFLPA, saying “it’s not looking good.” The NFL already faced enormous challenges regarding how to start up even before COVID-19 case numbers started exploding in dozens of states.

Yesterday, Boston shared an emotional follow-up to a tweet by North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, which had a large number of ignorant, selfish replies in the comments. Boston called out the stupidity and implored people to just wear the damn mask.

Here’s the thing. Wearing a mask is not an affront to your personal freedoms or your body’s ability to take in oxygen. Doctors and nurses have been wearing them all day at work for decades and can breathe perfectly fine. Also, countries that have embraced wearing masks have had far better results than the United States and some of them are already back to normal.

If you cannot be bothered to care about your fellow human beings, at least do it for the sports.
