Well, his teammates who were available to play yesterday were big on being football players.
Whether or not his post was meant to be taken seriously, to me, is irrelevant. He was unavailable. He's been borderline proud of it since he tested positive. And he posted a pic of himself with a big smile, doing nothing, while his team mates were getting ready for a must-win game.
I would be shocked if the majority of his teammates didn't appreciate the gesture, but we'll likely never know.
