University of Illinois linebacker Milo Eifler has stepped out to say something about returning to the playing field (and campus) this fall amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Eifler took to Twitter to state his belief that “schools around the country are showing blatant disregard for student athletes”, as returning to the playing field will cause more infections and death. Just last week, we wrote about how returning to on-campus instruction in the fall is a mistake.
See the tweets below, and head over to the thread to see responses from other players as well:
UPDATE: It apperas Elfie took down the second tweet, but here’s a screenshot:
