....but the "all clear" was issued on April 3, 2013. three weeks BEFORE the start of 2013 draft on April 25, 2013.....

 

Right but the point is they thought whatever they found out AT the combine was serious enough not to let him participate. Precautionary.

 

With Sweat, they supposedly found this condition and then let him participate anyways. If it was serious, it's his heart, you don't let someone participate in drills and do things physically if there's a change he collapses at the combine.

The whole thing seems like a red herring-even if this kid has some heart issues it does not mean they would necessarily negatively impact his NFL career as a DE-what is far more statistically likely is serious problems would arise down the road after his NFL career is done. NFL players overall have shortened lifespans but this does not necessarily affect their NFL playing ability/production.

facts, don't let them get in the way of the narrative  :D

 

 

 

Um, what facts did I not lay out and what narrative? Did they or did they not let Star participate at the combine because they thought they found something with his heart? Hint: They didn't.

 

Did they let Sweat participate after they supposedly found something with his heart? Hint: They did.

 

Ok then. Facts.

it's not all that cut and dried, hopefully a physician would never clear someone as eligible to play in the NFL with a known condition that might kill him

 

until he is on the roster

its very suspicious that the news is let out the  day oof the draft.. Yes there will be legal issues if it was botched...

I doubt there will be any legal issues. It was the NFL's doctor opinion of the tests they ran. It is called practicing medicine for a reason. I am sure all the teams have access to the tests and scans so they can come to their own conclusions but they just dont make them public for obvious reasons. Maybe the teams doctors agree with the doctor at the combine and maybe they dont.

...don't think facts were being questioned...I know I was not......purpose of my Star post was a reasonable time line to get the "all clear" out weeks in advance versus today's news on Draft Day.....
