Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 3933645, member: 405"] That article by Mink about the internal politics of the team last year confirmed for me what I remembered - internal turmoil on the team about player safety, particularly when different states had different testing protocols, and obviously the Southern states were the least on top of it, had the most exposure, and all the politics against testing, against masks, etc. Then, on top of that, the team was upset with Dino for not using his position to speak up against police violence against Black people. The whole "ohana" thing went out the window last year, and tellingly in the article, it has not all been won back. We very clearly need a good start to this season to avoid this turning into another shttshow. The downside possibility of this team falling apart remains. A fragile culture remains. Not encouraging to read that article. [/QUOTE]
