Stephens, 20, died Sept. 9. His family revealed the cause of his death to CBS News in an interview Tuesday morning. His mother, Kelly Allen, told CBS that she was worried for football players and other athletes who were playing sports this fall in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

"I'm very, very nervous for these young men and women … These kids, their lives are priceless. And it's just not worth it. It's not worth it," she said.

....in July, there has to be a question of when and where the young man contracted the disease. I am not defending or condemning one way or the other, but it seems for the most part, social media is attributing not only the actual physical contact involved in playing football to this case, but also simply due to the fact he was a football player. It seems as though the possibility this could have happened at a party, a restaurant, a family social event, and any number of other activities is being dismissed out of hand by said social media. As I have stated previously, this is not about defending or condemning the decision to play, or not to play football. I ask the questions simply because facts still matter.
