If a player opts out then he will be behind everyone trying to make roster next year.

Seems like the worst think a marginal player could do is take a year off.

I can see the reasoning.  Pacific Islanders, Latinos, and Black people top the list, when it comes to susceptibility to Covid-19.  Has more to do with risk, than with playing ability.  Both are very large humans, which are prone to having underlying health issues to begin with.  They are both still young enough to give it another go, once the virus runs it's course.
