Minnesota Vikings star QB Kirk Cousins claims he ain’t scared of coronavirus at all … saying if it were up to him, he’d ditch masks and let nature straight-up just run its course.
“For me personally,” Cousins says, “just talking no one else can get the virus, ‘What is your concern if you could get it?’ I would say I’m going to go about my daily life.”
“You know, even if I die,” the 2-time Pro Bowler added. “If I die, I die.”
Cousins made his stance on the pandemic crystal clear to Kyle Brandt on the NFL Network star’s “10 Questions With Kyle Brandt” podcast … saying he wishes there was just a “survival of the fittest” approach to the whole thing.
“If I get it, I’m going to ride it out,” 32-year-old Cousins says. “I’m going to let nature do its course … And just say, if it knocks me out, it knocks me out. I’m going to be OK.”
In fact, when Brandt asked Cousins, “If 1 is the person who says, ‘Masks are stupid, you’re all a bunch of lemmings’ and 10 is, ‘I’m not leaving my master bathroom for the next 10 years,’ where do you land?” … Cousins said he’d be a “.000001.”
But, don’t get it twisted … Kirk says he’s still going to follow EVERY coronavirus protocol the NFL and the Vikings put in place — simply because he respects others might have differing opinions from him on the matter.
So far, the Vikings have avoided any COVID catastrophes … with no reported team breakouts yet.
However, several in the NFL have tested positive in recent months — including head coaches Anthony Lynn, Sean Payton and Doug Pederson … though all have since recovered fully.
