I'm with Teejers on this -- the Turner story is closer to a minor blip than a scandal. Turner was irresponsible, but he already had been exposed that same evening to the teammates with whom he was celebrating. Turner will probably get suspended for a few games and this will be viewed as a minor transgression by most people, aside from those who hate the Dodgers and are looking for something to gripe about (and I realize there are a lot of Dodger-haters on this board!)

When Jose Canseco drove ridiculously fast (140, 104), he knowingly put other people's lives at risk.  So did Turner.   Just because/if no one got hurt this time is not a good reason to discount his behavior as a "minor transgression".

At least, we hope no one got hurt.  We can't know that yet.

Wow, this board has so rightfully derided the President over his behavior when he was sick, and his lack of being a good role model when he wasn't.  It seems this other public figure is being treated quite differently.

Maybe we need a pledge that people publicly subscribe to:  "If I am aware I may be contagious with COVID-19, I will strive to avoid infecting others."
