Kirk Cousins Faces Backlash Over Coronavirus Comments

CHARLOTTE, N.C.–

In a recent interview, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins made comments about the coronavirus saying he’s at peace with the thought of contracting the virus and that if he dies, he dies.

Cousins eventually walked back those comments after a wave of backlash. Cousins said he did not express himself as clear as he would have liked.

Although the virus does not bring him much personal fear, Cousins is following CDC guidelines to be respectful of others and so that he can complete the NFL Season.
