I was disappointed in the way the training staff of the chiefs, uh handled the situation, you get hurt, especially something that could be serious.
Like mine was, you’re supposed to rely on the team’s training staff or, you know, their doctors and I was supposed to see a ophthalmologist, which is somebody who checks out I performs, you know, eye surgery and they took an entire quarter to get down to talk to me in the locker room, which to me is unacceptable because then you start thinking, you know, what if I was trying to go back in the game?
What if I was, you know, really, really hurt?
I know mine was having to be moderate, but it still was serious because it’s a I and, you know, your expectation of someone to be down there and just the way it took time was super under professional to me.
Um, you know, especially the, there’s people that were in there too, that one of the doctors or the friend of the doctor was in their double cup, fisted styrofoam cups like everything was good and I just felt like that was unprofessional and I can understand how Kansas City, the players have given that training room an because um with my experience, I would have probably after that gave them the um an F two people have that expectation of you being professional handling business and in a time of need, I wanted that from uh them and I felt like I didn’t get it because then you get into like, did they take their time because, you know, I’m a Ravens player, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Those are, those are just the thoughts that go into it.
I don’t think it was that but, you know, at the same time I don’t want them to come out and apologize.
It is what it is like I experienced it.
I know the training room that I was in knows like we know the truth and it was just disappointing because I wanted that to be handled because I feel like I deserved um care in that.
