We heard that Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor was a last-second scratch from last Sunday’s game against the Chiefs because he had complications from a painkilling injection he was taking due to injured ribs.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Taylor’s lung was punctured when the team’s doctor was administering the injection.
Taylor may have lost his starting job to Rookie QB Justin Herbert as a result of this.
On his first IG post since the injury, and before the news of the punctured lung came out, fans had thoughts:

parker.oberg I am not sure if that rib injury was real. If it wasn’t, and you did it just to let Herbert play, that was a selfless act bro, you are a good Qb but Herbert is new and needs playtime, hope you two work well together 2d 9 likes Reply

sameoldsaid @k.singh_74 exactly my thoughts. Fandom strips people of their humanity.
It should be noted that Tyrod Taylor has been a vocal supporter of the Black Lives Matter Protests and that white fans typically don’t have room in their hearts for anything more than Black athletes with duct tape over their mouths dribbling and dancing and running with the ball.
They want to see Black athletes risking their bodies for frothing white fandom. They mean to see us suffer.
They want to laugh at our broken ribs, our punctured lungs. They call us washed up when our bodies are used up, spent. When our mouths open to speak, they shove revolvers down our throats. They sit on La-Z-Boys sipping piss water light. Beer breath stuck to neckbeards. Anger etched in beady red eyes. Cheetos stains on chests tell no lies.
These people are dead inside.
They live off the system that prioritizes their leisure at the expense of our lives.
Welcome to America.
Don’t mistake this coffin for a country, Black
