UCLA Football Players Demand Coronavirus Protection

Thirty UCLA football players have united in support behind a document they say will protect them as they return to campus amid the coronavirus pandemic -- but what this says about Chip Kelly and the football program go beyond the virus itself.

According to J. Brady McCullough of the Los Angeles Times, the document asserts that players "do not trust coach Chip Kelly’s program to act in their best interest, particularly in regard to their health, a realm where it says UCLA has 'perpetually failed us,' citing 'neglected and mismanaged injury cases.' The document does not provide examples.
