‘Keep yo a-- in the house,’ Deshaun Watson tells Texans teammate as state reopens
Starting May 1, Texas will be celebrating the reopening of businesses across the state. Despite medical experts strongly insisting that it’s not safe to open states amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Greg Abbott has said that restaurants, stores, movie theaters, malls, museums and libraries will be allowed to open at 25% capacity, according to CNN.
While some sports figures, including Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, are openly vocal against Abbott’s actions, others such as Houston Texans defensive end Charles Omenihu are excited.
With sports being globally suspended for almost two months, athletes can start feeling the lingering effects of cabin fever while practicing safe social distancing. But we’re not at Jack Torrance levels from “The Shining” just yet.
Scientists have warned against states opening too early in fear of a second COVID-19 wave, and it appears that Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson would rather play it safe than spend an evening on the (newly reopened) town.
That sounds like a direct order from the team’s leader.
But Omenihu just wants to prepare for what everyone hopes will be the return of the NFL in the fall.
While he does look forward to getting out of the house at some point, Omenihu urged those following him on Twitter to practice safe social distancing in order for the world to return to some sense of normalcy.
