(SB) Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

I hear you rick and agree but please tell me why fans are often given injury updates on football and basketball players and not the other sports.

 

Gambling?

 

There certainly are justifiable reasons....healthcare privacy is a very real constraint
One could argue there is no justifiable reason fans need to know other than simple curiosity

 

It isn't just football and basketball. Gasso generally gives at least enough info to give her fans a heads up. It happens all of the time in all sports. Depends on how the program is run. An age old question at this point. You don't have to provide a complete list of details. Just a general diagnosis and vague prognosis is all that is needed. But, at least the fans and supporters have some information and don't have to speculate and start rumors the way it is now.

 

Totally disagree. Healthcare privacy is constantly thrown up and it is nothing but a red herring. Thousands of times, literally, in all sports information is provided. So we are one of the few programs that uses healthcare privacy as an excuse for dead silence? Sully doesn't hide information. Golden doesn't. Napier doesn't. Kelly Rae doesn't. Etc.

 

Lol....Napier is roasted nonstop for not giving injury info. Golden gives limited responses when directly asked.
And as someone working within the confines of Hipaa legislation I can very much assure you it is not a red herring

 

I didn't mean to stir up the animals but I thank-you people for your responses.

 

Not really true. For instance, Lagway's health was speculated about all spring. I can think of a few baseball players that have missed time with no official explanation, etc etc.
