Ian Desmond’s statement about his decision to sit out this season is very thoughtful and layered. This is just part of it: https://t.co/ib8v4Hk374

You may not agree with #Rockies #IanDesmond sitting out or you may opt for the cynical comment, but Desmond has always been a man of strong convictions and someone who will “walk the walk.”

The Rockies’ Ian Desmond has opted out of the 2020 season, but that feels secondary to a heartfelt, incisive Instagram post about his place in the world and baseball’s as well. The whole post is here: https://t.co/rLnOu3CP2k.

But the part I’ve attached is important and spot-on.

[Bill Shaikin @BillShaikin]

Ian Desmond opts out, with an essay well worth reading. https://t.co/6AETyPOmB7

[Brian McNally @bmcnally14]

I’ve covered a lot of athletes in a lot of sports. Few were as direct as Ian Desmond. He pulled no punches. Ever. Powerful statement.

[CTF Colorado @ctfcolorado]

@DNVR_Rockies Total and complete respect. Desi's off field endeavors and the joy and inspiration he's brought to so many suffering families show how truly unselfish he is, and that he lives his life for bigger things. Will always stand with him.

[Thomas Harding @harding_at_mlb]

Instead, he will stay home with his wife, Chelsey, who is pregnant with the couple's fifth child. He will also help the Sarasota Little League, where he got his chance to live the happiness and heartache of baseball, and make sure children that aren't getting the opportunity do.

[Patrick Saunders @psaundersdp]

As many as 90% of children and adults with NF1 have learning challenges, and may need some form of learning assistance.#EndNF#NF1
