I don't think you're really happy CMC went on IR. I think you're happy that you have a high-upside starter for at least four games.
It's not the same thing. If you didn't have Mason, would you be happy CMC went on IR? No? Then that's not why you're happy.
what if you're playing against the CMC owner this week and the league champion wins 1 billion dollars? Then you're happy if he goes on IR, right?
It depends. Do I win or not? What if he had played but left early, scoring no points for my opponent, but instead the guy he used ends up being the difference. In that case I would have been happy if CMC had played and not scored points.
If I win I don't care if he goes on IR or not. If I lose, same thing. I'm happy if I won, unhappy if I lost. It would be better if he didn't go on IR but didn't play, or played a few snaps.
What I'm saying is, I care about me winning. I'm not really happy about someone going on IR. I'm happy at the end of the week because I won. I don't think it's the same thing as being happy someone goes on IR.
Now, say CMC plays a few snaps and leaves and that's the difference in me winning a billion dollars? I'm happy he didn't finish the game, but not happy if it was a Damar Hamlin-type thing. I'd want it to be a precautionary, BS reason. I'd be happy I won, but not happy a young man's life is in jeopardy. I see them as different. Does that make sense?
