Make em sign a waiver and let’s start the season.

Sure those healthy players may not be at a major risk if they contract Covid-19.  But they could easily spread it to other staff members and others they spend time around that are not as healthy.  Those people could then easily spread it to others and so on and so forth. 

Football is an in your face sport.  Players are constantly in the face of other players breathing on each other, spittle, close contact and what not. It meets all the bench marks for spreading it.   So I can see where it would easily spread between players.

I think the concern is not so much with the healthy players themselves getting it and dying, but it spreading from the players to other people. I mean that's how this got so bad to start with.  Healthy people with little to no symptoms at first spreading it like wildfire.  Now everything is a mess.   Sure they could go super extreme and put all players and staff under daily testing and isolated in a bubble of sorts the entire season with no access to anyone in the outside world for the sake of playing a game.  But that is not really viable if not impossible.
