Hey, I get it. Everybody on this site is a Bengals fan. Everybody is a football fan, too. We'd love to be able to have a completely normal season.

But the risks to the players are serious ... and they know it. The national news the other day showed a story about a 25-year old gal who ran marathons competitively. She came down with COVID-19 3 months ago. She never got sick enough to go to the hospital. She said that she's just about over it now but her Doc said that she'd likely suffer asthma for the rest of her life. Which means that she'll never be able to compete again. Ever.

Personally, I don't give a siht what your politics are or whether or not you're concerned about your personal safety. But if your opinion is that the players ought to play regardless, then you're really saying that you don't give a siht about their safety. You are saying that you'd be OK with Burrow, A.J., Mixon, Jonah, Geno, etc. never playing again just so you could watch them play this year.

If we don't have a season, so be it. Or if a vaccine becomes available in early 2021 and every player, coach, etc. ... on every team (no anti-vaxxers allowed) ... receives it, then a shortened "Spring season" would be possible.

Otherwise, suck it up and live with it until Fall 2021 ... maybe.

Oh horsehockey. They have tests that give results in less than 15 minutes. If everyone is tested before each practice and game, they have less chance of contracting it in a controlled environment, even while playing, than they do by going out to a restaurant or clubbing, or going to a backyard cookout while they are sitting out the season. Does anyone really think these 20 something year olds with pockets of cash are going to sit home and quarantine they whole time???
