So just forget Canada as an option.
I was afraid someone was posting the season is over because Jonah Williams is out for his 2nd season also. So glad that was not the post and Jonah Williams is fine.
NFL is going to try to have a season. MLB has 13 Miami Marlins with Covid and some players on other teams including Reds, but MLB as of this morning has not cancelled the season. Some games postponed, but most of the teams all play today. This is still July and too early to tell on September NFL season.
There is one option MLB, NFL, NBA should consider if needed....No fans in stands and so use the front row seats to get the players out of crowded dugouts and sidelines. There are plenty of seats to have distancing and masks as mandatory by the Leagues. Any stadium could have steps or ramps from seats to field. If rock concerts and such can build ramps and steps, so can NFL or MLB. .....I say this is an option....Miami may be a one team only deal, and NFL may want to watch out for Dolphins. ...You can bet Marlins already had Covid in Covid Miami before their road trip. 13 players tells you that. Plus Miami is worst city in Covid in USA right now.
I'm sure NFL still plans on having a season and in the USA.
This is the same logic as "open up schools".
The hard part isn't opening up! The hard part is keeping the schools open!
Football isn't like baseball where 95% of the plays have NOBODY even close to one another (other than batter/catcher). Football isn't like soccer where 75% of the plays have nobody close to one another.
What would happen to the Bengals if 11 starters tested positive after the first game? They might have enough 2nd stringers to fill in, sure. But what if more became infected before the next game? At some point you'd need to forfeit a game or two. Could you even call a season legitimate if the two teams playing in the Super Bowl forfeited more games than they won?
