There is so much revenue and the players need/want their salaries. It isn't like baseball where there are 162 games to generate revenue from attendance so even if the average NFL team has 15% capacity and forces masks (which should make for some funny sounds), they will still generate massive TV revenues.
If there is a player with an immune disease that has legitimate fears of complications from the virus, then he will be able sit the season out and there will have to be some kind of small settlement for him.
The interesting thing will be how when a team has an infected individual, even asymptomatic, is how long they will be forced to sit out. I'm guessing two weeks. The team that has the most mature, dedicated, and protective conditions around their players will win it all this year. If you have Piggy going to bars when he is out of town, he and a lot of his guys will get the virus and forfeit a portion of their season.
The sad thing is it will only take one guy being selfish during the season to infect some of his teammates. For their salaries, and to make it work this year, they are going to have to be extremely careful and just live like monks during the season.
All that being said, I do believe there will be a season in the NFL. College I am not so sure.
Great post buddy, well said, feel the same. Love how Taylor and company went and got stand up individuals this Offseason
in Free Agency and in the Draft. We might have a better chance at the whole enchilada the more I think about what you say
here. We went out and got unselfish guys and added them to our already unselfish guys.
