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?
Look, I'm commenting on a post SEASON IS ALREADY OVER. I am not commenting on Republican vs Democrat of shut everything down or open everything up. Nor am I commenting on schools.
It's clear you didn't read my post, so I'll say it again. I'm sure as of now The NFL still intends to have a season. So to say the season is over is false or fake news, unless some of you have sources showing The NFL & Bengals saying there will be no 2020 season.
As to your last part on WHAT IF's...MLB Marlins have 13 players with Covid, but season is still going as of now...NO, these may not be like other years. Nothing is like other years. 2020 is Covid. Everybody is just doing the best they can and that includes NFL and MLB and NBA. ....NBA and NCAA already showed that if they have to stop the season, they can and will.
Players in any sport may need to stay out of their night clubs that are still OPEN. Those are probably more Covid riddled than open air playing field and may be where Miami Marlins got it, hitting South Beach night clubs. In past some Bengal players have hit the late night nudie bars, but this may not be the year for that. As of now, I haven't heard NFL Season cancelled.
