Not to mention all of the gameday staff that inhabit the sidelines and stadium, many of whom are not world-class athletes. Far from it, in fact. Factor in their spouses and immediate family members. Now we're talking a single game exposure of over a thousand people, most of whom aren't even on the field or employed by the league. And then, all the people they interact with. All of this taking place when almost half our states are seeing spikes and on a New York-type trajectory, and with the planet just having set a one day global record for new infections.
As time goes by I'm less optimistic about this happening. So, like someone said upthread: prepare for no professional sports. And maybe, somehow, we'll be fortunate enough to see someone playing some sport at some point.
