An organisation the size of the NFL should be leaders in the community. The major sports over here in Australia have led our country in biosecurity measures. We currently have one of our sports in a bubble in one state, playing 20 days of footy in a row. They allowed each player to take family members into the bubble with them.
We have another sport using private jets to fly players around the country on game days to allow them to have minimal contact with others. These biosecurity measure they have put in place have allowed them to gain exemptions from governments to overcome border closures and covid restrictions. The government has used the sports biosecurity measure to help get other industries moving. Where is NFL? Why aren't they leading the country with ideas to get things working?
Yep... I've liked reading your posts on how things are being handled down there.
Roger Goodell is very reactionary. This is the same guy who suspended Chris Henry for 8 games for being a self destructive knucklehead, and suspended Ray Rice 2 games knowing there was footage of him decking his wife. When that video hit the public he caved. The NFL spent the entire spring talking about opening weekend on schedule with full stadiums. Adam Silver of the NBA and Gary Bettman actually put some thought into how to finish their seasons... Rob Manfred did what baseball does... Argue about money, and fall on it's face outta the gate. Goodell and the NFL are much closer to Manfred than they are Silver or Bettman.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
