yep, the worst franchise in pro sports ruins it for everyone, everywhere.

They should be punished for this.

This is the first day ive felt defeated in wishful thinking in regards to sports.

The protocol they released last month should have done that. Nobody is willing to do what must be done to actually play, so there really isn’t any reason to even start these seasons

Teams probably should have been placed in a bubble or hub cities like the NHL and NBA have done.

The NFL is shady enough to play players that have the virus as long as they don't show symptoms and the player is ok with it. It's all about the money, you think Tom Brady is missing a playoff game if he gets Covid?

The problem with the virus is that the vast majority don't show symptoms. But it kills indiscriminately. Young, old, fit, sick. There is no pattern and now 6 different strains. Out of the 1000's of players, no one wants to see 1 end up dead. Not to mention the lawsuit.

Personally, I'm in favor of Spring football, if a vaccine is available.

Yeah, well common sense and MLB haven't gone hand in hand in nearly 30 years.

Don’t turn over rocks looking for cases and you can play sports. Otherwise, it’s nearly impossible

There is most definitely a pattern. The old and specifically those with comorbidities

If only the owners were smart enough to dump Manfred.

just to play along. I wonder how this would work. Would we see any basketball on other than Sundays-Thursday? The idea of having football and basketball at the same time sounds amazing.

if players want to play, why not let them play? They are adults who can make their own decisions.

Any replacement could probably bring in the same or more revenue though.

Idiots on both sides have so politicized a healthcare issue that I don't believe any of them. Then you have the conspiracy nut jobs that seem to spread like wildfire due to social media. Put it all together and it's like our country just needs to shite out the right wing nut jobs and puke up the left wing nut jobs all at the same time so the rest of us can resume normalcy.
