TecmoSuperJoe Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) The NFL will never give a F about safety of it's workers. Regardless of what they say. They'll extend seasons for money, play games on Thursdays, and even in a pandemic their solution is to put their head under the covers and hope it just vanishes into the ether. Embarrassing, but not a shock. Just milk the cows dry until the cows are a corpse. Edited July 20, 2020 by TecmoSuperJoe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like I said, the next 3 weeks will be heated discussions over the next stimulus bill. One side is demanding liability protections for employers. That’s how the NFL will skate by. Now college football? They’re screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had more time than any other major sport to get this done, work on an agreement, etc, and they just wasted all that time. Even if you account for the variances in how the situation with covid has gone through the months, there should have been a plan in place They didn't waste the time. I'm sure they spent time trying to figure out the safest way to play this season. What I think they found is that there really isn't a feasible way to ensure players and staff safety during the season, and they won't risk losing the season because of the money involved, so they purposefully sat on their hands and are just ignoring it. Willful ignorance is even more evil than incompetence, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 If there is no isolation...players will get the virus. There is a lag between transmission and testing positive. If the players continue to go home each day...they have to assume the risk that they could get it. If they can’t assume the risk...then they shouldn’t play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatJaxxenGuy Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) It’s better to not play at all than to call the season off half way through in shame and embarrassment. I don’t see how they can field a season, it’s a logistical clusterf—— one guy walks in the door and next thing you know 30 guys test positive and you can’t field a team. Do you forfeit or does the league fake the tests? An NFL player’s Wife or kid gets sick and dies due to covid outbreak related to football, will they feel the millions of dollars were worth it? I don’t see how they can do it unless all players live in a camp in the wilderness and interact with no one but themselves for football, and even then they will need to quarantine for weeks before interacting with eachother. I just don’t see it coming together in a way that’s actually protecting anyone, so I guess if it starts it’s the NFL deciding associated deaths are just a PR tax Edited July 20, 2020 by ThatJaxxenGuy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, but probably for different reasons. I just don't want to see a half assed season where concessions have to be made that bastardize the game.

Packerraymond Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Deadlines spur actions. No way that MLB, NHL, NBA will have their season resume and the NFL calls off theirs. This'll be done in a day or two and football will go on as planned, at least on the pro side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL is pushing with all their might Those other leagues have plans to resume, but so far.... they are just plans. We'll see how that all works out in a month or so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know twitter is a cesspool of poor opinions but still. As others have alluded to there will be a season. Theres too much money on the table for there not to be, both for the players but particularly the Owners. However I wouldn't be surprised if it's a significantly changed one. Fans certainly are a no go right? Edited July 20, 2020 by Magnifico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean all we have to do is offer the coronavirus some mo' money and it will go away ? Damn, why didn't you say something sooner dude ? NFL planned for a normal FA feeding frenzy in March; clubs spent a lot of money on it - but this year it just didn't work out as planned NFL planned a massive extravaganza in Vegas for the April draft, invested a lot of money in it - but it didn't work work out as planned NFL planned to have a HOF ceremony and HOF game and invested a lot of money to make it happen...didn't work out as planned NFL planned to have 4 preseason games and invested a lot of money on that effort - it didn't work out- they'll end up with 1 or 0 NFL planned to have TC open up this week and spent a lot of money to make it happen...not looking real good right now Apparently, the coronavirus doesn't give a **** about how much money is invested... So far - nothing has gone according to plan for the NFL in 2020... and I suspect that trend continues. Speaking of money... Q: Will the start of the 2020 NFL season be delayed? Sportsbooks are suddenly laying odds that it will.https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/news/nfl/odds-2020-nfl-season-starting-on-time-changing-rapidly-delayed-start-becoming-likely/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
