Should be glorious. Even with the crowd noise a couple Fs and Ns can slip through during a game with the players jawing at each other. Really could become an issue for them now with 0 fans. Should be funny to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ****ed up thing is it looks like their blatant disregard for human health and communal welfare is going to maybe pay off given that there are lots of promising signs that there could be a working vaccine from the UK by September. Basically this entire gross exercise is going to be rewarded rather than suitable punished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 All teams will go down this route. Whether by their own announcement or a league directive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THESKINSFAN21 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Gonna be interesting to see games where crowds won't play a part in the game. Even playing field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much the vulgarities although those do happen, but sometimes wrestlers will call their spots and talk to each other during a match and they would take advantage of crowd noise to make this work. It never really came across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordyTheGoffer Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Lets face it, anything other than this decision would be asking for trouble when many people cant seem to grasp the basic concept of mask wearing.

I don't see why they dont just wait until like october and then have the superbowl in march or april. No real reason to get a 100+ people into a group to be on top of each other during a pandemic.

The most recent and comparative example (albeit still not apples to apples) would be SARS and that vaccine took 5 years. Granted, there is more of a rush on this as it is effecting the entire globe, but I still would put a vaccine out to the general public despite promising reports at early 2022. Keep in mind, when a vaccine does eventually get approved it will be reserved for essential personnel (hospital staff, etc) and high risk patients (elderly, asthmatics, pre-existing heart conditions, etc.) before it is open to the masses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw somewhere that they are mass producing the vaccines that show promise so that as soon as they have passed the trials they already have a sizeable chunk ready.

We will be amazingly fortunate if we have a vaccine by end of year, we shall be lucky if we get one next year. Anything sooner is a pipe dream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the UK dude, there is zero chance of a vaccine by September or anything like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
