Buffalo_Stampede Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Just postpone the season. A vaccine hopefully will be available in the fall-winter. Why force this. I'm perfectly fine with a season starting in December going through May. 1

We can't even gather outside? Expand How is gathering outside any different than gathering inside? Sad as it is we need to get used to the notion that no football at all is a very real possibility. Already two games of preseason are gone, folk poo poo preseason but right now I’ll bet those same folk would be darned happy to watch there team in preseason. 1

We can't regulate the market for health and safety? Right? Isn't it the right of Chinese business owners to be able to sell their goods without govt interference? Right? That's the root cause. But we can't expect Americans to have a sense of political, economic, environmental or historical context. That would be asking too much of Americans. 2 3 1

Logic Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) As much as I want there to be a 2020 NFL season...if it means endangering athletes and coaches by pushing them out onto the field in the midst of a deadly pandemic in the name of the almighty dollar, I'd rather they just cancelled the season. It's bad enough that the NFL pretends to care about the health and safety of its players while constantly engaging in actions that put them in greater danger (Thursday night games, adding a 17th game to the season), but to now potentially stage a season in the midst of massive nationwide spikes in COVID numbers (and don't forget, the second wave that may be yet to come, despite the fact that we haven't even exited the first wave yet)? I just don't see how they can do it safely. I hope, hope, hope I'm wrong. But when it's all said and done, I don't need 1,600 athletes and 32 coaching staffs full of people to put their lives and their families' lives in danger for my entertainment. Life, health, and safety are more important than sports. Edited July 2, 2020 by Logic 1 1

Mr. WEO Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 How is this "news". NYS has banned large event gatherings since the beginning. 1
stevestojan Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 AT THE TIME OF PUBLICATION (see:Today. So, no fans at a semi-Pro Tennis match in Batavia this Sunday). 1

Not sure what magic potion you think will clear things up by then where allowing a stadium of people to sit, stand and jump around yelling and screaming around each other for hours would be responsible decision making. Expand It could happen in a week, a month, 4 months six months a year ,2 years, 5 , 10 or never. It's not the point. You claimed that it's official that there wont be fans for any games this year, and that's false. 1
