If you test the daylights out of the teams you might not have to forfeit, if you can stay ahead of it. That's the point here... you'd have to be able to test to isolate anyone who gets it right away.

The problem comes in when a Mahomes, or Brees or Aaron Donald is the one who has to sit out. You might have teams missing an important player or two, but that might be just how it is.

They will play the season. But, probably not with fans in the stands.

As someone who's watched WWE without fans a few times, it is ass, completely changes the product.

Widespread testing MAY solve some issues, but getting there apparently is the hard part.

For a country that could churn out B-24's, tanks, trucks, etc during WWII, we sure are struggling with basics like masks and tests.

Things will be back to normal sooner than later. The virus is a hoax and more and more people are realizing it. Death to the media!

If they are going to pull players for getting COVID it would be to a team's competitive advantage to have all players have it now.

Hopefully we won't be able to hear football teams telling each other what they're about to do

Alright Alex Jones chill the fuck out.

Harder for people to get rich via fraudulent government contracts for masks and tests I guess

The shutdown was to flatten the curve to avoid overwhelming the healthcare system. Mission accomplished.

If anyone is under any illusions that this virus is going to go away or that the majority of the population isn't going to get this virus eventually, they are fooling themselves. It's time to open things up and return to some semblance of normal. Protect the very minute portion of the population that is going to get really sick from this virus and let the rest of us get out in the world and get infected. That is the only way we are going to get close to herd immunity.

Let's play some football with fans in the stands. If you are old or have an underlying condition, stay the fuck home. The rest of us are going to watch Mahomes and company rape faces on Sunday.

I wish it were this simple.
[Reply]

Yea, if it was that simple we wouldn't be having to many issues.
[Reply]

The only reason it's not is because everyone is afraid to face the fact that some people are going to die from this virus. There's not much we can do to stop that from happening except wait for a vaccine, which may never come.
[Reply]

What issues are those? That people are getting infected and that the vast majority of those people either asymptomatic or symptomatic and surviving.
[Reply]

some = 80K+ dead so far. How many more dying are acceptable if you get to watch a football game in the stands? Whats the number?
