Cardinals St. Louis Cardinals sidelined with COVID - Page 3

More postponements.

Positive coronavirus tests with the St. Louis Cardinals have postponed their game against the Milwaukee Brewers, a source tells ESPN, confirming the @jonheyman report. Unclear how many, but to this point positives had been limited to teams in the East. Now in the Central, too.

Football will only have to travel 8 times

It doesn’t compare to baseball

The sideline exposure can be mitigated somewhat.

The direct, lineman on lineman, WR on DB contact, no way.

Over/under on whether Belicheck knowingly allows a defender/player to play with COVID to infect the other team??

There’s also more time in between games, but don’t let that get in the way of your agenda.

And they’re outside in well ventilated areas.

Hes better than brady so hes going to play until hes 50 anyway. I think we'll be okay. And everyone would get a year of rest so I doubt it would cut a year off many players careers regardless. Maybe brady would have to actually retire though.

Based on what I’ve seen there hasn’t been a case of spread happening outside in well ventilated areas

You know like a stadium ?

Players were getting this during lock-downs. Players were getting this before the season opened. Players are GOING to get this because MLB didn't attempt to isolate them outside of the ballparks.

Players getting COVID was inevitable and if they simply planned on locking down any team that had a positive test, they shouldn't have bothered. And that goes for every single one of these major sports.

Accept occasional cases as an inevitability or don't bother. This is ridiculous.

Clearly that wasn't their plan as the Marlins had positive tests and played another game. An 18th Marlin player tested positive today. The players are pushing herd immunity! Not sure about the coaches and others that travel with the team. 2 coaches had it that day of the initial shutdown

We will soon see if the bubble approach will work better with the NBA and the NHL.

If it does, the NFL could go with that approach. The chance of having fans in the stands is looking less likely. Have the teams play in a couple of places. There are many places in the US that have multiple places for teams to trian and practice in the area around an NFL stadium.

Didn't the NFL players already say no?

Yeah, I think he has deleted the post but once posted to the internet, it lives forever.
