Why Hasn't Anyone Talked About-A Possible Cancellation?

Meks my friend, IF there is a need for a mandatory vaccination program, then you are the type who would deserve some jail time.

MTK, very succinctly stated. And right on.

I think Gates can be trusted because he voluntarily surrendered most of his fortune and dedicated it to public good. He has done more for the world than anyone on this board. He has done more for the world than any of the Trumps or other self centered right wing conspiracy jerks. He made a fortune and he has dedicated that fortune to make the world better for those less fortunate than him. He deserves RESPECT for trying to use his good fortune for the benefit of others.

Not only that, he owned his mistakes.. Even he admitted that when he founded Microsoft, he wasn't exactly a great guy at the time.

I met Bill Gates only once.

He did disclose, however, that he named his company ...

Microsoft ...

Try this scene..two players on two different teams test positive just before the start of the season...the rest of the team has to quarentine and there goes the season.

... unless there are treatments available that allow for the recovery of the infected players.

Effective treatments for this thing are popping up all over the world. Some as quick as 4 and 5 days.

The idea that we will always have to quarantine as a society over this does not give our health care providers any credit for their abilities to find treatments to these kinds of viruses.

Plus a quarantine is 2 to 3 weeks, not a full nfl season

The New York Post's Andrew Marchand reports the NFL is considering scheduling more Saturday games if the NCAA college football season is postponed.
It's one way to dominate the weekend. The Thursday and Monday schedules wouldn't be affected, but the NFL could opt for a couple island games on Saturdays if the college season doesn't happen due to COVID-19. The NFL is expected to release its schedule by May 9, and there will be built-in flexibility to move some games to Saturdays depending on what the NCAA decides. The NFL could conceivably have a triple-header of sorts on Saturdays like it does during the playoffs with games at 1 PM ET, 4:30 PM ET, and 8 PM ET.

Lol...good. Lotta fuckin up going around and the NFL is gonna come out on top. No surprise. College football needs to realize if things go really well, they might stay this way going forward

The Coronavirus Pandemic will not be over by Sept. The strategy of the government has been to make announcements about the future on a month-by-month basis. They’re afraid people would go crazy if the governors or President said that this crisis will last another year or two..... but it will.

The NFL has a lot of power and people want the regular season games to go on. How can they do it ?

1. No fans in the stadium. All the non-players in the field and security in the stands will wear masks and gloves. Players will be tested before each game for COVID 19. Televised games with no crowd noise? Yeah, fans will get used to it.

2. Limited fans in the stadium. All fans must wear masks and sit every third or fourth seat. All the non-players in the field and players will use the same tactics listed above. Non-players are masked and players are tested before each game.

When does the pandemic end?

A. A vaccine is developed and given to almost everyone in population (see HERD IMMUNITY below). Experts predict the time to develop vaccine will take 1-1.5 years MINIMUM. Everyday, there are media stories of a potential cure or vaccine being tried. A scattered approach is NOT the best way to develop either a vaccine or cure. A systematic approach to either is better than the “throwing jello on the wall” and hoping something sticks.

B. Develop a cure. There is no cure for viruses, but maybe a cure for the effects. Again, this may take over a year or more.

C. HERD IMMUNITY for at least 50-75% of the population. That assumes that ppl get immunity if they get the COVID 19 virus / illness and this gives them immunity if exposed again. They’re still not sure if that is true. Herd immunity means enough people have immunity (such as from a vaccine) to protect the rest. Even in places with heavy exposure (NY City) have only 15% exposed.

Not trying to be a “Debbie Downer” on a sports fan site, but this is the facts. This pandemic is here for awhile. The NFL will have to use imagination and safety to get us regular season games. The pandemic is not going to just disappear like politicians hope will happen. I predict they’ll start with #1 above (no fans in stadium) then maybe move to #2 (limited fans) if the first trial works. I still think we’ll have regular season games!

Good news - we might be SPARED the PRE-SEASON games! I think teams will practice in closed off fields, no fans, and EVERYONE being isolated, like by using college dorms, all the time. Everyone at practices - players, coaches, etc will tested once a week for COVID 19.

We can have an NFL season, if they do it right. Just no stadiums full of fans.

There is no way MLB can afford it's salaries without the fans packing the seats, they have actually even said this. College football as well. TV Money is good but you still need the ticket sales and without fans how do you really think those games would play out? Players will not be motivated at all. Many states are slowly opening back up, you can't just shut shit down for 2 years.. Can't live in fear either, the numbers are much lower than they predicted.

The biggest problem to any solution spoke of above, will be the governors who flat out refuse to open back up. Michigan just punished the people further by extending the lock down another month. It's almost like the meme about the principal from the breakfast club punishing Bender for talking back. If people speak up about their liberties, etc., being suspended, the governors punish them by taking even more stuff away. I don't see that ending anytime soon without the Feds getting involved, and any legality of that.

There will be some states that the Governor will not allow NFL play, or even limited seating for fans.

I wonder if the NFL is considering like MLB right now, at least beginning their season in "safe" states where they have a place to play and approval from the governor(s).

There is also hanging over everyones head the issue of if the USA goes back into lockdown in the fall when the 2nd wave of Corona Virus hits. If that's the case, then there is no way, IMO that the NFL or any other sport for that matter having a season.

I know i don't' know you personally, but you come off like a good dude, a good person. That being said there is no way you can look at what is happening in Michigan and say that those people aren't being punished. Either you are uninformed or maybe you are in disbelief.

Michigan's state constitution says that the governor has to obtain approval from state lawmakers regarding states of emergency and things of that nature. When they were not willing to grant her another 30 days of the stay at home orders, she cited an obscure state law from 1945 that gave the Governor absolute power that cannot be challenged by anyone. Michigan is under siege now, even as a left-centered Democrat i am saying she has gone too far and needs stopped. The Federal Government needs to get involved now.
