One week ago the NFL had 95 positive cases of coronavirus -- expect more cases to arise in the coming days -- and more infections to occur as the opening of camps continue.
I have ranted about this before on here and about other sports in general - it is an absolute mistake and just selfish for sports to come back in ANY capacity while the country and world are still dealing with a pandemic.
We all know about the protocols and procedures that MUST be followed in order to reduce the chances of infections or worse. The fact is, sports will have a tougher, if not impossible time following these protocols and procedures as they get going again. Furthermore, a lot of players are obviously more interested in playing and chasing the money as opposed to keeping themselves and those around them safe. We have already seen careless behavior from players around sports and the consequences of that within the sport and their families.
This virus is highly contagious and still spreading - and there are STILL MANY unknowns about the nature of it. The experts have said it time and again - following social distancing protocols and good hygiene is one way to MITIGATE the problem but it won't solve it.
Fact is until there is a cure/vaccine, it is simply not safe to go on with life with a "business as usual" mentality, or even anything close to it.
There is simply NO reason for the NFL nor any other sport to play until it is deemed FULLY safe to do so.
That being said, I will still watch games as I have been watching every other sport I enjoy - but it has been disappointing how they've ALL PREMATURELY returned to play and seeing the obvious negative effect this ongoing pandemic has had on their premature returns. It is unfortunate that the NFL, like every other league -- is willing to sacrifice the virus spreading throughout their leagues before even considering calling off their seasons for the sake of chasing the money.
We need to be better than this.
With that, I wish you all well. Stay safe. Mask the fuck up!
FINS UP!
