If there is a season I guess the home field advantage goes out the window.

I see the players qualifying for full salary and then making huge stink to not show up yet want full season pay.

If a player takes a knee in the forest, did he really take a knee?

Allow people to conglomerate in masses or singularly with less chance of contracting.


PLUS another way for BIG Pharma to cash in

there won't be a vaccine till end of year most likely. even then it has to be manufactured and distributed. getting everyone inoculated will be crazy in and of itself

I was just leaving the door open in case someone got lucky,............. I'm talking in the vaccine department................................................. But then again they could be NON-vaccine departmental peoples and still get lucky in the vaccine department's building. Take a pick.

i get it. even if there is a vaccine or treatment announced today that is 100% effective, there is still a supply chain and delivery to consider. My guess is whatever vaccine comes to market will take a year before most people are inoculated. Hell, will put my tin foil hat on and say that the rich and government elite will get inoculated before it is actually announced, much less given, to yokel football fans like us.

That makes sense, since they will own the cash flow from it anyway.

They will be televised. It's not performance keeping the crowd away, it's a pandemic.

In the German Soccer league, Bundesliga, they pump in crowd noise. The songs are going the whole time, and the AV crew does a great job of putting in whistles (a boo in europe) for plays against their teams, and Cheers for big plays and goals. It's really cool how they get it to work.
