Why even attempt to play?
It’s clear, despite the usual idiots who say everything is fine, that COVID19 is still a pandemic in America and there’s no sign that there will ever be a serious nationwide effort, like seen in other countries, to do anything to stop the spread. It’s been documented that gathering in groups is how COVID19 is spread to many people. If singing in a church choir, which has already been proved, is a dangerous and senseless act, then it’s a no-brainer that playing football is dangerous. Expelling vast clouds of vaporized droplets and copious amounts of respiratory effluent is standard fare while playing football. Just one infected person can infect everyone on the field, offense and defense, in a single play! It’s very different than baseball, an individual game. It’s also very different from basketball simply because the numbers are much, much greater.
I love watching football, but I also am cognizant of the fact that playing football during a pandemic that kills people, and not just older ones, is not justified to make fans happy. I’ll still live without football, but are you willing to accept the death of even one person because you’re too selfish to do without football until the pandemic is under control?
Only a moron would say COVID19 is under control, and I’m not a moron.
