I wish this was uniform across the NFL. The Packers are going to send a questionnaire to season ticket holders giving them the option to opt out and receive a refund or credit for next season. They also said that masks would be required as well as social distancing. I’ve already asked the Colts about opting out and I would do it right now if they’d let me. They haven’t given me a clear answer about what they are going to do. The NFL has already said they were going to tarp off the first 6-8 rows of seats in all stadiums.

I believe the NFL is looking into masks for all players.

Asymptomatic people are leading the spread. This disease doesn’t care what the NFL expects. If players and fans are put in close proximity, there will be spread. A player can test negative in the morning and positive in the evening. The WHO made that statement last month but they also clarified that statement. No one can even red say for sure what asymptomatic really means. You can also be presymptomatic and spread it as well.

It’s gonna be tough. Read the steps the NBA is taking to keep the virus out of the bubble. People in the bubble are gonna still catch it. Will a team have to forfeit if one person on the offense tests positive and the entire offense has to go into quarantine for 2 weeks?

They may start the season but I doubt they finish it. I’m already trying to get a refund on my season tickets because I’m in the high risk group. Indiana has at least been opening up more slowly than other states but there has been an uptick here causing Marion County to pause its next reopening stage. The governor has introduced a stage 4.5 instead of going to stage 5 but even he has based his reopening phases with an endpoint of having fans for the Indy 500 in August and having fans in Lucas Oil.

It’s unrealistic to think that out of over 1700 players they would be able to keep covid out of the NFL. Some players have it right now. Von Miller says he still hasn’t 100% recovered. Then there’s trying to fill up 70,000 plus seat stadiums with fans. There’s bound to be several fans in the stands with covid. Are they going to require a waiver for the fans and the players? The NFL has some tough questions to answer but they do have time on their side at least. I’m a season ticket holder and I don’t want to go to a single game this year. I’m in the high risk group because I have a nonfunctioning pituitary. I’ve been trying to wait to see what was going to happen with fans but I think I’m just gonna go ahead and email my ticket rep with a note from my doctor. I’m sure there are many fans like me who probably shouldn’t be packed into a stadium.

I can’t imagine the NFLPA would go for that. How many players would be willing to sequester themselves away from wives, children, family and friends for about 6 months or longer? I’m sure some will but many won’t.

From all family and friends for an entire 17 week season?

So 1700 players are gonna be basically quarantined for 17 weeks? The NBA is basically going into a bunker to finish it’s season.

I wish they were both away games.

Can I have my season ticket money back now?

Will there even be any fans? The NBA has said they are preparing for games without fans through next season. They are also look at one or two sites to resume play this season. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29152271/adam-silver-preps-players-possibility-no-fans-next-season

One lopsided rivalry.

Might as well since we’re carrying $40M+ in QBs. What’s another $5M in kickers?

A lot of money for the QB position.
