They locked down the country, mandated companies make products, medical, that were outside their norm. They advised us on how best to protect our selves. No, I am not a Trump supporter, and yes, they should have stopped the rhetoric, but what exactly more did you want them to do? We are getting a vaccine in about a year or less for this, which, if you know anything about how the medical works, you would know how incredible that is to have now.
Meanwhile, the NFL has watched how MLB, NBA & NHL have handled this situation and witnessed how unusually contagious, long sitting symptoms this virus has and now, we are learning that some who get it have long lasting, irreparable health issues. Unlike the other sports, football cannot play double headers, cannot play 2 games in 5 days for normal health reasons.
Now you add in this virus, and without the work outs a body needs to not only get in game shape, but to train the muscles, tendons etc you want them now to skip practices and play a Tusday night game and follow up with a Sunday game?
The quality of play this year is terrible so far, it may improve as the season goes on, and as we are seeing, these pro athletes, are not sticking with the guidlines you & I are expected to follow, nor are they sticking with the guidelines the league has mandated. What is the league doing about it? Nothing, yet.
