Re: Do you see a 2020 season happening?
My prediction.... I think it's gonna start late, in the fall, Octoberish, I think it will be a 12 game season like in the very old old NFL days, and then playoffs and Super Bowl as normal happening in 2021.
That is just my take. I don't think things are gonna be back to normal in time for the season to open. And I don't see them playing with empty stadiums because, a big chunk of the money these guys make is in the concessions and booze and the suites and so forth. I will be happy to be wrong but that's what I think is gonna happen. The big silent players in this are the insurance companies -- will they let the league have the games, if there is risk of people getting sick and possibly suing the league, if that happens? I find that doubtful. Insurance companies are all about risk, and that is a BIG risk. They don't like unknowns, in fact they despise them. The other thing to look at, is the big time concert industry. The Stones postponed their tour dates, and they aren't even talking about WHEN they will reschedule...Roger Waters just cancelled his tour, and that was for July and August, in big venues similar to basketball, hockey, and NFL stadiums. So if Roger Waters' management is saying that August is a no go, well that's food for thought about the season starting around Labor Day. Keep an eye on the concert industry, and the insurance industry. As they go, so goes the NFL, I think. |
