Season over before it starts

I can quite possibly see the 2020 NFL season continue ... but without fans . The LaLiga (top professional Spanish soccer league) does it now. Kind of weird seeing that at the top level of European football however there are plans to bring back the fans (possibly at towards the end of the year) at some point with restrictions of course.

Yes. People keep mentioning the loss of $3 billion in revenue if there are no fans in the seats, but they fail to mention the other $8 billion in lost revenue if the season isn't played at all. I just cannot envision owners ignoring $8 billion in revenue or players ignoring their portion, as well.
