Starting to think NFL season not feasible

There is no baseball or restart of the NBA since Covid 19. NFL is a major operation & need to be very careful here. IMO I don't see a full season of football being played for 2020.

The best thing the league has on their side right now is time.

Exactly. They have time. MLB would have restarted sooner if it wasn't for their disagreements on how the players were to be paid and how many games were to be played. "Spring training" is to begin July 1st with the "regular" season starting July 26th, I believe. The NBA is targeting July 30th as their start date.

Saw on tv this morning that the 16 of the 302 NBA players tested for the coronavirus ahead of the league's return to play have tested positive.

Damn.

There's probably people you know that would test positive but have no idea because they are asymptomatic. No telling how many had it and never knew. You would think they would also test everyone for antibodies to determine which ones are likely to now be immune and not subject to being a carrier.
