Our country has failed miserably as far as Covid is concerned.

You know, I didn't think that football was important until a friend committed suicide who I never would have expected to do something like that. The isolation is hard on people psychologically, and football is a much needed outlet for people. I will even go so far as to say that football would save several lives. I don't think the season is going to happen, but it would be great for collective morale if it did.

I do agree, look no further than Katrina. The difference here is that we are dealing with a contagious virus where crowds could wind up causing more isolation in the long run. Don’t get me wrong, I want the season to go on but I just don’t see it without some sort of disruption.
Sorry to hear about your friend.
