| During a conference call with reporters held on Tuesday, NFL general counsel Jeff Pash said the league is planning for a full season. “That’s my expectation,” Pash said. “Am I certain? I’m not certain I will be here tomorrow. But I’m planning on it, and I’m planning on a full season.” Pash separately said that the season would begin on time, and that the games would be played before fans in full stadiums (or, in some cities, stadiums that would not be full unrelated to the virus). He nevertheless acknowledged that much will depend on the public-health situation. But he mentioned that the modeling the league has received suggests that “we may not have to get very far down that road.” |
there's reports that coaches and front office execs think it will be impossible the season will start on time with the way things are going

People/journalists are asking questions. This is what corporations and businesses do. Walt Disney World is now promoting bookings for displaced reservations last month and April for June 1st.
Why?
i am talking about the people projecting doomsday and there will be no sports or anything until next year
That said I do think a gradual rollout of a functioning economy is going to happen sooner than September.
The thing people dont seem to grasp is that this isn't Ebola. The purpose of the shutdown is to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed. Once we're over the curve things should gradually get back to normal. They aren't going to keep the economy tanked for a year.

That seems reckless. What the nfl is doing is fine in my book.
You can play Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter.
They should plan to postpone and align with NCAA
The trouble is, until there's a vaccine and/or an effective treatment, either or both cheap and widely available, it's going to be very hard to get people to gather in crowds. Especially large, crowded stadiums with congested corridors, concession lines and restrooms. Yeah, some people will risk their lives to see an NFL game, maybe enough to fill a stadium. And by then a lot of people will have had the virus and recovered, and so should be safe from reinfection. But it's going to be very hard to make NFL football work in September.
The league has to plan as if it's happening, and maybe it will, but probably not.
Saw that Johnson & Johnson is making progress on a vaccine and expects it to be available in "early 2021." I don't know what "early 2021 means -- January? March? And I don't know what "available" means: Mass production? Hundreds of millions of doses? Or limited availability for medical professionals and the most vulnerable, gradually expanding for months? But that is the most optimistic timetable I've heard of.

you mean the same Johnson and Johnson who has a class action law suit against them for their cancer causing talcum "baby" powder....oh isn't that convenient for them.
