Funny you posted this, I had a discussion with someone else earlier and I don't see how they can fix this by September unless the government throws up their hands and gives up and accepts this as a new cyclical disease...which given what it's been doing, would be a nightmare.
So, let's summarize. Players and staff would be tested daily. No one would be allowed out of the playing facility before testing negative. There would be no fans in the stands. I think that this is very possible. And BTW, notice that this is possible even WITHOUT any treatment. What is required is accurate tests.
Obviously, players are not forced to play, and forced to be paid for their labor.
That would be a league-wide issue since every player would be affected, but it's a good question and it would certainly be disappointing to see these guys lose an entire year of their youth over thisSo a related question - does Tampa Bay keep Brady around for 2021 if they do end up cancelling 2020? It's risky bringing in a 44 year old without seeing what he could do at age 43. However, I think there is a 25M cap hit if they cut him, so my guess would be yes.
It's not the players I worry about, I just don't see how you can have 70,000 fans in 16 stadiums each weekend and make that work. So if they'll be willing to play in front of nobody, then I guess it's possible. But if not, I just don't see how this gets solved by then. It's just crazy.
You being unclear isn't the same as me not being able to read. So I'll apologize for being unable to read, which should cancel out you thinking you were unclearI apologize for being unclear. I think that the games should be played without fans, and that having such games would be a great service to the country. However, I don't think that this should happen unless the players can be properly tested before and after the game.
at his age, you can't just take an entire year off. he could work out till he's blue in the face. but its not game shape. it wouldn't surprise me if he retires if this year is lost.So a related question - does Tampa Bay keep Brady around for 2021 if they do end up cancelling 2020?
