Interesting Thoughts on the NFL and COVID-19
This article in The Buffalo News is a great read regardless if you’re a Bills fan or not. Obviously, it is slanted from a Buffalo Bills perspective (since they are in Buffalo).
However, their are some valid points being made in the article. Like this one:
“According to NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills, in the nine weeks since the start of training camps, there have been a number of “isolated, new positive cases of Covid among players and other personnel across nearly two-thirds of NFL clubs and one outbreak among the Tennessee Titans.” The league is investigating the Titans for players reportedly breaking protocols last week by gathering for a practice away from the team facility.
Regardless of the findings, it doesn’t address a much larger issue that proceeding with a season with a somewhat business-as-usual approach during a pandemic is predictably going to bring about infections. There’s hardly a sense, at least from the NFL’s perspective, that the worst is over.”
With Tennessee already having to reschedule a game from last week, it’ll be interesting what happens from here considering the Titans haven’t even been allowed to reopen their facilities yet.
