@ Four: If an ongoing pandemic can’t provide people with enough motivation to curb their impulses or break bad habits, nothing will.
I hope the NFL can complete an entire season without a league-wide coronavirus outbreak. The New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans are already dealing with a significant number of infections among their players.
The NBA did a great job with its Orlando “bubble.” Major league baseball has also fared well against the virus, except for the outbreaks on the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals which were effectively managed.
The league needs to move swiftly to stop fights such as the Ramsey-Tate tussle. This is a complete violation of the face mask protocol.
