FRT Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Does anyone think players are going to quarantine during the season? What are the teams going to do, lock the players up in a hotel for 17 weeks? Not going to happen. Rats are the fringe benefit many of these guys can't do without. What is a team going to do if 10 players get this and are out 4 weeks? Anything less that a vaccine kills this season. This doesn't even take into consideration fans at games. Teams are going to lose millions this year if they don't play but It is going to cost them millions more without a vaccine and they do play with fans in the stands. Good chance the Kevin Bacon's law gets pulled out by the law firms. Liability could be astronomical. I know the corporation I work for is being so careful telling the field staff to use your best judgment about travel but make sure you hit your numbers. Classic CYA. Without a vaccine I see no way any sport plays and certainly no fans. Edit: Crazy alternative with huge liability is give all the players the Covid now and quarantine them the next 5 weeks hoping they are immune going forward. No science to back this up right now though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be not be able to play. Imagine some of our key players not being able to play because of C19. That's going to suck. Conversely, the other teams we face will have the same issue so we could get really lucky. Key players will routinely become unavailable for 2-3 weeks at a time. Teams will need to have 2 NFL starting quality QBs and a couple of others on speed dial. I really still fail to see how the league plans to pull this season off. Covid numbers are climbing in Texas and a lot of other states. Last night they showed the Covid curve for Italy, France, and the US. Italy and France declined steeply after restrictions were implimented while the US merely leveled out. This morning's Tennessean front page says that a new report from Vanderbilt says Tennessee hospitals have hit their highest levels of Covid patients since the pandemic began. Our governor explains it by saying they are doing more testing but more testing doesn't explain more hospitalizations. This shit isn't going away anytime soon.

If not then some team will have 2 jettison a bunch of players. The titans wont but it could get messy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1TitansFan Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 It could all be avoided if we had leadership willing to lead by example instead of pandering to a population who believe in conspiracy theories instead of science. We've seen country after country show the way to recover from this. Birmingham, whose hospitals are at capacity just refused to pass an ordinance to require mask wearing.

And as an aside most of the states with the rapid rise in cases ignored guidelines/reopened too quickly. I will say this though, the governors (regardless of party) who took this seriously and issued mandates and restrictions deserve praise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction: after their hospitals are overrun and they have to lock down again, they will accept the reality that wearing masks is much better than the alternatives. This could just be another 1-3 months away at this point. Reality is a harsh mistress, and right now she is on the warpath... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Don’t see it happening. MLB guys won’t play nba guys don’t wanna play. NFL guys will follow the same path, I doubt we see sports for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA has had some of the tightest restrictions and the cases continue to rise. We were pretty far behind most states for testing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
