These people need to stop whining and face the fact that the NFL is going to do the health test on this and that the season isn't cancelled, just delayed to the spring.
Spring football has two very large disadvantages to players.
First is that spring football followed by the next season starting as usual leaves them significantly less time to heal up from a season, which is very important for their performance and probability of injury in the subsequent season.
Second is that NFL drafts are in the spring. Players wanting to go into the 2021 draft will need to skip the 2020 season. There are Michigan players, for example, who forwent the 2020 draft in order to play the 2020 season, to get better and to show their progress prior to the draft. Now, they can't do that and instead lost an entire year.
It's their life. They should get to determine such things for themselves.
The schools that do play, if they don't back down, will have out of control infections, period.
There are parents (including some who are doctors who treat SARS-2 patients) who feel that players are less likely to get SARS-2 playing football, where things are better controlled than for the general population.
What's your over/under on how many coaches and refs die from Covid at the schools that do play fall football?
Because of the above (football potentially being safer from infection than typical people's lives), I don't think that the number of coaches and refs to die from covid because they are involved in football would be a lot greater than the number of coaches and refs to die from covid who are not involved in football. I think that the number of them dying from covid would not be much greater than the average for people overall in their age range.
