think about how many people it takes to execute a professional football game.
Even without fans, it is still hundreds of people each game.

Widespread testing before and after games will solve this problem.

Basically for this to work, all players, refs, coaches, production teams, etc have to exist in isolation for the entire season in order to minimize their exposure to people.

Again. Widespread testing solves this problem

NFL and networks will need to charter private planes exclusively while losing a significant chunk of profits due to lack of gate. Media access has to be heavily watered down and restricted as well.
|
Most teams have private planes. Easy for a billionaire to rent one if needed as well as a cleaning crew.
Quote:
God forbid a production crew flies commercial, contracts it, gives it to someone and then it gets to a player or coach. Season ends right there.

Nobody is flying commercial dude LMAO
Quote:
Each team has 53 players on their roster. So 106 people already.
Then you have about 15-20 in regards to coaching staff, so another 30-40.
Then you have medical staff, which I dont know the exact number on.
By the time you count refs, chains and down guys, ball guys, production crews, security staff, and so on, you're well over 200 people.
|
Staff will be limited. Example: you don’t need 3 trainers, can bring 2. And again, widespread testing solves this problem.
Quote:
Media and sideline reporters arent essential to the function of the game so they can adapt but again bare minimum, each week you're going to have to have 200+ people traveling to be in close proximity with each other.
Oh and then remember there are 32 teams and 16 will be traveling each week with the exception of bye week teams. This is a logistical nightmare. Not impossible to do right but incredibly expensive and risky
|
Media will have to be virtual. Leave headphones for interviews. Owners likely won’t lose money if hotels aren’t needed due to fly/play same day procedure. Oh and did I mention testing?
Quote:
The college season is even more of a logistical nightmare. To the point that I dont think having a college football season is possible at all.
Pulling off the NFL season is complicated and risky enough. Given the number of teams and college environments, a college season would be a disaster, especially in states where they force students back to classrooms.
I didn't even mention during all of that how many of the head coaches/assistant coaches would be considered in the high risk group, Andy Reid would be dead set in it.

Testing. Widespread. It solves this problem, yeah? That’s what will be key to everything.
