The fear is understandable.

Having all those young, extremely healthy athletes contract a now much less lethal variant that may give them sniffles for 24 hours is just a risk we cannot take.

We all need to run and hide in our basements for 2 decades to slow the spread.

Or we can go to work every day and out like usual with precautions. Hey let's start with staying home if you are sick and not breathing in my face.

I noticed that the Arizona Cardinals purchased their own team aircraft. Only the 2nd. NFL team to do so, like the Patriots. I wonder why?

Agreed...concerned about Omicron even though we have the shots and boosters (only two shots not very effective with this variant...booster helps a lot)...hitting Europe hard now according to this also and spreading worldwide rapidly.

That's the problem -- people don't stay home.

They know they have COVID and get on planes, participate in social events or business meetings (things like debates even).

And practically NONE of these players are at risk of anything but Cold symptoms or NO symptoms. What a freaking joke the NFL has become.

What do you think this guy would say if he was still around?
Americans play to win all the time! That was then....this is now. Now we are afraid of our own shadows.

That would be fine... if the players were the only ones to worry about. I am more concerned with who these players would come into contact with that are not in as great shape as they are. Andy Reid, for starters. But also support staff at the team facilities and stadiums, refs, photogs on the sidelines, etc. It's not just the players that the NFL is worried about

Real post ^^^^^. Sad.
