Exactly. There is a reason the at-home tests aren't accepted for concerts, theme parks and airlines. They aren't that reliable.
They have been tested to be 90% accurate. No test is 100% perfect. That is why people are often tested over and over before they can resume professional sports and other things. I had a false negative when I had strong covid symptoms. Tested positive a couple days later.
If someone has covid and simply tries to get a fake negative with a at home test, they could do that. Or they simply do not do it correctly they could get a false negative. I imagine that is why they are not accepted everywhere. Concerts and airlines trust health care professionals doing testing not people at home who may have an agenda.
But these tests are widely distributed for free across Europe. Biden is suppose to announce that free tests are going to be sent to everyone in about a month. Way too late for Omicron.
Blame Biden. Not the tests.

The season should frankly be cancelled. It should have BEEN cancelled. You have 53 players on each side, plus coaching staff, trainers, medical staff, dozens of media, referees, towel boys, gatorade boys, and cheerleaders.
That is too many people in a confined space. I have contacted several local politicians in Seattle, asking for a cancellation for public safety, but to no avail.
Hope the OP gets to enjoy the game. But afterwards I suggest staying away from NFL, NBA, etc. It is extremely weird that grown men spend time and money watching other men who get paid millions, chase a ball. Go do something yourself, be a man.
Well, people spend a lot of money on going to concerts to watch people sing while having drunks trying to sing along with them…

when should it have been cancelled exactly? the first 14 weeks when covid was basically a non issue with games in packed stadiums?
or now that omnicron is spreading quickly with extremely mild symptoms?
I'm sure those seattle politicans will get right on that for you
