I think it will get worse before it gets better. They are now seeing it hit the college ranks too. Nick Saban, the head football coach at Alabama and 20 Florida players tested positive.

The NFL just needs to admit that their protocols are not working. The only way they’re going to be able to finish the season on time is to bubble everyone

And the NFL needs to take a stand and prohibit fans even if the state allows it

So AJ Terrell wasn't an isolated incident that was handled easily?

I'm shocked.

It's an infectious disease.

The #Falcons’ one confirmed new positive COVID-19 test today is not a player, per source. Team working remotely today as a precaution.

So that’s one player and one personnel positive this week for Atlanta. Remember, the #Titans


had a coach get a positive result Sunday, and still played Tuesday. The NFL evaluates these situations on a case by case basis

It was a #Falcons assistant coach who was confirmed positive for COVID-19 this morning, per source. The team had the option to return to the facility this afternoon, but decided to operate virtually all day as a precaution. Plan is back tomorrow, barring further issues.

I dont think a small amount of fans matters in any way. the players and fans enter from different areas. There is zero contact and a distance of 50 yards always.

Except for when the fans are players and staff family members who live with them at the end of the day.

Yes, I'm talking about a comment of not allowing any fans in the stands.

More people, more chance for some contact - whether cleaning crew, grounds crew, stadium personnel, etc.

The cleaning crew is not coming in contact with team employees. the stands and the field are totally seperate.
