Here in Europe the soccer season started already,
So I don't see any reason why the nfl should be in jeopardy
But I do expect a season behind closed door, which is a totally different season, u didn't experience that in your country but here in Europe we did and the games aren't the same

If any league that will not suffer? It's the NFL. Goodwill is a dick but he will make em play for the fans. If there is a "no fan" game he can always fill the stadium 6feet apart and at least have the seats 1/4 full.

I could see no TC and limited preseason (2 games in Aug) and normal Sept start date. The way people are disregarding social distancing guidelines now, I feel they’ll be non existent in three months anyway.

The NFL announced guidelines in place, but the NFLPA said they haven't agreed to them, yet. So until they are all on the same page, everything is still in doubt. I can see there being a glorified inter-squad scrimmage and maybe 1 kinda normal preseason game in mid-august, with a 2 week break, just to see how players and covid reacts. Then they start the season, if all goes well.

One thing they could also do is have a unified practice squad for this season, that the entire league could pull from, in case a roster gets decimated on short notice. The XFL actually had a complete 9th team ready to go, if needed.

At this point I don't see baseball in 2020. There's a Grand Canyon divide between the players and owners.

The NFLPA will agree, there alternative is having their Lambo's and Mansions foreclosed on.

For every 1 Gronk, There are 500 Marino's, Kosars and Sapps.

Will the spike in AZ result in more restrictive practice protocols for the Cardinals?

(We only get AZ headlines back East.

No idea...I'm in Orange County. If you can, find John Harbaughs comments from yesterday in an interview....his concerns are very valid, regarding the rigidness of the guidelines and how, if a team doesn't follow them, they can have a huge advantage over teams that do.

Are guys going to shower one at a time all day?" Harbaugh said, according to a story on the Ravens' official website. "Are guys going to lift weights one at a time all day? These are things the league and the [NFLPA] needs to get a handle on and needs to get agreed with some common sense so we can operate in the 13-hour day in training camp that they're giving us and get our work done.
