No, because NFL owners are the greediest mofos on this planet. They will happily put their players at risk to keep their profits up.
And since NFL players are all young, healthy and in great physical shape, and have access to top notch healthcare if necessary, their risk of actually dying from covid is miniscule.


if this mentality is followed i'd bet a coach or some personnel dies before the end of the season.

Yup, I didnt say it was a great idea or anything. The truth, however, is that most coaches and every single staffer are relatively easy to replace. It's the players who are the real assets, everyone else is expendable. But the players will be fine, so I would assume the owners to not give a fuck...

yeah didnt mean to sound like u endorsed it.

with 53 man rosters and 20 or so reserve players, and 32 teams, that's approx 2336 active NFL players.

my guess is 1-5 will die from Covid. there was a time when 1 or so people would die just from training camp, usually lineman due to heat exhaustion. they're peak athletes for 5-10 second plays, but their lungs still aren't all iron.

True, lots of the linemen are massively overweight, sometimes bordering on fat. And let's not kid ourselves, lots of NFL players are taking all sorts of fancy ""vitamines""... I'm not sure if this might cause complications with covid.

add in rampant pot use, vaping, preexisting conditions, etc. there will be deaths and hospitalizations that shock the fanbase.

Predominantly black men, meaning good odds of vitamin D deficiency. I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

It's true:

A high percentage of American blacks have suboptimal blood levels of 25(OH)D and levels that are well below those of American whites.

Quote
Physicians at the Complete Med Care clinic in Dallas, Texas, have conducted a study showing that the prevalence of severe vitamin D deficiency is strongly correlated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mortality rate in European countries.

The researchers say the correlation also strengthened over time, making it even less likely to be a random effect.
