We can't even gather outside? Why would that be any safer than being inside the stadium? You wanna have a shot out of the Pinto Kenny bowling ball after 100 other people? Bills tailgates aren't exactly a social-distanced event. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StHustle Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Yep, it's now OFFICIAL. No fans at New Era this year. Which means the NFL must ban fans at ALL stadiums. Would be unfair if teams in certain states could have their fans attend home games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Gather outside? Have you been to a bills game? At any given time there are 400 million people in every bathroom. And 405 million people in line for beer. With half of each screaming “hey-a-hey-a.” Now mind you, I live in Hoboken, so more sensitive to it, and I appreciate the fact that WNY is basically the Midwest and should not be held to the same restrictions as NYC. But the argument that’s it’s “gathering outside” is ridiculous. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had to bet, though, you wouldn't probably bet against this continuing moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect that they will have the potential to change this week by week, or even month by month. I hope the Bills are forced to refund me for the preseason games, and i can start going in either september or october. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonbus23 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 18 minutes ago, Chaos said: Actual N.Y. state is the root cause of the nations COVID -19 problems Actually, the root cause is free market capitalism which allows for unregulated wet markets for the sake of profits because we can't have regulations on business, right? We can't regulate the market for health and safety? Right? Isn't it the right of Chinese business owners to be able to sell their goods without govt interference? Right? That's the root cause. But we can't expect Americans to have a sense of political, economic, environmental or historical context. That would be asking too much of Americans. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) As much as I want there to be a 2020 NFL season...if it means endangering athletes and coaches by pushing them out onto the field in the midst of a deadly pandemic in the name of the almighty dollar, I'd rather they just cancelled the season. It's bad enough that the NFL pretends to care about the health and safety of its players while constantly engaging in actions that put them in greater danger (Thursday night games, adding a 17th game to the season), but to now potentially stage a season in the midst of massive nationwide spikes in COVID numbers (and don't forget, the second wave that may be yet to come, despite the fact that we haven't even exited the first wave yet)? I just don't see how they can do it safely. I hope, hope, hope I'm wrong. But when it's all said and done, I don't need 1,600 athletes and 32 coaching staffs full of people to put their lives and their families' lives in danger for my entertainment. Life, health, and safety are more important than sports. Edited July 2, 2020 by Logic 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
