No one cares about the hall of fame game other than as an excuse to have dumb sideline interviews with the inductees of that year, but to be fair this kind of understates the case. I mean it's a true statement, but it also made the field completely unsafe and unplayable even if you didn't care about safety.

Right but the point is they didn't try to reschedule it or anything. It's completely expendable. I think most people predicting that the season will start on time believed that the preseason would either be truncated or completely scratched.

If we hit Anthony Fauci's 100,000-person a day sweepstakes you won't have to cancel football because no one's going to play

Goon lawyers, how ironclad can that NFL waiver for attendees hold up if they get the COVID-19?

But those usually fall apart pretty quickly as waivers don't cover gross negligence and intentionally putting people in dangerous situations (again usually). It's just most people: A) would never sign something like that B) if they did, are probably too dumb to go the legal route because they think it's legit.

It's just most people: googling around it seems like they could just put it on the back of the ticket. eg: quote:He has said he had no chance against the ball, which he couldn’t even see coming toward him because of other fans’ open umbrellas around him during the rainy match-up.

hifi posted:googling around it seems like they could just put it on the back of the ticket. eg: Is that not a bit different though? As that's an "occupational" hazard of attending a baseball game in comparison to this which has nothing to do with the sport itself. Again though, I'm not a lawyer and might be pulling this totally out my arse. The only reason I think it wouldn't stand is there was a WWF storyline for WrestleMania X7 where Chyna supposedly signed a waiver absolving the Fed if she got hurt or worse. Some YouTube guys who were reviewing it asked a lawyer if that was legit and he basically said "if the company knows the risk and is intentionally putting people in harm's way, then waivers mean gently caress all." Because there is apparently a legal difference between a lot of this stuff. CyberPingu fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Jul 2, 2020 |

I guess it would be like the NFL trying to say they're not liable for a spectator's death of a game was held in the middle of a hurricane. God, the NFL is so stupid. The NBA's hope for finishing the season in a bubble is already showing signs of strain. IIRC the Brooklyn Nets might not have enough players to field a team if a couple more players test positive.

I don't think we are going to get football, really. I doubt the Player's Union will put up with it when push comes to shove. It will take at most one team falling apart because of a COVID infection in the locker room. Basketball is already teetering on the edge. There's a universe where football looked likely, but it involved red states not treating COVID as a hoax at Trump's invitation. As it is Tom Brady resting a season will probably allow him to play til he's 50 now. That said, as a hedge, if we do get football it will be a colossally stupid idea that will end in disaster.

Cam will suck & get injured again within the first 5 games, then Garrett Sydham will take the Patriots to a .50 record.

So we're starting on time, albeit without preseason games. So we've got that going for us, which is nice.
