The CFL has revealed precious little about any plans in its attempt to play football starting in September.
At the top of that list is players contracting COVID-19 from someone in the public or, even more importantly, players giving it to a member of the public. Eliminating travel is another key, since there is real concern about the possibility that someone among each team’s 46 players, 11 coaches and multiple support staff could become infected during transportation or while in a visiting city.The challenges of such a model are obvious. Housing nine football teams in one city, or four in one city and five in another, would be a significant logistical operation.
Yes, you could test every player. But along with the risk of false negatives, allowing players to come and go within the community raises the possibility that one of them could bring the virus to the locker room.
TSNDaveNaylor I agree but for the league to give clarity they would need clarity from federal goverment, provincial goverments
TSNDaveNaylor I absolutely agree with you Dave!
