Over the past couple months there have been no signs that the NFL intends to cancel the 2020 season. Although it was virtual, the NFL Draft occurred at its usual time and the NFL schedule has been released well in advance of the season. Today, multiple teams opened their training facilities. Among them were the Falcons, Texans, Cardinals, Chiefs and Colts. Commissioner Roger Goodell gave a clearance for other teams to open as long as state and local municipalities allow it.
Among players who have voiced their opinions on the NFL returning in the fall, Aaron Rodgers recently stated on WISN-TV that he is “very hopeful that we can have a season,” adding that “sports has always been something that’s brought people together,” and that he wants sports to help alleviate the hardships that the pandemic has brought upon the lives of many Americans.
