Official NFL Football thread for 2021-2022

[Mr Quatro]

I know it's only April, but the NFL draft is this month and the difference between 2020 NFL football and 2021 NFL football should be very interesting.

Starting off with the shocking news that all NFL stadiums will be open to the public.

Perhaps it's healthier and less expensive to stay home again this year.

New Study Finds Covid Spikes After N.F.L. Games With Fans

Last week, Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league hoped to open all its stadiums at full capacity when the season kicks off in September.

“All of us in the N.F.L. want to see every one of our fans back,” Goodell said in a conference call with reporters.

Yet new research submitted to the scientific journal The Lancet in late March suggested that there was a link between the games that had large numbers of fans in the stands and an increase in the number of infections in locales near the stadiums. The study, which is being peer reviewed, is one of the most comprehensive attempts to address the potential impact of fans at N.F.L. games.
