- The National Football League has time on its side as the sports world prepares to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and will use some it to observe German soccer’s Bundesliga as a potential blueprint on how to deal with the outbreak.
The NFL, which is due to kick off on Sept. 10 and has not yet seen its schedule affected by the novel coronavirus, is paying close attention to protocols other leagues, particularly the Bundesliga, are putting in place in a bid to restart play, according to a report in Newsday. “We’ve been in contact with all domestic leagues, but also sports organizations around the world,” Brian McCarthy, the NFL’s vice president of communications, told Newsday.“We’re all in the sports business, but every sport has its own matters to attend to.”All teams have had to go into a seven-day training camp in complete isolation with players tested before their inclusion in the camps to reduce the risk of any infection.
The NFL unveiled its 2020 schedule on Thursday with the expectation of playing games with fans in the stadiums but is approaching the season with some caution.

Yet despite this, I have been roused from my Friday nap to offer a simple correction about her divorce. Perhaps this isn’t clear to sportswriters, even those at Deadspin, but let me make this simple: Playing in the NFL does not make one a god. It is not an avenue to sainthood, nor is it akin to service in the military. And besides, there’s nothing more boring, or foolish, than watching men call Cutler’s now ex-wife a shrieking harpy while prostrating themselves before their football god. Do his boots really taste that good?\n
