NFL doctor responds to Dr. Anthony Fauci's warning that season might not happen
The scheduled start of the 2020 NFL season is still a few months away, but with coronavirus cases spiking in many states nationwide, some officials are questioning whether the NFL will be able to safely execute its plan to have each team playing in its home market as normal.
While the NBA has shifted to a bubble plan, with 22 teams set to gather in Orlando to finish out the regular season and playoffs, the NFL is not currently considering trying to copy the NBA’s model. According to Dr. Anthony Fauci, however, isolating each player in a controlled environment may be the only way to safely play in 2020.
