The NFL and the COVID-19 issue

This 2021 season, the topic of COVID-19 on the grids has been one of the topics on the table for several teams. Many players have missed multiple matches for testing positive for the virus and has not stopped from week 1 to date 14.

Players like Antonio Brown misled the NFL with false vaccination certificates, others like Aaron Rodgers have criticized vaccination and have suffered fines for some irregularities in the franchises. The Browns are the last affected with several positives.

Without a doubt, the NFL has tried to do everything in its power to find a good path between all the players and their health, but it has not been able to make it come to fruition. Fortunately, the subject has not gotten out of hand, but it may be a time bomb.

NBA and its fight against the virus

Like the NFL, basketball has not rested among players who have tested positive for COVID-19 on different NBA teams. Week to week, new positives appear and hurt league logistics and matches.

NBA, NHL and even the NFL have thought about rethinking the anti-COVID-19 protocols of their respective leagues and it would be a good thing, because so far and taking stock, things have not been as successful as expected at the beginning of the season.
