Hall of Fame Game Cancelled

[MDNolefan77]

Not good news. Hopefully it is just that game that gets cancelled but I am personally getting more discouraged that there will be an NFL or College football season this year.

This is the first truly negative in the pro sports world that may signal bad news to our college football season. In other words, the OP wasn’t really concerned with the NFL and our views of it. Cancelling a game today that is more than 6 weeks in the future, and two weeks after college football practices are supposed to start, is a damning fact. Let’s hope that MLB truly starts camp on July 1 and the NBA has success in July as well.

That's only 3 weeks before the first college games and NFL Games are being cancelled...pretty obvious at this point even if games are played which looks less likely by the day they will be played in front of empty stands

The NBA arrives in Orlando in about ten days. They will have daily tests, lots of quarantining when they arrive and various other constant health tests. If they and MLB are successful in July, there is still hope for a season. Fans are another thing, although there will be fans at MLB.

There's not going to be a season.

Hall of Fame game being cancelled because of coronavirus concerns or because the teams have not been able to adequately train to be ready for it? It's always very early and is terrible terrible football on a field that arguably should not even be played on.

Coronavirus concerns, teams were not supposed to report to camp until 7/28. Can't argue with you about the quality of the football game.

Yea they would not be able to play anyhow. One week turnaround ain't happening.

That's always when they report to camp before the HOF game. Which is part of the reason the quality of the football is so bad.

Ahh okay. I thought they were in camp 2-3 weeks or so. Well I guess some of them are like the rookies.

NFL insiders have predicted this for weeks. There will be more cancellations related to preseason. I don’t think this impacts anything else such as college football at this time. The owners have a call this afternoon. Let’s see what comes out of the call.

Guys, I think we need to be prepared not to have college football season. I HOPE I am wrong.

With the way Americans are treating this entire virus situation, expect a lot of things to get cancelled between now and Spring 2021. I'm not even convinced MLB will start on time in April.

The sad thing is in Europe there are multiple soccer leagues currently playing with little to no issues. Yet here in the US we already have a lot of positive tests at facilities which aren't even 100% open yet.
