The NFL continues to do their very best to avoid addressing how COVID-19 might affect the season. Minor adjustments to training camp and preseason games have happened, but even today teams are announcing how many fans might be allowed into the stadiums when time comes.

Is the NFL not going to give the players an option to play or not?
