The NFL is trying to figure out ways to mitigate the risk of a lawsuit if fans are allowed back into stadiums. In order to do that, the league is considering asking fans to sign a COVID-19 liability waiver if they want to attend games, according to Daniel Kaplan of The Athletic. That proposal is expected to be sent to teams in early July as the league considers its options for reopening amid the coronavirus pandemic. The waiver could be done electronically, according to Kaplan’s report.

Let’s see how many fans there are.Even after the knee taking disgrace died down the each week on twitter a guy posted pictures of fans at stadiums across the country masquerading as empty seats. Give the cost of watching live so you can witness every virtue signal and feel every insult, might be out of reach for a lot of people.

Ha ha. I thought all this virus crap was because we are not supposed to infect other because we care so much. That is why we are told to wear a face bra all the time and stay 6 feet away from humans.

Now we are going to see that it is all about the bucks. LIABILITY.

Because going to see an NFL game to disrespect our country is so important.

From their legal perspective the fan-signed waivers may be necessary.

From someone who has decided to quit watching any sport run by Mr Goodell and the team owners who back him, I really don’t give a dam what they do.

Don’t worry I won’t be attending any games, even though I live in a city with an NFL team....a lousy team but a team nonetheless....

You’d have to pay me to watch those thugs run around the field and dishonor America. A LOT!

They just need to refund the season ticket holders ticket payments. I will not sign a waiver.

There will be no NFL this season. Same thing with College Football and other sports like Basketball.

Yeah and I’m done buying College merch and watching their sports as well, until they start producing America loving citizens. It’s way pastntime for curriculum reform.

No worries. As things currently stand with the NFL, I will take a knee.

Apparently some employees are now suing their employers...who kept them employed throughout all this nonsense...for “exposing them to the virus.”

The lawyers are salivating and revving up the lawsuit machine.

Personally I’ll sign any kind of waiver. Just let me be free again and make my own decisions.

“Waivers” aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.

It’s an act of desperation to protect their darling business model which - for multiple reasons - is disintegrating before their eyes.

Yawn.

Yup. The end of the era for Big Sporta. No need to listen to the many poorly enlightened lecturing us about what we already know.

It isn’t even a question. You will have to agree to hold them harmless, along with every other event in entire civilization probably for the end of time. This isn’t an NFL problem or a Trump rally problem.
Biden supporters will need to do the same at his events.
New normal. For a long long time. Put your mask on too.

Will each (white) fan also be required to shine a black person’s shoes to be eligible to watch the game?

Will this waiver apply for games played after the Presidential election as well?
