As the 2020 NFL Season was preparing to start with training camp, there was a major concern of the possibility of a COVID-19 outbreak occurring in a team facility. With some places in the United States going back into lockdown due to COVID-19 as well as other states imposing travel restrictions and guidelines, many NFL players voiced their opinions about the situation. So, the NFL and the NFLPA agreed back on July 24 that players who feel uncomfortable about playing during the 2020 season can could opt out of the season. The deadline for that was August 6 at 4 P.M. EST. The opt out deadline came and past as 66 NFL Players opted out for 2020 season. Some did due to medical issues while others did it due to personal reasons (i.e. mostly dealing with family). But the most surprising thing to come out of this was that out of all the 32 NFL teams, the New England Patriots had the most players opting out of the season with 8. Mark Colley

Can someone tell me why, after months of mocking President Trump’s faith, is former Vice President Joe Biden simply aghast when the President hits back? Maybe he doesn’t remember doing it, just like he didn't remember taking multiple cognitive tests so it’s possible. Either that or he lied. Pat Sullivan
