Usually around this time of year, one could find me shopping for fall decorations, fall outfits, fall snacks and New Orleans Saints swag to prepare for the upcoming NFL season!
Although, this year looks a bit different. Honestly, I have yet to think about how my favorite team will do this year.
Especially considering it’s Drew Brees’s last season!
Nonetheless, I’m in a constant effort not to let extenuating circumstances get me down. I’m confident that I will still throw socially-distanced and masked football parties with 10 or less of my closest friends!
Other people are opting to view their football in restaurants since many stadiums are not allowing fans to watch the games.
Despite restaurants seeming like a decent alternative, social distancing restrictions will still be enforced, allowing for about half the usual gameday capacity.
The official NFL season began yesterday, September 10th with Kansas City hosting Houston and winning 34-20.
So far so good, I’m curious to where the rest of the NFL season will take us. The NBA has set a leading example for what safe gameplay looks like, and I’m hopeful that other professional sports leagues will follow.
Holding these events in the middle of a pandemic seems a bit risky in my opinion, but give the people what they want, I suppose.
