He accurately pointed out how for four quarters every week, players are in close contact with one another against an opposing team, which isn't ideal for limiting the spread.There's evidence to suggest which kind of COVID-19 approaches in profe sional sports do work -- the NBA and NHL's bubbles, for example, pretty much went off as perfectly as one could have expected -- and which ones don't (see: MLB). The NFL is trying the latter, without bubbles, and has been paying the price for it with frantic schedule changes due to positive tests and star players not being allowed to play.Couple that with the weird theatrics employed, like the before practice or the to clean their stadium after games, and Rodgers's questions start to make more sense."Some of it is definitely for the optics of it. Some of it is probably based on science... but it's definitely changed the season for sure," he said.You can watch the entire clip down below."I just think there's some double standards...
