COVID-19: public opinion on playing the NFL season 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic that spread across the world in 2020 was not only a big threat to public health, but also to the entire sports industry. Several professional sports leagues, including the NBA and NFL, as well as most professional soccer leagues in Europe, took the decision to postpone or suspend their seasons in order to mitigate the spread of the disease. During an August 2020 survey in the United States, some 23 percent of respondents stated that NFL season should be canceled in light of the pandemic.
