How do you shorten a season that is already short? There are only 16 games
in a season. It’s not like basketball or baseball, where 100 plus games are played.

What are they going to do, shorten it to 8? They are in week 5 and players
are just getting into shape. The nature of the sport takes time for players to
truly round into form, and they don’t have a lot of time to do so.
In baseball and basketball, they have months to get into form or to get into
a rhythm. Teams in both sports don’t take the season seriously until after the All star break.

Football is just a different beast.

As far as a bubble goes, there are 55 players to a squad, plus equipment personnel, trainers and physios, and the different coaches that are required in order for a football team to operate is overwhelming during a regular season.. That shit would be impossible for a bubble...and we are talking about per team? One football team equates to about 3 or 4 basketball teams.
