Saints don’t yet have permission to play in NO Sunday

[JagFan 97]

Saints officials are talking to the Louisiana state government to secure permission to play Sunday in New Orleans against the Bucs. 

Playing through a pandemic means NFL teams will have to navigate local and state policies designed to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said phase two of the city's COVID-19 plan does not allow football; Cantrell's top medical advisor said the Saints have applied to play their Week 1 game this Sunday. One would think this would be squared away, but one would be wrong. It's a situation to monitor headed into the weekend.

It's a conspiracy to give Kamara time to get healthy....

I would think worst case scenario would be that they swap home games with Tampa.

Would suck to own Saints players if they have to play the whole season on the road.

I’m sure Jackson State in Jackson, Ms will let them play there.

So...

One of the most violent cities in the USA, in the midst of a string of shootings, and she's worried about keeping the Saints from playing?

Get what you vote for

Stupid.  We have to stop treating this virus like its Ebola 2.0 or whatever.  Huge majority recover just fine.  Lets calm down the hysterics a bit, shall we?  Just let them play and get some fans in there too.  This is getting dumber and dumber with the restrictions.  Are they really dong anything?
