Rick Zamperin: Postponing season will further fuel CFL-XFL merger talk

COVID-19 cases surge across Canada, thanks in large part to the more contagious variants of concern and a vaccine rollout that has been operating at a snail’s pace, we are expecting to receive an update as early as Monday from the Canadian Football League on the status of its upcoming season.Word is the league will announce that its 2021 schedule — slated to kick off on June 10 with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats visiting the Winnipeg Blue Bombers — will not start on time.The latest development comes after the federal government reportedly rejected the CFL’s latest request for a $30-million interest-free loan. A similar request was sacked by the Trudeau Liberals last year, forcing the 2020 season to be scrapped.

Rick Zamperin: Is the impact of the coronavirus pandemic to blame for a rash of NFL injuries?

coronavirus pandemic has impacted the league big time, both on and off the field.It didn’t take us long to notice the off-field impact given that very few teams have allowed fans to attend their home games this year, and the franchises that have opened their gates have only welcomed in a very small percentage of their stadium’s capacity.National Football League owners are billionaires or multi, multi-millionaires who sit upon a Mount Everest-like pile of money thanks to the league’s lucrative television contracts, so most of that off-field impact has been felt by the fans who either can’t attend their favourite team’s home games or are missing the crowd noise while watching on TV.

NFL Remains ‘Optimistic’ That 2020 Season Will Start On Time: They’re ‘Monitoring’ It

While the 2020 NBA season was postponed indefinitely due the coronavirus pandemic, and the Major League Baseball season is still on hold, the NFL hopes to go full steam ahead with their 2020/2021 season. Fortunately for the league, they’ve got four months before preseason games are due to kick off, which means that states can hopefully be under more widespread testing and reopening processes by that point. Though filling a stadium with 60,000 fans won’t be a possibility due to social distancing, it’s still okay with the league, which could hold games without a live crowd present.
