This could make things inequitable for the coming season. Different states will have different reopenings.

Well... good to see openings elsewhere. (y)

We'll see how it works, I have friends in some re-opening states and their "social distancing" was pretty pathetic to be honest. A few of them were talking about how they found it silly with all the stay at home stuff when nobody had to wear masks and people were just using terminals at the store next to each other and immediately after each other. I told them how the stores in my area have required masks for a while now, they have dividers up between registers and self pay machines at the store, every other one is closed down, and they have people who are just wiping everything down all the time, you have to wait for them to send you to an open one, etc.

I'm really hoping that Americans didn't screw the pooch by half-assing it because if this thing goes on longer and it impacts the NFL season I'm going to be real pissed.

Rams should move training camp and OTA's to another state.
Simple solutions.
I'd like to formally invite the Rams to Flagstaff AZ for training camp. The Cardinals don't train there anymore because they're pussies, it's high elevation training(7,000 ft), there are outdoor fields as well as an indoor field, it's beautiful scenery and i can drive up to visit.

Coaches Not Expected Back At Facilities Until All Are Open

Phase 1 of the NFL’s reopening will begin Tuesday. Various front office staffers and other team personnel will have the option to work from team facilities, but coaches — and players who are not rehabbing injuries — continue to wait.

The league’s current line of thinking points to teams’ coaching staffs not being back at facilities until all 32 facilities are open, Judy Battista of NFL.com tweets. Several cannot open Tuesday because of stay-at-home orders remaining in effect.

Although players are not expected to be at team facilities until training camp, events of Monday afternoon provided a glimmer of hope in a grim stretch for sports. Texas joined Arizona and Florida among states that have reopened for sports, with the Lone Star State set to green-light fan-less games beginning May 31. California Gov. Gavin Newsom also said today that June 1 could serve as an opening for his state’s sports contests to resume (sans fans), via The Athletic’s Anthony Slater (on Twitter).

The NFL allowing teams’ coaches to return to facilities while others wait would not seemingly provide an immense advantage for certain teams, at least compared to the league giving some teams the option of bringing players back while others cannot. But for now, keeping each of the 32 teams’ staffs operating in a virtual capacity ensures fairness.

Social-distancing measures may still create a problem for teams to hold workouts, given the number of players and coaches involved and the in-between-whistles requirements of the sport. But some of the country’s marquee sports states making plans to move forward represents a good sign for the time being.

Na. Covid is in other states as well.
Sure, but they're not run by little Dictators like Newsome. Out of all the Beaches in California, the F*@ker chose to close down the 3 in Orange County out of spite.
