Odell Beckham Wants NFL to Cancel 2020 Season Due To Coronavirus
Odell Beckham Jr is siding with many NFL players who are concerned with the league’s lack of safety precautions when it comes to COVID-19, and believes that the 2020 season should be cancelled altogether!
“I just feel like the season shouldn’t happen,” the Cleveland Browns star said to the Wall Street Journal in an interview, “and I’m prepared for it to not happen and I wouldn’t mind not having it.”
The NFLPA did come to an agreement on COVID regulations by July 24. However, Beckham still spoke out about the safety challenges.
“Obviously with everything that’s going on, it doesn’t make sense why we’re trying to do this. I can understand basketball was already in the playoffs.”

“Five-on-five basketball in an arena is going to be more intense than regular-season games. Hooping is different than playing an eleven-on-eleven contact sport where there’s 80 people in a locker room.”
“We’re not ready for football season. So why are we trying to push forward?”
“It’s obviously for their money. And that bothers me because there’s always been this — and I hate saying it like that — but the owners’ [attitude is], Oh we own you guys, and just kind of that unfairness going on that they don’t see us as human.”
As we reported, numerous NFL players have opted out of the 2020 season due to Coronavirus issues.
