It is to a degree unless you want historical clubs folding because of a relatively small risk from Covid to athletic, young people. Clubs need to pay their bills and we don’t want lots of them ending up like Bury.

Lots of other people take a manageable level of risk including postal workers, slope keepers etc
Absolutely - I've already said you were right, I was wrong and acknowledged football is different. As you say it's essential like the post and essential shops, and unlike other businesses football clubs could go out of buisness if they cease activities due to covid.
 
All other sport too.
What about all those elderly,or vulnerable people living alone that have little else to look forward to. I know a coulpe of older men that we shop for that look forward to our sport chats after watching it when we ring or drop of shopping. Can’t see what harm televised elite sport does but have seen benefits.

Hells bells I'm not having this sort of thing I know the Chinese started all this but putting them in zoo's is right over the top, who do I report this bounder to.

Of course sport on TV does no harm. I just wonder how 22 players and officials can maintain distancing while crammed inside a TV ;-).
Seriously you are quite right, and it would be selfish and wrong for footballers to just sit around at home during lockdown rather than do what is actually an essential job which can't very well be done from home.
 
Those that want football and other sport to stop are incredibly sad.

no justification for it either.

they have been made a special case and you can agree or disagree with that but there is no link between football carrying on and deaths.

if you wanted football to stop in March 2020 and not resume until social distancing ends which is likely to be not until at least 2022 then perhaps sport isn’t for you.

Absolutely, I don't see why some seem to think they should be vaccinated before essential things like premier league football. Teachers and now police apparently would happily see themselves vaccinated first while our brave elite level footballers risk their lives just to bring a little cheer to our homes.

football has helped keep millions half sane and is vital

Absolutely, I hope when this is over other selfish folk that have just sat at home and watched the economy go to ruin take a long look at themselves in relation to the selfless actions of our footballers. I'd like to see PL players, officials etc recognised for their public service during lock down - maybe some sort of medal like the volunteer services got after WW2. Also important to acknowledge that non of this would be possible without the 'can do' Dunkirk spirit of sky, BT, and amazon
