If the US does not sort itself out and the border restrictions are not lifted it would be funny if the three Canadian teams only played among themselves the rest of the way. They can play at BMO Field if they want, nothing in the way of that.

Wouldn't be surprised if they did another tourney in Orlando come Nov/Dec. The NHL and NBA will be done. No way MLB and NFL continue in a non-bubble way. ESPN or whoever will need content.
NFL is on equal par with College Football in the US for religious status, with the added bonus of being less potential bozo eruption points - 30 odd teams compared to 500 or so.
If anybody is going to be allowed to ignore Covid in 2020, it's them
Couple that with a lot of players finding their voice on social media (and not just the liberal ones) and you have a recipe for a lot of sturm. I just don't know if the guys running NFL ultimately care - there are thousands of people in each team's city who will gladly step into packed stadiums to watch their teams. If TV will show those games, NFL types will let those revenues flow.
Every time an MLS story discusses opening up games to fans, there are quite a few tweets from people who say "DO IT, I'll be there!". Guys like Arthur Blank will gladly figure out a way to have people 6 feet apart just to make his friend Trump look better.
On another note - viewership numbers

Orlando look a decent side. Credit goes to Pareja who is a proper coach in this league.
Nice to see their fans have something to cheer about after years of putting up with crap and instability.
Portland vs Orlando about to kick off soon
