    Good point about timing. I'm going to guess the union gave the go-ahead for shuffling of schedules if it facilitated health from the Trumpandemic.

    Funny how Clay Trumpist was saying week ago that this was no big deal, that the Titans would be fine. All the players will recover, etc. Maybe the players will recover. But it was way too soon to say there would be no impact from this.
    The initial Trumpist reaction to the news was "Here come the Coronabros cheering for the virus. It'll be nothing. Just watch."
    Let's see how the ()$(* Tennessee Titans' fans react when their team loses a draft pick or something else. I hope they lose a bunch of games as well.

    Did they do something wrong? We don't know yet. Rest assured if they did the league will hammer them.

    This sounds ominous.
    Numerous sources who have been in contact with high-ranking NFL officials said that there were already concerns arising from the immediate data about potential infractions, with an expectation among other team executives who have been in contact with league officials that significant penalties could be forthcoming for the Titans.

    And then there is this. The author had better be right about it or he could face some difficulty.
    Specifically, the investigation is looking to determine if there were any violations of protocol regarding the intake of defensive back Greg Mabin, who was signed to the team's practice squad on Thursday and would later test positive for COVID-19 two days later. Sources said that the initial review of contract tracing indicated early in the week that this is when the virus entered the team facility.

    If it was just bad luck, I agree with you. If it was the Titans' negligence, that's another matter entirely.

    Author should face some difficulty just for writing this:

    “...who was signed to the team's practice squad on Thursday and would later test positive for COVID-19 two days later.“

    Exactly. Might need some attribution there. Did the player confirm? The team?

    There’s more wrong with that sentence.
