Panthers outbreak linked to "gathering of players outside of team facility"

[Jeremy Igo]

From Joe P :

 

Dr. Allen Sills, NFL's chief medical officer, says Panthers' COVID transmission was linked back "to some gathering of players outside the team facility" during the bye week.

Highly doubt it. It never even came to the team facility. Players going out on their own and getting it during the bye is their problem. Much different than the team being responsible for protocols being broken at the team facility.

Exactly.  Panthers organization will not be punished at all nor should they be. Players should.

Hopefully we have to forfeit the game Sunday. The more losses the better. Winning is pointless this late in the season.

Exactly. Hopefully they just suspend some players and we have to play this websites owner at QB.

Players probably should be punished but won’t. There are no rules that prohibit them from gathering outside the facility. The NFLPA would appeal any punishment the league tries to hand out and win.

Well, this seems like a bunch of crazy talk.

The NFL can't punish the team for something players do on their own time outside the team facility.  In what world does anyone think that will fly?  The NFLPA would crush them.  Any court would crush them.  Heck, even the team itself might sue the NFL if they tried that.

Even the team doesn't really have any legal recourse against those players.  Again.  On their own time, outside team facilities.  Your employer has no say in what you do in those circumstances, and the Panthers are no different.

This isn't to say the team won't be pissed, privately.  I'm sure they will let those players know in no uncertain terms how stupid that was.  But we will likely never hear about it except as rumors.

Team should be fined. 

As long as they don't take Draft picks away.

Not like a non first round draft pick taken a way from Hurney would actually matter anyway.

Lol, look at y’all ready to crucify these guys for being close to each other during a “pandemic” , but every thing is fine when they’re tackling and sweating on each other during a football game, as long as it’s for your entertainment. Hypocrites.

Maybe not for first time. The other teams had previous issues.
