Is moving football to the spring really such a bad idea? Like it or not, its time to consider the optionStraight up: The 2020 sports calendar is irrevocably wrecked. Doesnt matter what happens now, theres no fixing it. The Mavs could come to like living in a bubble and FC Dallas could avoid infecting the rest of MLS and the Rangers could remember to close the lid before flushing, and it wouldnt help. Not enough, anyway. No one will look back at the most tumultuous year in at least a generation and label it a golden year of sport.
So if its already a bust, is flip-flopping football really such an awful idea?
I can hear you all the way over here: If God really wanted us to play football in the spring, Hed have found better financing.
But lets face it, at the rate cases are spiking, theres a pretty good chance football might not be an option this fall, either. Might as well consider our options.

The cards do. Maybe they could play multiple teams about of the stadiums that have ac or just cooler spring/summer.
