18. Human Error
Players are humans too. Someone is going to do something stupid. We’ve already seen Rudy Gobert touching microphones just days before he tested positive. With all of the regulations sports leagues bring in, it’s inevitable somebody makes a mistake.

Bundesliga organizers told German soccer players not to spit and to bump elbows instead of high-fiving. This is easier to say than to enforce. How long before someone just follows their natural instinct? When more sports leagues return, this will get even more complex.
