16. Fans or No Fans?
Another of the most contentious aspects of the new season is the debate over fans. With a highly contagious sickness going around the world, is it really such a good idea to pack thousands of people into a stadium? So far, we have seen a mixed approach from franchises. 11 teams went as far as week five with no fans present. Others, like the Kansas City Chiefs, had them from the start.

Maybe it’s not the wildest but it’s definitely very weird. Fans totally change the tone of a game. In sum, the lack of atmosphere does have an impact on the mentality of players. It also looks wrong. At the end of the day, it’s the people’s game. The sooner we can have fans back everywhere, the better.
