I really don't understand the sentiment that league is only trying to make a "cash grab".

OK...so what?

Is that not the aim of every single business?

Is EVERY season the league plays not a "cash grab" then?

They have a bunch of TV money sitting on the table waiting to be taken. Why should they not try and figure a way to do so as long as all health and welfare regulations and standards are met to keep all involved safe?

I think it is highly unlikely it happens myself because of the logistics involved, but there is zero reason for them to not try and do so and unless you have some personal reason for not wanting to see them succeed (IE; a relative/friend you worry about getting ill) why would you be against such a move?

Circumstances have conspired against the league being able to have a normal course of events type season. That not preclude them from making the best of what they have been given though. I applaud the aggressiveness of trying even if it doesn't come to fruition.
