NFL 2020 Season Week #1 – Bucs vs Saints

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicked off with 2020 NFL Season with a game against the New Orleans Saints inside a silent Superdome.

If there was ever any doubt that sports is a reflection of society, NFL week one was proof positive.

Players wore messages on their helmets promoting social justice and locked arms in a show of unity for racial equality. Stadiums sat empty with in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19 among fans and stadium staff.

With normally raucous crowds gone, you could hear a pin drop during TV timeouts when the piped in crowd noise was turned off.

The Saints came out on top of this game but I think these Bucs will be just fine.

They’ve got a great mix of crafty vets and young bucks who can ball (especially rookies Tristan Wires and Antoine Winfield Jr.).

But the day was a reminder that now, more than ever, we all need to wear a mask and register to vote.

The game inside the dome went off without a hitch.

It’s the world outside that needs our attention.
