re: If you were a football player, why would you not get Covid now on purpose?

This would be why I wouldn't rush out to get it:
Study: CT Scans show lung injury in asymptomatic carriers
This might not be a big deal if you are a regular 9 to 5-er, or even if you do manual labor, but if that slightly diminished lung capacity costs you 2 steps in your 40, that's potentially millions of dollars in draft $ and maybe the difference in getting separation from your defender or missing your angle to catch up with a reciever racing down the sidelines.
The studies on this are only in preprint so far, but they are unlikely to be withdrawn given the fact that the imaging results appear to be fairly cut and dried.

The study you linked was based off passengers from the Diamond Princess cruise line, average age: 65.
But if true, then the players should be living in bubbles quarantined from the outside world for the next couple years until a vaccine is found (if it ever is).
Playing football is no more of a risky proposition than going to the store, a bar, a protest, a political rally, class, etc.
Of course none of them are isolating, so talk of football being dangerous is groundless.

And you can have "lung damage" from the flu as well.
