The New Orleans Saints are facing significant discipline for not wearing masks during their postgame celebrations last Sunday night -- as seen in videos they posted to social media, including the team's own Twitter account -- after their victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, league sources tell ESPN.

The NFL is more worried about missing games due to postponements and a potential shortened season from Covid-19 than actual player safety, I’m willing to bet.

On the other hand, it’s silly anyways, because it’s not like this virus is dangerous to world class athletes.

Any kind of punishment is stupid.

Being a world class athlete doesn’t make you incapable of spreading the virus to non elite athlete support staff.

The issue is that it was players confined to their own locker room. It’s not like they were celebrating all over the stadium.

Yeah this makes sense. A bunch of people who are tested daily and test negative are unmasked on a football field and this is fine, players go into the locker room, and its all of a sudden a problem. There is being smart and safe, and then there is this crappy optics rule.

You can’t catch corona when playing sports, only when you celebrate. Everyone knows this.

I saw a group of Saints...oh maybe 10 or 11 in a circle talking during the Tampa game and not one wearing a mask.
Hmmmmmm.

They are on the sideline without mask, they are in the game without mask, they are at practice without mask, hell brady was about a foot from trying to make out with brees, where is his fine. I wish goodell would catch covid and his dick falls off (related or unrelated) to his china virus.

A loss of a draft pick would be a historically bad punishment for this, so i fully expect goodell to go there

Meanwhile the Titans can illegally practice while they were supposed to be quarantining and they only received a $350K fine. frick Goodell.

Did you really think Roger Goodell would miss an opportunity to stick it to Sean and the Saints? He will hand down the maximum penalty. Raiders had to give up a 6th rounder so I’m sure we will have to give up a 2nd.

So they don't have to wear a mask on the field of play, where they are on top of one another and literally swapping bodily floods, yet they have to wear a mask in the locker room.

There is little rhyme or reason.
