Should the Premier league have a 2 week break over Xmas due to recent Omicron cases and extend the season? Was it fair for UEFA to basically kick Spurs out of the Europa Conference League because they couldn't face Rennes due to a Covid-19 outbreak?
On this episode of The Staight Shootin' View, SSLJA discusses the recent outbreaks of the Omicron variant of covid-19 in the Premier League and discusses whether or not the league should shut down for 2 weeks in the interest of player safey, to clear the cases, clean up and reset, with the season being extended
SSLJA also discusses a UEFA decision to effectively kick Tottenham Hotspur out of the Europa Conference League by forcing them to forfeit their match v Rennes, which they couldn't play due to a Covid-19 outbreak, and questions this decision asking if it would happen to the 'bigger' sides in the Champions League.
SSLJA also gives his view on the powers that be in football looking at preserving their TV money as their main priority, as oopposed to prioritising player safety during the pandemic.
