Too many suits in the game.
You're running 8 miles a match, 2/3x a week. These guys already abuse caffeine, doping, don't sleep, and not to mention mental health stress. Throw in covid and it's a recipe for disaster.
These players have been playing since May 2020 with 1.5, maybe 2 months rest.

I really dont think a pause would do anything. We are gonna see large increase in positive cases for at least a month.

I just find it amusing that the same clubs will argue that holding AFCON is a war crime in the same breathe. CAF better not cave after this.
60% of the matches this weekend were postponed. With Boxing Day, say a club has an outbreak, that's potentially 2/3 matches being postponed. Rather lose one match than have multiple 2 matches in 48/72 hours come Spring.
This postponing matches day of, after thousands have potentially traveled and players are in limbo isn't fair to anyone.
