The news popping up on Chika’s phone as she headed into the Kansas City practice facility, “NSFL Suspends Season” and it caused her to freeze. It was becoming more of a reality as the outbreak grew and grew. The problem with Chika is that she had always been fairly ahead of any sickness and disease so even back when the OL Coach came in with a slight cough, she was wearing a face mask. However, now it seemed that things were going even further south with this outbreak. Coach Howl suspended official practices for full teams and decided to split things up by position groups. Chika, being the soul starting QB, was placed in practice with the Yeet Squad in order to keep below the limit on groups allowed together. The position group practice was the way the Coyotes decided to keep from getting too lazy during the shutdown but also to give everyone something to do. Most players decided to stay home and keep on with video calls to get practice routines. Chika has increased her twitter presence though and spent more time being with her sisters now that she is forced back home with them. The outbreak plan for the Coyotes involves a lot more family and relaxing time in order to keep from players going insane.
If this DSFL season came to a screeching halt due to COVID-19, Acura Skyline would be devastated. His obsession with becoming physically large, thick, and vascular, would be heavily hampered by a lack of open gyms. Obviously that would be priority number one, developing an at-home gym, inspired by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, in order to properly care for his chiseled and heavily curated physique. Priority number two: figure out how to pass the time. A professional athlete’s life is filled with bursts of frenzied activity and long periods of empty down time. A COVID-19 lockdown would further extend those empty periods. Skyline loves to learn about the world, and would probably end up binge watching the latest sensation: Tiger King. After learning about the incredible Joe Exotic, the polygamous cult leader Doc Antle, and that b**** down in Florida Carol Baskin (who definitely killed her husband and fed him to the tigers), Skyline’s jaw would be on the floor, and he would have to rewatch. At around the third or fourth rewatch, Skyline would attempt to DIY Joe Exotic’s bleached mullet. Around the sixth rewatch Skyline would begin considering getting himself a pet cat and naming it “Carol Baskin”. And then, on the tenth rewatch, Skyline would undoubtedly decide to purchase a tiger. However, he would likely be talked out of it quickly enough, but the need for a big cat would never leave him. We should all hope that this timeline never matures.
The Corona Virus has swept the entire world. An unexpected outcome is that the sports world has completely shut down…outside of the NSFL. This has been a controversial decision but the NSFL has always been known as an organization that doesn’t care about its players or it’s fans. They are profit first and they have forced NSFL teams to show up on the field every Sunday to play the game of the football, albeit in front of empty crowds. The NSFL hasn’t explicitly banned fans from the game as they are not concerned of the virus spreading or public health concerns. The NSFL players have questioned the decision from NSFL owners but have been told they would be replaced with replacement players who are desperate for NSFL spots. Franklin Armstrong would prefer to have the season continue, selfishly because he is having yet another MVP season and in the process of gearing up for another Ultimus run. Armstrong was asked what he would be doing if the NSFL was shut down and he had one answer, he would go straight to the gym to work out and get ready for whenever the NSFL is brought back. But for now, Armstrong is happy that the NSFL has no concern for public health or the safety of its players.
I'd be pretty upset if the season had to be cancelled mainly because I just love playing football. But trust me in quarantine I'd have plenty of things to help me pass the time. Sure of course I'd keep working out in my home gym and staying for blah blah blah. But really I'd look to get into some hobbies I'd been looking at trying out. You ever see those marble races on YouTube? That stuff is the shit. I'd be building marble tracks all over that place. My commentary alone would be legendary and posting videos of it on what's that thing all the kids are into these days, Tic-tac? Heck I'd even start up my marble racing podcast I always wanted to do. Ok enough about the marbles. Oh yeah and Legos, yeah that's my jam. I've been waiting for some free time to build a Lego model of the leaning tower of Piza. Maybe I'd even read a b- haha nah just kidding. Of course with Popeye's still having the drive thru open you know I would be hitting that up every day. So yeah you know maybe missing out on the season wouldn't be all that bad after all.
Nacho is already a loner, so not a whole lot would change for him to be honest. Nacho keeps to himself outside of practice, and games. If the NSFL season was cancelled indefinitely, Nacho would be extremely disappointed, first of all. He trains very hard all year long and would hardly know what to do with himself to see his effort wasted. That said, he would most likely just bury himself in his personal training and film preparation. He would have to assume that the season could start up again at any moment, and prepare that way. The rest of the team, however, would most likely not follow quarantine protocol. Mike Franchet has never been a rule follower, and something like a pandemic threatening society as we know it, would not be the first thing to make him start following them. He would undoubtedly would attempt to meet the team in person, much to everyone else's dismay.
All of that said, Nacho would also be worried about his Los Pollos Hermanos franchises back home. They are not equipped to survive only being drive thru and takeout, due to the investment in the dining experience. Nacho would have to learn to adapt his restaurants to take advantage of the situation, though.
