Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White may be opting out of playing in the NFL during the 2020 season. Fans in Buffalo and all over have voiced their opinion on White’s potential choice as he has until 4pm today to make his final decision. Many have called fourth year vet “selfish” for debating to not partake in the coming up season after 56 players have tested positive for the Covid-19 Virus around the NFL. White was an All-Pro in 2019, recording a league-high six interceptions along with 58 total tackles in 15 games.

White spoke out against critics tweeting, “Crazy that me choosing my family’s well being over a game comes with so-called fans attacking and questioning me and saying I’m selfish. No you guys are selfish for thinking that football is bigger than life. Oh by the way my girl’s grandfather passed from COVID. U understand now?” White opting out of the season would be a precautionary measure, but after reading his explanation, it is clear why he is considering it. If he is to do so, he will be one of the biggest stars thus far to make that choice.

The NFL preseason has been cancelled and the regular season is to start on September 10th with the Buffalo Bills first game to be on September 13th against the New York Jets. As of right now, there will be no fans in attendance and they are also working to ban tailgating due to health concerns. Players have until 4 pm to decide whether they will opt out. After that, NFL Network reported that “players can opt out after the deadline if the player is diagnosed as being high risk for contracting coronavirus or a family member dies or is in a hospital because of coronavirus or a related issue.” Tune in to the 4pm news to see what Tre White decides!

UPDATE: White did not opt out of the 2020 season! Go Bills!

Take me out to the ball game…well maybe not this year. With Covid-19 halting most sporting events, it’s safe to say there will be no peanuts and cracker jacks until next season. Baseball is America’s sport and it wouldn’t be summer without ballpark food and some good old fashion hardball, but this year things have changed. Being from Buffalo, we enjoy heading down to Sahlen Field to watch our AAA Buffalo Bisons play all summer long. What will you miss the most about a baseball-less summer?

The Buffalo Bisons are a AAA baseball team who is the Toronto Blue Jays farm team. Year after year, both Buffaloians and Canadians fill the ballpark to watch their Bisons suit up and play. Every so often, one of the players will get pulled up and play in a series or 2 with the Blue Jays, while other times, some Blue Jays players may drop down and play with us in Buffalo. This affiliation is a big draw to some major games, while others are just headed to Sahlen Field for an evening of entertainment.

The Bisons fill their season with “themed games” such as Star Wars Night, Zombie Night, and the famous BPO Independence Day game. These themed nights, mixed with Friday Night Bash and fireworks draw many families and friends to the park for a night out. There are interactive promotional games that the fans can be chosen to participate in as well as various food choices and wonderful displays of athleticism. With over 80 home games in a season, there is always a chance to catch a game in the summertime.

A summer without baseball is a real shame for sports fans everywhere. Whether you are drawn in for the entertainment, the players, the food or the themed events, baseball will be missed this summer. The Buffalo Bisons plan to go back to business as usual in the summer of 2021 and we will all can’t wait til then!
