Honestly, I don't think the season should be paused because for how long will that be? Wouldn't we still come back to meet the pandemic just like after the restart the last time?

While I understand that vaccination is a personal choice (even though getting vaccinated doesn't stop you from contracting the virus), I believe there were measures put in place after the restart last season when the vaccines were not readily available as now.

If push comes to shove, they should return to playing matches behind closed doors. With this, there'd be lesser risk of transmitting the virus.

Also, players should be encouraged, perhaps incentivized to take the vaccine. They shouldn't result to victimization in any case.
