I agree that there is no way to let just them be exposed and prevent community spread, there is some risk so it's not something players should be trying to get, but there are much more dangerous risks to the players short and long term health from playing tackle football than COVID.
So far I've seen one player in any sport that has had a serious enough aftereffect he was pulled from competition -
Jules Heningburg Exits PLL Bubble Citing Cardiac Issue Since Recovering from COVID-19 | Inside Lacrosse - and as much as people like to say colleges/NFL teams don't care whatsoever about their player's long term health they (or at least the doctors involved) do actually care, or Justyn Ross would still be playing this fall.
