The year 2020 just hasn’t been the year for a lot of people. The Washington Football head coach Ron Rivera has announced that he is diagnosed with cancer. Rivera was diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma located in the lymph node. As disappointing as this news may be Rivera says that the will continue coaching the Washington Football team this season.

The Washington Football team is adjusting to new changes this season as they got rid of the previous team name “The Washington Redskins” changed it to the “Washington Football team”. They will be looking to improve on the season after showing a disappointing 2019-20 going 3-13 on the season.

My Thoughts

Definitely some scary stuff to hear from head coach Ron Rivera. Not news or something anyone wants to hear or get, so my prayers are to him as hopefully he will be free of cancer soon. It’s good that he is going too continue on coaching the team this season, because if he is at home not doing the things he loves, it’s going tot make him more miserable. I don’t know if he will coach the whole season, depending on how his treatments go, but I hope things will turn out the best for him.
