[Mark1T]

^^Not a good sign and disheartening.

So I stayed up last night until 1AM watching my Giants play the rival Dodgers, so needless to say i will not be a happy camper if what i think will happen, happens( possible season cancellation).

The Vikings say VP of Sports Medicine/head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman, the team’s Infection Control Officer in the battle against COVID-19, has tested positive for the virus.

This seems like a bad omen.

[Corbi]

Cancel all of them and not because of covid.

No surprise here. What do you think happens after they leave the ball field?

That knucklehead basketball player who had to leave the bubble for personal reasons just had to go to a strip club to get chicken wings.What?

I am all for professional athletics for entertainment. But for the love of god, is anyone really taking this seriously? I think not. It is about health and well being. I say cancel this stuff until there is a bit of control.

Sports will cave just like everything else has

[mtpockets]

At least five NFL players will NOT participate in the 2020 season over COVID-19 concerns ... with the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots and more losing players on Monday.

Several teams just announced the opt-outs ... with the most notable, Baltimore Ravens returner and wide receiver De'Anthony Thomas, coming early Monday morning.

Other players joining the former Oregon Ducks star Monday included: Cowboys cornerback Maurice Canady, Washington D-lineman Caleb Brantley, Seahawks O-lineman Chance Warmack and Patriots fullback Danny Vitale.

Of course, the fivesome joins Chiefs offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif ... who opted out over the weekend, choosing instead to use his doctorate background this year to help fight coronavirus.

The NFL -- as part of its collective bargaining agreement for this season -- is allowing players to opt out this year if they feel uncomfortable playing amid the pandemic.

The league says players deemed to be at "high-risk" of being affected by coronavirus can make a $350,000 stipend for opting out. The rest, meanwhile, can make $150,000 in a salary advance if they choose to sit.

Per the agreement between the NFL and NFLPA, the players opting out will have their current contracts toll into next season.

My friend who is big in sports marketing for a number of pro teams told me that he didn't think that they will finish the season and that was before baseball began.
THe Marlins will have to field the ball boys next game.

Agreed. Call it a season. Sad.

I'm happy sports are on. The Red Sox are terrible this year and I sit through and watch the games. You can't listen to Hannity do the same show night after night with the same guests and stay sane.

As long as the Yankees and Lakers don't win, I'm happy.

The Marlins, with its 20 coronavirus cases so far, are going on an 18-hour bus ride home from Philadelphia to Florida, ending in an “isolated quarantine location.”

The Miami mayor is putting them on 14-day quarantine upon returning.

Go Giants!

Its better to extend sports schedule untill we will get the solution for Covid-19.

The NHL Stanley Cup play offs are being held in my city because its one of the "safest" to be held in.

I never did like hockey, I never cared for the Edmonton Oilers (who can barely make the play offs), and I'm definitely not happy having all these border jumpers are here to play a stupid f'ing game so others can make money off of it.

The entirety of the NHL can kiss my hairy ass.

I'm not ok with the political messages on the NBA jerseys, and never will be...

The MLB games just have that spring training feel to them and the NBA games aren't a whole lot more interesting than preseason games up until now...

I'm ok with the way the fights feel mainly because generally the camera was and is trained on the inside of the ring or cage...

I'm pretty sure football on any level isn't gonna work...




the cornhole tournaments they show on ESPN still bore the crap out of me though

Watched a bit of an NBA game last night. Everything looks like a scrimmage anymore. Missing 90s ball, but that level of competitiveness will probably never come back. Political too, meh, I'll just watch youtube or read a book.
