As long as there are still going to be porking lots, never.

Yes.

Problem is though people are going to get out of the habit/routine of following sports, and its as good as an excuse as any for finding something else to do. I bet when sports finally do come back you will see a surge of folks/interest initially, and then a month or two after you will see a big drop-off in interest. Not so much in football as the others (baseball and basketball especially).

Still think it is nuts some sports aren't pushing to have closed-stadium games now...try to do something/anything to drum up interest. A closed-to-the-public Masters tournament would dominate TV because there is literally nothing else on to compete with it but its postponed now...

I thought it was good for our immune system to get sick. If there aren't any viruses capable of overburdening hospitals, then why change our behavior?

I would assume they looked into it and something was blocking their way.

I don't get why they can't play in the front of closed stadiums now. Noted virus expert the mainstream media said it was hotel rooms

Definitely changed me following baseball after the strike in 1994. I was pissed and never really returned.

Because the players might spread a cold

why not force separation on the field and in the seats.

Picture a FB game where they have to remain 6 ft apart at all times (spread formation anyone?), play is over when a player violates that space. In the stands, only seats are every 4th row with staggered seating every 5 seats. Can't leave to go to the zone so solves that problem.

God I am sick of this shit... even thinking like this... shoot my ass


Edit PS: I never feel safe with 70,000 strangers.

The vid has brought up more @SpoonieLuv poasts along with financial ruin, so I’ll call it a wash

This cuntry loves to manufacture band-aide problems into a national emergency room full of panic.

I’m more likely to drown or die in a fire or get the AIDS. I may do so willingly (and gladly) if this shit doesn’t end soon.

Weren’t people already losing interest in the NBA an MLB? The NBA especially has had declining ratings for the last 5 years or so.

This fall when MSU opens season. And the rest of SEC.
