IF and a huge IF it got bad, before they cancel I think they play in empty gyms. Too much TV money on the line to cancel.
Dr. Fauci testified today that it will get worse.I am now starting to think this thing is really gonna be bad. praying for everyone.
No. It is not like that at all.No this is like when a Blizzard is coming and the first school district closes the night before, everyone follows as not to look like they don't know what they are doing. Then you wake up and there is no snow. And now they can say if it doesn't get bad this is why. If that's the case get ready for this to be the norm.
After CBI cancelled, I am shocked NCAA and Nit are still even going to happen.
If a bunch of people catch the virus at arenas, we’ve got a lot more to worry about than lawsuits. I guess some people won’t take this threat seriously until they or someone they know dies.Look, what else are they to do, think about the potential lawsuits if a bunch of people catch this thing at stadiums. I agree, its sensational, but lawyers run this world.
The FF in Atlanta is gonna look a whole lot like a home football game at Pitt!Not even the Final Four?
Postpone it? Think all those players will stick around for several months and not sign NBA contracts??? Really???
Or how they predict a hurricane will make landfall for years...it doesn't or it weakens a few times so people get lazy and complacent and all of a sudden they are stuck riding out a monster storm with no power and electricity. They then get on camera and swear they will never do it again and they had no idea how bad it could be.No this is like when a Blizzard is coming and the first school district closes the night before, everyone follows as not to look like they don't know what they are doing. Then you wake up and there is no snow. And now they can say if it doesn't get bad this is why. If that's the case get ready for this to be the norm.
Only if the seats are yellow.The FF in Atlanta is gonna look a whole lot like a home football game at Pitt!
Will be interesting to see if this translated to more or less viewership. Could actually increase fees if tied to eyeballs. Then again, they may have arena penalties that offset.Way more money involved... NCAA Tourney brought in over $1b in rights fees last year... yea.
Also - gotta think this only benefits Penn State. They been used to playing in a soulless mausoleum for years now, so should feel right at home! /s

Guess they can prove it.What a bunch of crock. How in god’s name will anyone prove where they got it. It’s not lawyers who are making these decisions.

The Press is getting exactly what it wants. The Press wants to control our lives.
I know for a personal fact that the big east had many discussions with their counsel and team of attorneys about whether to keep the big east tournament as is, in NYC. If you dont think lawyers are involved give your penn state degree back to the school
Seriously, in a month or two, I don't believe anyone will give a rats a$$ what these pre madonnas do.Postpone it? Think all those players will stick around for several months and not sign NBA contracts??? Really???
Exactly.Yep. The threat of lawsuits is about to shut this country down.
The negative economic impact to these cities FAR outweighs any potential health crisis to the fans actually attending the games.
Common sense alert. If you are over 50, in shi++y health, and you are afraid of getting CV-19, DON'T GO!!!
Well a “healthy” NBA player just tested positive for it.Exactly.
Wow. NBA suspends it’s games after player tests positive.
Dr. Fauci testified today that it will get worse.
Earlier today, the Warriors announced that their next game would be played in an empty arena.
St. Patrick's Day parades are cancelled in major cities. Coachella postponed.
There will be more of this. The B1G will probably ultimately decide on empty arenas, it seems to me. (If they have not already.)
However, the good news that we an take from these event actions is that serious people are taking serious steps to mitigate the damage to public health.
So what happens with the NHL?? Seems like they need to also suspend.
