Football isn’t happening. States opening will be temporary

I can see football not happening but would not bet on it. Empty stadiums in some states, sparse seating in others, maybe 1/3 seating in others but all will be on TV and that is the $$$. Players take bigger risk on each play than this. They will test players every day before practice.

Lots of states probably didn't need to do total shut down to start with. Why do you think they will not be able to stay open? I do see a massive risk of people in the states still shut down fleeing to open states -- I live in Palm Beach and those frigging NYC smucks were flying in here like crazy and suddenly we have highest death total in state. Really need to close lot of internal borders but I doubt we will. Interested in your reasoning. Not much else to talk about.

I hope you’re right. It just has so many variables. If one player comes down with it during the season will the whole team have to be quarantined? Will the team they’ve recently played have to be quarantined?

I also have thought since this thing started our country will likely get impatient, open early, and create a worse second wave. The curve just started to flatten and we’re already reopening beaches and restaurants

Even with testing every day before practice, all it takes is one to bring it and it spreads for days before someone even pops positive. Then the others that have been around him start popping positive and so on so forth. I really want this all to go away and get back to normal, but I think between the government, leagues, players unions, lawsuits and players themselves all coming together to be on the same page don't really seem to line up for a season this year. Really hope I am wrong, but I just don't see it. Walmart already has a wrongful death suit filed against them just the other day from an employee who got sick and died from the Wuhan flu. Can you imagine the lawsuits filed from star athletes families? This is uncharted territory..... Hope I am wrong.

Hey, it is uncharted so you can't really be wrong. King Dollar will have big voice among the sports world. If media starts hinting that $$$ will not be coming it seasons get cancelled lots of positions can get agreeable especially in football. I have no idea what is in CBA for NFL or players contracts but if there is a way to not pay players they will agree to play. If owners can get money from TV they will play in empty stadium. Some sort of self-insurance fund for the league for players who get sick ..... things can be worked out. Basketball is more China centric so it will do what China tells it to do unless the back lash building against China gets so bad that it is US or them deal, then it gets interesting.

The legal angle could get funky easy. If I was still practicing. my PIs would have spent the last month taking down N numbers off private jets jamming the parking at all the airfields in Palm Beach and point south. NY rich people flooded down here to avoid the NY stay put order. It would take creativity but huge class action suits might be brought. They were violating some sort of order and people down here got infected because of it. Take a lot on number crunching but for a good attorney 2 plus 2 equals whatever you need it to be.

Then the big fish is Chins itself. That is the pot of gold at end of rainbow. Thanks to Hurter Binden and other like him, China has massive attachable assets in USA, heck they just bought Smithfield Farms -- huge food company. Congress passed some act letting Americans sue Saudis for 911. Not sure what is in it but a good starting point for suing foreign sovereign. ****, some creative plaintiff's firm is bound to go after any number of China lobby types -- lots of dead bodies in the streets as clients. Football is small potatoes in this deal.

For sure. This is not who we are for the most part. So far we have been behaving extremely well but I suspect most people are about dine with it. I'm old, at risk, and limited mobility but getting to the end of the rope. Heck, we closed ourselves in long before gov't got involved but the second someone told me I had to jail myself the clock staring ticking. The Docs would lock us up for next 18 months as long as their paychecks keep coming. Tell them they are getting drafted in to non paying healthcare position and watch them start saying enough is enough. Politicians and media from both sides love to tell us "that's not how we are" and then explain who we are. But Americans are Americans and ruling class and rest of the world are fairly clueless as to who we are. Every time we show them, they get cranky and upset. I am pretty sure we will put up with this until we don't and that is it. Not sure when that is but we will know when we see it.

For me, I think we are doing good and will be fine. It will be rocky but we always get it right, after we try everything wrong. China will be the big loser out of this. For all our Cane brothers and sisters, stay safe out there. I watched my vintage VCR tape of the first NC game last night and no matter what happens it remains great to be a Miami Hurricane.

There will be no MLB until the players association decides it's safe for them. There is no discussion on that. They have the power and right.
NBA players association is not that powerful but being a full physical sport you can bet the chance is slim to none. Closed arenas..
NFL - There is no way in **** there will be pro football football. Is just common sense health over money all day for them.
CFB - Slim to none the chance. The NCAA and schools will be scare to death.
GOLF? I can see that without public.
