    My guess is MLB is playing regular season games in the middle of July with no fans.

    They balked at the proposal and didn't bring it to a vote. There were issues involving mandatory testing they didn't like, no families, expanded rosters and the ARZ heat.

    No fans (people) and no fans (machines that blow air)

    Rumors it begins late May, as it should. All data in shows the reaction to corona was the worst in human history, literally a total fraud. Bay area, Massachusetts, Miami now, Sweden did very little and looks as good as anyone else with near herd immunity

    This was a hoax, stop trying to get federal dollars and telling others what to do you marxist governors. The science has spoken, yet you keep lying.

    All that said, my hope is May since it's obvious there is no problem, and what I think is June.

    Sweden says no. Isaac ben Israel did the analysis - same curve no matter what any country did. Science already knew coronaviruses go away in April. Every model was a lie, there were 5 already dead wrong. Now they are known wrong over and over, but I know you're just saying this to derail the thread, so good try.

    We just finished the first calendar month without any MLB/NHL/NBA/NFL games since July of 1981 during the MLB strike. April 2020 joins July
    1981 as the only months since all four leagues have existed that none of these four leagues held a game.

    It'll be interesting to look back in a year. WHO now praising Sweden's choice, although the WHO just about worthless.

    You can add May and June 2020 to that list.

    You think the players are going to agree? I don't see it especially the part of 50/50 revenue sharing.

    It’s going to look REALLY bad for owners and players if they don’t come to an agreement.

    30 million newly jobless Americans but owners and players can’t find a way to play 81 games? C’mon.

    Agreed. You already got early pay, just play, why create more headaches, it's prorated and a split of revenues = good deal.

    What lemming actually thinks there is a health risk at this point? For athletes on top of it? Gimme a break.
