    NFL might be the only sport played this year....possibly a shortened baseball season

    NHL and NBA doubtful to finish this season....start the new season in October as usual

    If that is the case then just end the regular season and play the playoff games in an open stadium or on the deck of a battleship.

    Get used to this. There will be a new virus in a year or two, and we'll go through this all over again.

    If it does start back in 3 months it would be the first time the Knicks saw playing time in June since ‘99

    Agreed I say keep everything open and business as usual and let everyone get it.. Move on..

    1% or 2% die rather then everyone suffering and out of work with economic disaster looming for all.. Crime and desperation and then starvation is end game soon after if you keep shiiit shut down..

    If people aren't working they aren't paying rent and or their mortgages.

    They could extend it. Start their seasons a month later.

    Good idea! Or on a luxury super-yacht (don't think these NBA guys would go for military living).

    the more I see the effect of this the more I lean this way. it would be how the flu has been anyway each year. might as well not even live if we have to react like this for each new virus.

    They are going to cancel the season. As they should. Sports doesn’t matter anymore.

    Most people are still working... if you just let everyone get the virus then everyone WILL get it and then the world really will shut down. I don't know what the recovery rate is but that percentage would down if the hospitals got swamped. Then there's the death toll -difficult to work a dead man!

    The thing that interests me is that all of this has been compared to being "at war", but when when a war is over somebody has to pick up the tab. So will China have to pay?

    They should cancel, then a 5 game or 3 game best of playoff series instead of boring ass dragged out 7 gamers. Best teams will still win anyways.

    NBA and NHL are done. MLB on the brink right now. They could play half season. MLS could also play half season.

    MLB could start later next year if they have to push this season until December. They can play the playoffs in Arizona and Miami if needed and all teams can be on neutral ground.
