Not sure on NBA NHL now tho

I'll believe it when I see it.. Hope you're right.. Get another Corona spike and they will shut it down even if they have set plans to start the season..

**SBR_Guest_Pro** · 05-09-20, 12:25 PM

NFL already wears masks when they play. And NFL will suck without fans

I mean, they should be able to play a golf tournament, right?

That's one thing I don't understand.

Mid June in Texas....the Colonial will be the first PGA event

Agreed.. That's a social distancing sport by nature even before Corona hit.

Sweet.

I guess we have that Tiger/Phil/Manning/Brady shit-show to fill in until then.

A 19 million dollar payment to the Trump campaign and the worst ratings in WWE history.

The leagues might need to find a better example.

Might be bad ratings, but at least they are at least trying to put a product out there each week. Haven't seen an issue with them have a catastrophic outbreak while they have been in their bubble.

Now shaqqq is saying scrap season

Seems NBA restart has fallen out of favor in public support

**jjgold** · 05-10-20, 09:34 AM

It looks like there’s none maybe next year

Ya

It was pretty misleading that they reopened all these practices facilities

Doesn't mean restart tho

**clockwise1965** · 05-10-20, 10:02 AM

NFL will start as scheduled. NBA and NHL are done for the year.

Agree

This is most likely

**jjgold** · 05-10-20, 10:30 AM

They’re basically officially done

**manny24** · 05-10-20, 12:42 PM

fuk

**carolinakid** · 05-10-20, 12:45 PM

i think guys should work and learn with the games we have going on today, if and when the other games come back fine, if they dont we will have games to bet on, that a given......

**packerd_00** · 05-10-20, 01:49 PM

Now that European Football and NASCAR are returning, I feel the tide is turning a little bit.

Bundesliga restart blow after entire Dynamo Dresden team quarantined

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/may/09/bundesliga-restart-blow-dynamo-dresden-team-quarantined-covid-19

Germany’s plans to restart competitive football next Saturday suffered an early setback after the entire Dynamo Dresden team were placed in a two-week quarantine following two positive coronavirus tests among the players

Bundesliga return in jeopardy.

**jjgold** · 05-10-20, 04:16 PM

The risk factor is basically zero for athletes to die

**carolinakid** · 05-10-20, 04:20 PM

heck the players will get paid, what the game come back or not, heck why would they want to play to add yrs to their bodies and health....

theyre losing some substantial salary for the year if they dont play i believe

**DISTROYA** · 05-11-20, 01:46 PM

its just so obvious....any leagues that start just takes ONE SINGLE PLAYER on either team to test positive (which is like 1000% likely) then all teams go back into quarantine, nothing will last more than one/two games, then all will get shut down. The only debate is will all this clear by NFL season, which I highly doubt it will. And with no fans? Good luck with that. Hope I'm wrong.

Yah, just not worth it. They should take this time to see how other leagues around the world fare. Might find that they need to develop an elaborate bubble community for East & West conferences respectively, with resort staff also quarantined. Cruise ship makes the most sense -difficult to break curfew at sea

Lot of money at stake obviously, so players would make the sacrifice or take a year off.

**spippen** · 05-11-20, 11:30 PM

NBA and NHL very doubtful. I say not gonna happen. Baseball and NFL maybe but only if virus is kept under control. Without any cure/vaccine/effective treatment it is hard to imagine the virus will be kept under control. My guess is cases ramp up again as restrictions ease- I hope I'm wrong.

**IBetYou** · 05-11-20, 11:44 PM

They could cruise around the southern tip of Africa. Let the Somalian Pirates soak in some live NBA action.

Pirates might get into the tourney and win it all

**cybersharp** · 05-12-20, 09:31 AM

It's discouraging to hear how many people -- with no more private access to any pertinent
information than anyone else -- persist in these doom-and-gloom "predictions" with no
factual basis to do so.

All because of an almost comically huge and over-extended, hysterical reaction to an
epidemic with a 97% to 98% survival rate.

Initially, it made sense to quarantine the entire population but that period is over.
Hospitals have not been overwhelmed, and the country has flattened the overall curve
although hotspots remain.

Yet, we still have would-be prophets hanging out on internet forums (instead of street
corners) spouting their ill-informed BS. It's annoying to hear one after another say that
"nothing can happen until we have a vaccine." What nonsense. WE MAY NEVER DEVELOP
ONE. We still don't have one for HIV/AIDS, and several other fatal ailments. But we don't
shut down our entire country because of this fact.

How about giving it a rest, and letting those in charge of these professional and amateur
sports leagues make decisions on their own?

**cybersharp** · 05-12-20, 09:49 AM

Oh, and one more thing: Can we give a well-deserved rest to that silly-assed
mantra that goes something like this:

"As soon as ONE PLAYER TESTS POSITIVE, they'll have to shut it all down!"

Really? Says who?

Why not just follow the usual protocols for highly-infectious diseases -- isolating
the infected individuals and treating them?....Along with IMMEDIATE testing of
anyone living/working/etc. with the stricken player? Seems to make perfect
sense in ALL OTHER CASES, why not for the SuperFlu?

But of course, that doesn't take into account all the OTHER factors (and hidden
agendas?) that are at work right now, does it?

**jjgold** · 05-12-20, 10:53 AM

Every day that goes by the less likely their sports this year

**BigdaddyQH** · 05-12-20, 11:06 AM

The NCAA has all but admitted that the College Football season will not start on time, IF it starts at all. They are running out of time to get things going. Students are no closer to going back to school now that they were a month ago. It will take YEARS, not MONTHS, to get back to normal.

**johnnyvegas13** · 05-12-20, 11:16 AM

NBA not resuming imo

They will announce soon

**JIBBBY** · 05-12-20, 11:17 AM

UFC is back and working.. Setting the pathway for other sports to resume..

I'm feeling hopeful now that some other sports will begin to resume sooner then I had thought before.

Thinking sports like Tennis, Golf and maybe even MLB can begin to resume as they are distancing sports by nature. Can test them before game time like they are doing in the UFC now.
