I just don't see it. One player tests positive and chain reaction begins again.

Golf and Tennis might be the only sports safe to play for the next year.

Ya, team sports could be screwed until a vaccine is developed.
The international effort in that regard, right now, is unprecedented.
I'm hopeful...

NFL is going to play , very confident.

**Enkhbat** · 05-09-20, 02:27 AM

German football is coming back soon, NFL is definitely playing, maybe be postponed 2-4 weeks.

**Bcatswin** · 05-09-20, 02:27 AM

NBA will def have fans. As will the NFL

**manny24** · 05-09-20, 03:07 AM

over/ under 2 guys taking a knee in NFL this season

Based on what? It sounds like many of the players are sceptical of playing even without fans during this pandemic. Even Marc Cuban said he will absolutely not open the practice facility until it's safe.

sports can happen, leagues just take a hit on sponsership...

had it comin to them

**jjgold** · 05-09-20, 05:36 AM

They have to play or go bankrupt

It will never end if they do not play

**Roscoe_Word** · 05-09-20, 05:39 AM

IMO;

NHL = Will start next season on time (fan attendance limited to 50%)
NBA = Same as NHL
NFL=Same
MLB = Start spring training in June; regular season in July (no fan attendance)
Coll Foot = I'm clueless

**Roscoe_Word** · 05-09-20, 06:04 AM

One more optimistic note: I just got an email from the gym, at least saying "when we open please use social distancing on the treadmills."

I took it that an opening might be coming soon, along with banks re-opening as well.

**daneblazer** · 05-09-20, 07:02 AM

I think they will try. It will probably be a mess.

**Hman** · 05-09-20, 07:05 AM

I don't think there's any reason all sports shouldn't resume soon without fans.

The players and their families just need to be responsible at home and teams should lay down some rules & restrictions.

Germany has the virus under control. Nothing can compare to German efficiency.

that is common consensus

**capitalist pig** · 05-09-20, 08:21 AM

NBA and NHL are getting less likely everyday they refuse to take a stand and play
MLB seems to want to do something this Summer
NFL seems to still be on track to start season as normal
College sports not likely

If any sports plan on shutting back down if they have players test positive, they may as well just not even start seasons, because there are going to be people testing positive forever or till a vaccine is made,jmo

later

**slayer14** · 05-09-20, 08:28 AM

Mlb players refused to play in Arizona so it unlikely they going to start until everything cleared in country

**Hot Jerry** · 05-09-20, 08:31 AM

100 % sure they they start ASAP , because they need the TV revenues . Lil income [ TV ] for all those clubs is better then no income at all .

Time for these overpaid prima donnas to get off their asses and move forward with their patriotic duty of bringing normality back to this country. Players talking about they don't want to be away from their families. You're going to have the rest of your fukking lives to be around your families when you retire at 35 with an overloaded bank account. Give Vince McMahon a call and ask him how he's been able to keep this going during the entire pandemic period with no hiccups.

**slayer14** · 05-09-20, 08:45 AM

No chance mlb start until the country is cleared from this deadly virus.

This

Other sports should resume but I could also see them calling it if it don't happen by June

**johnnyvegas13** · 05-09-20, 08:46 AM

I mean July

**captrobey** · 05-09-20, 08:47 AM

WNBA will play . Because zero fans is what they had before anyways.

**Booya711** · 05-09-20, 09:07 AM

the only winners due to this pandemic are the Houston Astros

**thetrinity** · 05-09-20, 09:31 AM

I heard the mlb plan, but they will be the hardest to resume. They need fans in the stands. Plus it hasn’t even started too many games with too many players.

NBA is making excuses.

NHL same boat as NBa.

NFL should be the easiest to play I would think.

NBA/nhl need to go straight to a playoff with 20 or 24 teams. No point in bringing back the bottom feeders.

At this point, I only think the nfl may resume.

I would be fine if nba nhl had their tournament in a few months and started after the first of the year the new season (shortened of course)

College sports may as well kiss goodbye for now

When the leagues start implementing significant pay cuts to players, suddenly the players will want to try to play..

**JohnGalt2341** · 05-09-20, 09:48 AM

Team sports, 1% for anytime in 2020. I think the chances of any NFL games being played this year are slim to none.

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.

**slayer14** · 05-09-20, 09:59 AM

WWE in billions of dollars of debt cause of the deadly virus

Boxing, MMA and Tennis are still having problems resuming now.

So not confident at all NBA, NFL and NHL are any where close to resuming.. Those are contact in your face team sports.. A year away probably.

MLB might have a chance though..

**GUMMO77** · 05-09-20, 12:22 PM

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

That's one thing I don't understand.
