    I think sports is going to lose some appeal with no fans in the stands

    I think ratings are going to be lower not higher


    Games are going to be played in silence which are going to have an effect on interest

    Ratings will be high if we’re still locked in our houses.

    I knew these assholes were self absorbed but Jesus Christ, to think we want to see them play horse during a pandemic is just beyond comprehension.

    They can add artificial sound in the background like they do for golf when they add birds singing.

    motivation of players will be much lower

    So with everyone trapped inside their house going fokken bonkers, ratings will be lower than when people were out working, shopping, hitting the gym, at the beach, movie theater, vacationing.


    Got it.

    A good point made with bases many games nobody there anyway

    Tennis, Golf, Bases very little impact
