I agree. I don't see how they make it to Mid August, let alone the next couple of months....
And not just for what will be their "official" reason (covid), but that they are losing money with no live gate.
I was hopeful that the NFL would figure out some kind of bubble system but I just don't see it happening. For us football junkies, though, what's happening now with baseball may be a good thing since it MIGHT just open up the eyes of the NFL decision-makers. I'm doubtful it'll do anything. I don't see them getting through the season either.
And we’re off....!JaxBill said:
Its not crazy.
Ohio State is planning on 20% capacity in the Shoe this year. The governor was asked about it at his press conference today and he said he had not heard that yet. He then basically said there is little chance of that happening.
Putting money ahead of the health and welfare of students/people is crazy to me. It's also crazy to me that the financial stability of schools is so dependent on football programs. Something is really, fundamentally wrong there.
I don't think that the schools are "dependent" on the program - but the program is dependent on the TV/sponsorship/attendance revenue.
I understand what you're saying , but the bolded statements indicate it's not a zero overall impact thing, where it should be. Maybe dependency isn't the best word choice for the relationship, but the football program is impacting the overall school finances to the detriment of the students in this case. For example, would it happen in a South Korean university to for it to be in a situation where because they can't have a baseball season they're going to have to cut other expenses or raise tuition/R&B/fees?
Exactly. You could build a building that will withstand any earthquake possible or build a car that would protect the occupants from any injury in an accident but the costs outweigh the "benefit". Everything is a give and take and it's up to the business to decide where to draw the line.
Matt Davidson of the Reds. Mike Moustakas and Nick Senzel are suspected since they are out sick.
In your friends defense, they did say this on PTI. 29 teams with no positive cases today.
The Phillies' TV personalities -- and the Phillies message board I'm on -- have called him that for years.
Ah, okay. That's fair then. I just thought it was one of those chummy nicknames the suits give themselves to appeal more to the everyman. If not, then carry on.
Because their countries aren't raging with the virus because they followed science and did track and trace. I mean, that's pretty much the uncomfortable truth we're dealing with here. We let everything get in the way of that.
Because "Freedom", "'Murica" and the fact that wearing a mask is now somehow linked to what party you vote for.
They’re in great shape and even if they get a few small outbreaks the numbers are so small they can track and trace. We are a dumpster fire and an embarrassment.
Not disagreeing with that but to say we would've been done with this thing isn't true either unless everyone thinks Europe is done with it
