They might have to shut baseball down.

And again, you're wrong

Everything from golf, tennis to soccer are back

It has nothing to do with stupidity...it has to do with what if there is no vaccine....what if it takes three or four years

You're going to stay in your house for four years?
ANOTHER of the hopeful.... I don't have to stay in the house if there's no vaccine.... just avoid large crowds.... think before you type.... they're not going to be able to pull this off.... and if for some strange reason this is what you think sports being back is???

Avoiding large crowds. :lol:


It just takes one person.
 
the KBO played more than 60 games no outbreak
all MLB had to do is follow their example

Not exactly.
South Korea handled Covid remarkably better than the U.S., and were able to minamalize the spread of the virus. That led to the KBO having a MUCH safer environment to operate in. Players and team staff from both organizations are following similar protocols, it's just that the people our players come in contact with(flight crew,hotel staff, ballpark staff, etc.) are more likely to be infected than those in Korea. Not only did we drop the ball on Covid initially, but now they want these teams to travel and come into contact with 100s of people at a time when the virus is spreading at it's highest rate yet. This makes absolutely no sense.
 
My point is, what if this virus isn’t going anywhere? Then what? It may may at some point be less lethal or more contained. But what if it’s still fairly contagious? Im done.

People don't seem to understand this

Some viruses never get a vaccine

The seasonal flu mutates where we have one hoping it will help

and still a lot of times it takes a couple of years. This a year to have a vaccine is wishful thinking.
 
If the vaccine doesn't work out and the virus sticks around as it is now.... and leagues want to try to play... players would have to make the decision to risk it or not... and owners would have to make the decision to keep the shop open or not.

Also, the leauge's legal counsel and the legal counsel for each team would probably want some beefed up indemnity clauses, because eventually somebody is gonna get it and transmit it to a family member and that family member is going to be one of the ones that has a really bad experience (longer term lung damage or death), and somebody is gonna sue.

Yep, Korea did everything correctly from the start and they're pretty much in the clear now.
They locked down the country, tested damn near everyone and mandated that everyone wear masks.
Meanwhile here, half the people in the country still think this whole thing is fake, refuse to wear masks, and show up armed to state capitol buildings demanding that everything open up immediately. SMH
 
If they can’t afford to miss one season, with all the money floating around, something is very wrong. They need to have an investigation. Most of these owners are worth an average of 2 billion, a few of them three, and even some are at 4. They can afford to pay players for one season.
It's greed in the end. No investigation is needed.
Billionaires will never make enough to be happy and satisfied.
They're all in competition with each other to see who can make the most money.
 
I don’t think it’s all about money; I think it’s about getting back to normalcy too. How long should people avoid this?
Capitalistic society.. It's always about the money... 60 game season don't even make sense.. Just cancel the bitch and wait til 2021... But corporate greed wasn't going to let that happen.. They wanted to make money at all cost now look what's happening

But,this aint the flu though.I don't understand,why people keep trying to compare COVID-19 to the flu that's been around for atleast 500 years now. At least,with the flu we have an ideal what strain that's need to be vaccinated. You have doctors that don't even know if COVID-19 is seasonal or not because it's new.

There's six current mutations of COVID-19 and the newest one is more contagious than the other five. And, people seem to forget the ramifications of a person's health in the future after getting it treated.
 
MLB is the only North American sport not in a bubble set up so far. Top Rank Boxing has bubble at MGM resort on Vegas Strip, PBC Boxing will set up a bubble at Mohegan Sun in CT, UFC has bubbles in Vegas and Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, MLS bubble is Orlando just like NBA. NHL has 2 bubbles set up in Canada. Supercross, PLL, NWSL are bubbled in Utah. WWE which isn't a sport but sports entertainment is also bubbled in Orlando

It's not full-proof because it all depends on human behavior. However, at least the NBA isolated the entire league. The other leagues haven't done any significant risk-mitigation changes. They're just testing.
