After hearing that NBA players had it, the college players were part of the driving force to cancel.
...and then the teams can fight to the death at the end so they dont spread the contamination from the arena. Cool!
You dont want them laying all over each other, sweating and coughing.
Basketball gets nasty under the basket. Not exactly a hygienic sport.
Yeah there’s a bad idea. Remember it’s not just the game, it’s the practice and coaching. One sick player turns into a sick team, then they take it home, then grampa dies. Leave it alone folks.
I understand cancelling baseball, which stilll makes most money at the gate. But bring back NCAA!!!!
Meh. Test them.
That sounds like a typical NBA game.
Oh, I just love sports addicts! Doesnt make any difference at all that were facing what the Chinese, Italians, Iranians, Germans at al have - just have to have their sports!
Tell you what: find a ball, go to a park nearby and play your heart out.
THIS. I think they were ready to stop playing. Cant say I blame them.
But this way Virginia is still the reigning National Champion. (and in Lacrosse too!)
ML/NJ
I agree.
GO TERPS!
Yup. Sure do.
Don’t you feel like an idiot for trying to guilt-shame someone here?
Put a sock in it.
I’m sure you must know that our society is not the same healthwise as the Italians, Iranians, Germans, or Chinese. Therefore, the risk is not the same.
UVA! Wahoo Wah!
So youd risk your precious « sports heroes » just get your jollies watching them play for your entertainment? Arent you the sick one!
you know what you can do with your sock.
I’ll put them on, thank you very much.
Italian population has a higher percentage of elderly, higher percentage of smokers, and a cultural facet of grandparents being visited often by grandchildren. A large Chinese population, in addition.
Iran - I think there is a significant Chinese population in/around Qom IIRC from what I have read here.
China actively tried hiding this for several weeks before they couldn’t anymore.
Not sure about the Germans, other than large population of immigrants.
All of which you would know if you had been paying attention. All detailed here on FR.
Now go hide under your bed.
BS, what college player is infected?
Name them.
College teams are the NBA minor league, the farm teams. If the pros can’t be subjected to the possibility of danger, there ain’t no way their up & coming replacements are going to give it a whirl.
