Do you believe that fans that could have been ~150 - 200 feet away from a COVID-19 + player could be infected?
But other players can get infected etc
5 feet at a time, my FRiend, 5 feet at a time...and then of course there are the other players, refs, coaches, restaurants, hotels, airports, airplanes...etc...
The big $$$ seats are directly court side. Literally 3 feet from the sideline. More seats are directly behind the bench, close enough to give the players a backrub. These seats are filled with celebrities, athletes and millionaires, and most of these people attend every single game. The players know them. High fives, "good game pats", hugs, handshakes and other interactions are pretty commonplace. The blue collar seats are safe enough (and anyone more than a couple rows back), but I don't think anyone is saying the whole coliseum is going to be infected.
