How many cases are there in Ohio?
It’ll look like every Cleveland State Vikings home game. No fans.
So why are the refs allowed to attend? What about the commentators/play-by-play? How did the teams get there? Plane/bus? Let them do it by video/internet remotely...they could do Smash Bros instead.
Time to break out the Jonathan Swift modest proposal.
No fans for a fake made up crisis. The dems and media are desperate to get rid of Trump.
I have tickets for the tournament in Spokane WA - I expect this to be played w/o fans as well :(
I bought my tickets directly from the NCAA, but folks who bought via resale my get hosed.
NCAA should move it to a “safe” site outside Ohio.
Will this edict apply to Cavaliers games, or professional sports? Indians and Reds baseball starting soon?
Does a state governor even really have authority to ban fans from a sports event?
This is absurd (at best). Do they shut down sports attendance when we have a particularly bad year for Flu or even Pneumonia? No.
When the biggest health experts in the world are still saying panic is NOT warranted - and basically to exercise common sense on hygiene (handwashing) and not picking your nose and eating it... WHY the panic?
It’s all, I believe, a coordinated effort to not “let a good crisis go to waste”.
One of Trump’s many achievements is enabling a soaring stock market and record unemployment (in other words - a roaring economy). Along comes this virus - covered up by China until it got a good foothold in spreading. Then the world comes unhinged panic over something that is really no more dangerous than a solid cold - indeed, the Coronavirus (historically) is one of the causes of the common cold. But the world treats this as if it were the zombie apocalypse . And bingo - attack the US economy by any means possible.
I do not like the idea of government restricting my movement. It’s unconstitutional. I don’t need a nanny state. And I am completely able of making my own decisions and living or dying with the consequences.
Sheesh..
How about oldsters And immune compromised not go, and avoid younger folk till this passes? I am both, and think cancelling these things like this is a bit much.
no reason, then, to hold those games in Ohio. Can be held on campus sites.
That didn't take long. When Goldman Sachs came out and said we'd go from 8-10% growth to 0% growth I thought that was serious. Now i'm thinking the media will drive negative growth. losses.
DeWine is now crazier than Clueless Joe Biden
We need to cancel the election, voting places are too congested. Let’s give Trump a few more years until this blows over.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
