We may be done with sports this year

**asiagambler** · 03-17-20, 07:26 PM

Too much uncertainty, that's the problem. If it becomes more evident that it's not really a danger to anyone under 60 then public sentiment can shift quickly

**Brock Landers** · 03-17-20, 07:27 PM

Yes

If we have NFL in the fall, that's the luck of the dice

No chance in hell the others restart or start at all

Olympics, gone

**jjgold** · 03-17-20, 07:28 PM

Relax

**funnyb25** · 03-17-20, 07:31 PM

I am just glad Chile Primera B don't give a fuk

**johnnyvegas13** · 03-17-20, 07:34 PM

Strongly disagree

**daneblazer** · 03-17-20, 07:39 PM

We have a very communal population with many old people and a large percentage of fat people. A chunk of the population thinks this is a hoax while a significant percentage just doesn’t care. The virus is going to do a number on us. We’ll stop the exponential spread with these quarantines and social distancing but it will be spread out longer. Sports will pay the price.

**JIBBBY** · 03-17-20, 07:40 PM

I'm done I know that until American Pro sports come back online...

I officially retire mang from any more sports gambling period as of today! Will not log on to books period anymore.. I will not lose my shiiit to Euro soccer and horse racing.. Not on my watch..

Not sure that it's that a significant don't care. I just think a significant realize there isn't a whole lot there can be done about it. Do all the normal shit that people think just got invented last week, like don't cough or sneeze on people, wash your hands, yada yada. If you're gonna get it, you're gonna get it. Why stress it? It's like flying on an airplane freaking out the entire time if it's going to crash or not. If the fuker wants to go down, it's gonna go down. Putting your seatbelt on, or losing 10 pounds aint gonna fix it.

**seaborneq** · 03-17-20, 07:50 PM

Message should have been you’re going to get it but you’re not going to die. Now its like having the scarlet letter. Latest testing now requires registering with the health department and CDC and requiring two negative succeeding tests to be clear to return to work or action. Lots of players will not be able to return to action when they get it, so that’s going to happen a lot, just depends on how the leagues treat it

**Mike Huntertz** · 03-17-20, 07:50 PM

There will be no magic bullet vaccine.
They've had a 100yrs to perfect a flu vaccine with questionable results.
How do you expect it to happen for a brand new more dangerous virus in months??

**spurginobili** · 03-17-20, 07:55 PM

With more cities locking down & everyone taking precautionary measures I think it will be significantly reduced within a couple months

**carolinakid** · 03-17-20, 07:57 PM

at this time i got to say sports is one of the last things on my list, we need to get going as a country again, this is stupid to what we have in our normal life today

**carolinakid** · 03-17-20, 07:58 PM

hell im going to get up early and going to the grocery store at 7am on wed here, this is getting stupid

**Mr KLC** · 03-17-20, 07:58 PM

**Mike Huntertz** · 03-17-20, 08:07 PM

Totally hope you're right but they have just begun testing.....the results will not be pretty.

NBA NHL and MLB are toast. If any of these leagues try to play, they’ll suspend play the moment a player is positive. If this thing stretches into August NFL and College football may be in trouble too. What’s going to happen if a player is positive in CFB or NFL? They’re going to shut it down.

dude you are too negative

go watch a funny movie, eat some cheetos, smoke some pot and drink a beer

good point.

as people see others survive, it becomes less scary.

as people see others with min symptoms, it becomes less scary.

the key is making this accepted as just another viurs like the flu.

**gojetsgomoxies** · 03-17-20, 09:52 PM

i was wondering if high risk people can be absolutely locked down and everyone else do a moderate lock-down (whatever that means)

UK medical advisors to PM say 18 month lockdown probably necessary...... yikes

**jjgold** · 03-17-20, 09:55 PM

Whatever happens happens

Bear will you renew your pro status if there’s no sports to bet on?

yeah I don’t see why not

we will have sports again

just an over reaction by the media

that’s why you should try the negativity diet by grant cardone

no newspaper
no tv
no news on the internet
no gossip
no negative thoughts
no negative words
no negative actions

try it for 24 hours

most people can’t pull it off

Football hasn’t been immune from coronavirus-forced cancelations, but college football and the NFL, obviously, haven’t canceled any games. And while the season is still five months away, there’s a titch of concern.“Spoken to numerous #CFB Power 5 coaches in the last week. There is genuine concern that the CoVid timetable may eliminate the 2020 season,” Matt Hayes tweeted on Thursday.“It's important to note that some sort of postponement, perhaps until deeper into October or longer, if not an outright cancelation of the season is in play for all fall sports, including football,” wrote Paul Myerberg on Saturday.

An epidemiologist in charge of modelling the future for Ontario(Canada's most populous province) sees schools closed for 18 months or more.

**Art Vandelay** · 03-21-20, 04:05 PM

We are now supposed to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people - Can't imagine 80,000+ fans packed like sardines in a domed stadium anytime in 2020...

**pavyracer** · 03-21-20, 04:11 PM

We will be stuck in our houses until a vaccine is made or Trump is removed from office.

Only remote possibility will be with no fans. No fans for 2020 but possible NFL. NHL and NBA plus all college sports for 2020 are done

**5mike5** · 03-21-20, 04:18 PM

I think NASCAR with no fans could happen by summer

Team sports i am not optimistic for 2020

**jjgold** · 03-21-20, 05:46 PM

When will it end what happens in 2021 when a player gets corona you’re going to call off the season this is silly

Aging pretty well but they are trying at least to bring most back but far from happening yet. Football seems like a Longshot
