But instead they chose to play russian roulette with COVID-19. And this is why American can't have nice things. Thanks sun belt! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know it's bad when both Arizonas make the list. You get that the virus is everywhere, right? It's entirely possible the the Marlins were infected in Philadelphia. Point being, there is nowhere to hide from this thing. Some states are worse than others, but the risk exists in all 50. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UnclearInitial 1,467 Posted July 27 How in the world did they not have a protocol in place in case this situation arose and decided that the players deciding for themselves would be a good idea? I guess not unprecedented, but still embarrassingly stupid 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn, I thought we weren't supposed to talk about the second Arizona. I kind of want to make "The Second Arizona" a GToV entrant. Noted. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GDAWG 1,641 Posted July 27 26 minutes ago, AustinFromBoston said: Just cancel the MLB & NFL season this year. It’s clear that only the NBA & NHL give a crap (or at least trying to). if they cared, they would have banned teams from California, Arizona, Texas, and Arizona, and work to find replacement arenas for those teams in less volatile states. But instead they chose to play russian roulette with COVID-19. The NHL has a good chance to finish. They are playing in Canada, a country which has done a great job of containment with the virus. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, but the point is you shouldn’t be playing in states that have higher risk than others. Players have a better chance of catching it in Florida or Texas, than New York or Boston. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seadragon76 797 Posted July 27 I thought it would much longer before an outbreak happened... but not even four days into the season? That's record breaking speed on MLB's part. Bravo.. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
