We're gonna experience the day after the MLB All Star game for at least the next 30 days, except no ESPY Awards. Life is gonna be boring. Boring would be good, actually.

At this point, teams that were planning on logo/uniform changes should just release what they have so we'll have something to talk about aside from this. Yeah, I thought this was overblown a week ago but I was wrong. Eh, I'll take being wrong over being dead. 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great time to catch up on some streaming video, read some books, play video games, etc. If your life revolves around live sports and related media, this is a great opportunity to expand your horizons. 15 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank god for sports video games I guess. I'll have to see how far I can take my expansion Seattle Pilots in the NHL for the foreseeable future. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

insert name 5,197 Posted March 12, 2020 Lot of video games coming out in the next 2 months. Got time to play them now. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seadragon76 889 Posted March 12, 2020 Well, thank god for everything else in the world because it's going to be a tough 2 and a half weeks for all sport fans out there. I'm glad that all organizations did the right thing here. This is scary stuff. This isn't like 9/11 where you had time to grieve and then play returned as a way to get back to normal. This is a very fluid situation and things are going to be worst before they get better. I do offer this for those like me that were looking forward to March Madness: It creates one of the greatest what if scenarios that I can ever think of. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mungojerry311 24 Posted March 12, 2020 Is the MLB season going to go ahead, just without fans? I haven't heard anything about that yet that I know of. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It feels very much like a natural disaster without a disaster to react and respond to. Civil society isn't set up for everyone to stay at home and avoid one another; it all only actually works if we do things like buy things from one another, get money, get taxed on that money, and so forth. I've been coping with a life without sports by watching a lot of old pro wrestling. Amazon Prime Video at one point (and maybe still does) have NBA season wrap-up videos that are fun to watch. I've got some books underway. Until my Internet gives out, I should be just fine. Ish. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corvus 386 Posted March 12, 2020 Baseball seems like the one team sport with the least physical contact between players, but they should still not play. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JayMac 3,880 Posted March 12, 2020 It will certainly be weird without sports but I don't think it will be as bad as some are making it out to be. It will be a great time to catch up on other things or maybe even invest that time into a new project. It is a complete cliché but some things are just more important than entertainment. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
