It's kinda pointless to try and complete this season as if you're going to do that before the next season is supposed to start. Hell, I'm beginning to think that there will be no North American sports in 2020. UFC is starting back up this weekend. NASCAR is starting back up soon. PGA returns next month.

-kj Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 That seems like crazy talk to me. I presume they're all going without crowds. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Golf really doesn't need crowds though and they pretty much practice social distancing before it even was a thing. Crowds in golf I think provide too much of a distraction for the golfers so they don't need crowds. All systems are go with the UFC this weekend. The event will be sanctioned and televised on ESPN+. There will be no hiccups for UFC 249 this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I've been an optimist through most of this mess so take my opinion with a grain of salt just like everyone else's but baseball will be back and football will start without much of a hiccup. By I agree with @-kj on the winter sports, the NBA and NHL should call it a season and forget coming back until the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how long UFC lasts. Same with NASCAR. The latter at least has some inherent socially distant aspects, but it also has a ton that isn't. UFC... well that's just a disaster waiting to happen. But given how leveraged UFC is they don't really have any choice. PGA... ok yeah golf being the most socially distanced sport you can play by default means it not only should come back, it probably didn't need to shut down completely in the first place.

Berlin Wall Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I don't think it was mentioned yet, but the Bundesliga will start again next week. Of course, there will be no people in the stadiums. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I guess as long as the golfers and caddies wear gloves at all times they should be ok. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not much of a choice. Bundesliga is supposedly in the same boat with up to 13 teams that would have to declare whatever the Germans call bankruptcy if the season doesn’t resume. Many of these leagues are and will be coming back earlier than they should because if they don’t they aren’t coming back at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie met with (or is currently meeting with as of posting time) Canada’s finance committee as part of the panel of arts, culture and sports organizations. The CFL had already asked the government for up to $150 million dollars in a loan-type agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to figure out television, whether or not to use cameramen or use drones. Also they would need to separate the announcers, although they could use news broadcasts as a template on how to do that. I don't watch PGA, so I don't know if they still use caddies.

It is a loan. This is not just about a sports league. It is about preserving a game that is part of our Canadian heritage. I just want to hear that they have been given the green light to receive the money and It would help me relax a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
