NBA Suspends Season - remaining games cancelled.

[bighat]

Any chance MLB starts on time? Are we going to be looking at a cancelled season?

 

I'm concerned about the virus like everyone. But sticking to sports, I'm feeling very concerned that the MLB will start on time, and worried we could be looking at a lost season.

 

If I were a betting man, I'd say it will push the start date back to June 1 or something.

I tend to agree. i think we'll have a condensed season but we will see.

They need to decide soon, so the players can prepare themselves properly.  But suspending everything tomorrow would be a good start, and then decide when or whether to start the games.

I dont think the owners would go for it but I would love to see the baseball games played some how some way even if fans werent allowed in stadiums

I think playing the games without fans would be the way to go, but if they do here what Italy has done? Eh ... I'm reconsidering my trip to Florida next week.

A second Jazz player returned a positive test.

 

The way the first player reacted, being apparently healthy and asymptomatic and acting out in anger, I’m going to guess that the team (or whoever) released the results without the player’s permission, and wouldn’t that be a breach of confidentiality? Helps me to speculate that these sports teams/leagues aren’t necessarily handling this properly.

Confidentiality should be kept. Absolutely agree ... unless there is a known danger, but then it should be kept within a certain circle, imo, i.e. within the team itself and not in public as to who. But how do you think they should this be handled in terms of suspending the seasons or not?

You’re asking me?

 

The NBA season was almost over (about 80% complete) and to boot, playoff spots weren’t really up for grabs either. MLB is in a different spot.
