I think the season will more than likely get cancelled once virus starts to spread like a wildfire among the players. Hopefully that doesn't happen but we shall see.

I watched a live STL Cardinals baseball game that was exclusive to Facebook last season. Didn’t YouTube have some games too? |

Not looking like the fans will be let in. I paid for all my tickets to the home opener and to Miami on my credit card for the points. Going to cash those for some gift cards before they reimburse my card and try to take the points back or something. I think I’m just going to continue to buy more tickets as a savings plan for the fall and to see how many credit card points it will let me accumulate without making a real purchase when it’s all said and done. It will be a win win come September. Either I have tickets to all the games or I have a few thousand back. Both situations get me a couple hundred dollars of free amazon gift cards as well so I guess it’s a win win win.

Early results are leaning towards, if a young person does have health issues connected to covid about 1% have permanent health issues. Main permanent one is a 5% decrease in lung capacity. Not a lot of data on this because not a lot of young people had a lung capacity test pre-covid. 5% drop in lung capacity isnt going to effect anyone living a regular life. But..... As a professional player. You are in the top 99.99% of physical fitness in the world. But, your competing and getting paid millions to play against others that are also in that 99.99%. You have money. On a path to make a helluva lot more money. Do you take that risk to play this year? Would a 5% decrease in lung capacity put you at a disadvantage against those other top 99.99% athletes? |

The players have a higher risk of health issues from actually playing the game of football than getting Covid.

This is an ADDITIONAL risk. Thats why according to them, baseball players balked at the original owners offer. They wanted money for the additional risk. But, trying to grab more money in the middle of a pandemic that most are assuming that risk too, came off as greedy. |

Please don't every change that cat avatar. I skim a lot of posts. But I always read BWillie posts - because no CP poster comes remotely close to cracking me up as much.
