Gonna quote myself, writing on June 22 amid a wave of reports of pro and college athletes contracting COVID during preseason training: “I fear we’re headed for a future in which the various leagues press on towards resuming play despite the many warning signs, determined to do their best to give Americans something to cheer, and then there’s an outbreak on a team like four games in and the whole season is immediately called off.”

How many have actual symptoms?
I didn’t even notice they started the season.
Wasn’t there a post the other day that people can test positive without having an active infection per the CDC?
Surprised it took that long.
Rub some dirt on it.
As I posted on the earlier thread: I was thinking I might see a story like this today. Having baseball back over the weekend (listening to my favorite announcers on the radio — no kneeling!) made me feel just a bit more “normal.” And the Powers that Be on the Left just HAVE to keep “the fear” going until the election. Anything that makes people feel “normal” is verboten.
I guess the teams will need to kneel at home...
Yankees at Phillies just canceled their game tonight.
Talked to many nurses who say there are so many false positive cases being reported. Makes me think the test kits are useless. Maybe on purpose...
MLB is less worried about COVID than BLM.
This is a handy, gutless way to deal with the kneelers.
Manfred, the baseball commish, will have no choice but to cancel the season now, I’m afraid. Three or four games in.
Who cares,,,,,Let the Bastards get on their knees and stay there.
Pfffft, let them get real jobs.
After all their virtue signaling, I am, no longer interested in pro sports.
Sounds suspicious
These players are young ,may or may not experience some symptoms but are not likely to become seriously ill or die. Yet the panic and publicity will be fodder for the MSM and the marxists. Strongly suspect they will cancel the season. Too bad for the BLM Red Soxs and their fans. Won’t miss it. Bye.
Shut down the anti-American MLB. Never start it back up. It is not entertaining to see hateful, loathing, millionaires that detest America, detest Americans, and are themselves racist - proven by their black power fist, the kneeling disrespect, or at a minimum the condoning of it.
I had given up the MLB in the 1970s, NBA in the 1980s, NFL in the 1990s, auto racing in the 2000s. I had just started watching a game or two of MLB in the past few years. Now, I’m back to zero going forward and I won’t look back.
I have started watching IMSA racing. So far, they haven’t gone marxist like noosecar and F1.
New Discovery: Kneeling causes CCP virus test being positive. Suggest mooning the fans would have a better medical outcome for the wanna be protesters.
I remember just 18 months ago, I was debating with a friend that for a billionaire, buying a “top 4 league” professional sports franchise was probably the best guaranteed investment imaginable for a super-rich person. Top sports leagues offer a monopolist position, great cultural and historical interest, government paying for building and maintaining stadiums, colleges and others feeding you new talent for free, huge TV contracts, etc…
Besides their own self-inflicted wounds by getting involved with racial politics, Covid-19 has once again proven that nothing in this world is guaranteed!
Let’s just go right to a 30-team playoffs. Play the games on XBox or something. :-P
