This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The Today, Explained podcast has a short piece on this by Irish Warrior

they explained that their are different ways to do it, 1) get a handle on the pandemic and then gradually bring sports back, without fans and 2) let the pandemic run rampant, with no handle on anything and try to create an impossible bubble for athletes when the world around them isn't close to normal. There were 2 examples given, one was the Korean baseball league and the other was the NBA. Can you guess which was which.

The podcast brought up a lot of stuff that I haven't heard mentioned. Even with the NBA having a few hundred athletes, coaches and support staff, doing everything at Disney will help. But, because of all the other people cooking food, cleaning and changing bedding, etc. it amounts to over 1,000 people in a "bubble". Most of these people will not be tested and inevitably it will bring the virus into the "bubble". They only mentioned the NBA and I think that's telling because the NFL wants to include fans, same with college football. You look at that example and you wonder how in the f*** is all that going to be safe in a little over 2 months?
