1. Be sure and add all the athletes getting sick and still sending kids to school to your "novel".

4. It does get crazier by the day

2. Cant wait to see how long it takes to blame the Marlins for this one.

3. How is any of this a good idea in our current climate?

I just cannot figure out how pretending we've managed the virus better than we have, like some other countries, makes anything good? We're not on the same trajectory at this point as European countries who are getting to enjoy some more normal pastimes. We need to fix this and then we can have, and enjoy, our things again.

We have a lot of work to do, we're not even close to being OK here at this moment. We need to accept reality, and stop getting people sick for absolutely no good reason. This makes my heart sad to read.

5. Yep. This experiment has failed.

6. I agree.

Yet we're not even close to changing course. It's like a train wreck you can't look away from... except every single American is on the train.

8. Too true

7. The NFL is so desperate to have games so they can keep the revenue coming in...

And it is so clearly the socially irresponsible thing to do.

NFL is particularly fraught because of the size of the teams/staffs. More than 2X as big as MLB, more than 4X as big as NBA.

9. It's always about the money, innit? nt

10. NHL and NBA did it right by having the bubble setup.

I believe this was rejected by MLBPA and not sure if it has been considered by the NFL.
