(43,232 posts)I still don't know what they are thinking with the Marlins. They just cancelled their entire week of games. Do they intend to make up those games at some unspecified later date in an already shortened season?
I love baseball with a deep passion. No better sport than it.
But it just shouldn't happen this year.

(17,865 posts)If baseball can't pull it off, I don't see how football can do it.
Three weeks and the students start returning to campus. NCAA football also seems like a pipe dream.

Same thing for college sports. Everything will have to go on hold.

(29,322 posts)The bubble thing is the only way sports can work.
MLS and NBA, too. They're basically playing in a big quarantine. They all went in testing negative, and they're remaining that way, with a couple of NBA exceptions. So far, so good. Knock on wood. Not sure about those two, but the NHL has hefty fines for anyone who violates the "bubble" rules. They have daily testing, and I am assuming that testing in Canada is a lot more reliable than it is in the US. My only complaint is that they're not being made to wear full face shields during play, but if the bubble remains intact, it probably won't matter, anyway.
