California Governor Gavin Newsom chided pro sports for not taking coronavirus seriously enough. The leagues have barred media from locker rooms, but they haven’t addressed the threat to fans, he said.

“I’ve found it quite curious that the four major organizations -- NHL, soccer, Major League Baseball and the NBA -- put out guidelines to protect their players but not their fans,” he said at a press conference Tuesday.

 

All about them Benjamins

We are in as bad shape as them.  I don't know what this will solve.

Golden State Warriors to play first NBA game without fans after San Fran bans large crowds due to coronavirus fears

Yes, but it's okay to have poop, pee, vomit, and used syringes just laying around.  And the homeless sleeping in doorways with their dogs.

I always found it peculiar that organizations will always say 'health and safety' first.  And yet, they sell alcohol and hot dogs and other garbage.  Alcohol must be so safe that they will just keep selling it and if you drive, tough luck to you and the people you might kill on the way home.  Not to mention the damage that is being done to your liver.

And hot dogs? Only God knows what's in those things.  May as well just eat the leftover garbage in the can.

Don't mention hot dogs around here.  People will get upset.

Hot dogs are basically just low quality sausage.  Don't see what the big deal is.

How about some good news for a change in this thread?  God forbid things get back to normal.  It would really kill the shock and awe narrative full of doom and gloom.

Take awhile but normal maybe in a few months.But very bumpy for small businesses and even cities and counties that get an entertainment tax.Ugly few weeks.

All we have to do is do what China did. Shut down the country for 2  1/2 months, weld people into their homes, sanitize the country Ans nobody can come out until virus is gone.  And here you are saying you won’t make any changes to your routine.

    • Loved seeing Eloy's enthusiasm at joining the team over the summer, but yeah it was way past time for this.  I didn't realize he still had options remaining, so I guess he's still around for a 'break glass in case of emergency' moment - hopefully he's done for the year though.  And declining the option is beyond a no-brainer, so that is in all likelihood it for Eloy as an O.
    • I've been fired up every day since my divorce hearing on 11/12/19. The third best day of my life. In all seriousness, life is good. Remember the 15 straight losing seasons? They're not perfect, but today is a new day and yesterday doesn't matter. Westburg, Urias, et. al. have returned, our BP is stronger and we have our best 3 SP set to go this series. We're 6-4 versus them this year, including taking 2/3 last time we were in NY. Pick your heads up a little bit. Will they win the WS? No, I don't think so. But guess what??! They've got a chance! I was at the game Sunday, and I'll be tuned in to every inning of the last 6 games. LFG.  
    • I don't think there is any way to be a sport's fan and not require some form of therapy. For me, OH is my therapy center. If you invest any part of your being in a sport's team, there is no prescription for tranquility. You just have to come to a strategy that best allows you to follow your team. Mine for the most part is to walk away and turn it off. Wife gets mad at me because I won't keep watching a game when we are losing or playing poorly. Says I'm not a real fan. She's probably right but I don't view watching poor performance of any kind as a good use of time. I also don't get too much into second guessing or modern statistical analysis. Not interested in coulda - woulda - shoulda and though I am awed by all the data, it's just too much for me to digest and use. I let you all do that for me. If I think it's over the top I may say something but mostly enjoy the read. In this way, OH has helped me get through the down years and the good ones too. And it's also great in between.  So, in some fashion, we are all addicted to a game - a team. The trick is to remember this is entertainment - not life. And that can be hard. Now beat the Damn Yankees and make me feel better cause the way you've been playing is killing me 😄!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • This was the correct choice, glad to see them make it.
    • How about..." we wont win another game in the regular season"?
