theyre just tryin to catch up in the delusional game

Trumpists only care about NFL, NASCAR

this is silly right? obviously these major sports want to return to normal bc their raison d'être is playing sports not bc they are hoping trump wins. maybe they even do collectively hope he wins but why would that be on their mind when it comes to reopening their businesses.

i'm actually kinda surprised in this take from zirin i thought he was more of a lefty guy but this take reeks of #resistance hysteria

lol if only the XFL could've figured out how to do live sports during a pandemic

frogbs, Thursday, 7 May 2020 18:00 (six years ago)

watch what happens starting in mid-August, i'd say

brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 7 May 2020 18:13 (six years ago)

they want to return to normal because they stand to lose billions in tv revenue. that is the only story here.

surely the NFLPA will object to unsafe working conditions

brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 7 May 2020 18:16 (six years ago)

virus isn't too much worse than their regular unsafe working conditions

14 at Kansas State. I guess one way to have football in the fall is to expose all the players in the summer.

stick to trading your entire draft for one guy, Mikey

Is there a thread to talk about what a complete and total piece of anti-Semite shit former Chiefs RB Larry Johnson is?

Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 2 August 2020 19:59 (five years ago)

I am starting to doubt that this season is gonna happen

frogbs, Sunday, 2 August 2020 21:34 (five years ago)

The NFL owners would just declare massive losses and write them off their taxes over half a decade or so. The players would take massive losses, too, but for most of them it would be lost salary, not business losses. If it cut into the NFLPA pension fund, that might hurt the most vulnerable of ex-players. Since I'm not a fan, for me it's not about missing the games. I wouldn't.

the Packers' decision not to draft a WR makes more sense now, just grab one next year

frogbs, Monday, 3 August 2020 20:36 (five years ago)

DP was told an hour ago that the Big 10 and Pac 12 will cancel their football seasons tomorrow... The ACC and the Big 12 are on the fence.. And the SEC is trying to get teams to join them for a season.

ums I feel like you're being sarcastic perhaps YOU have a better explanation ?!??

frogbs, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 21:26 (five years ago)

they are dumb and had a bad draft

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 11 August 2020 21:31 (five years ago)

I guess there is too much money involved to just scratch the whole season, but I have a hard time seeing how a spring season is going to work out. Even if the pandemic is over by then, which is very doubtful, the logistics and impacts on other sports seems a huge hurdle to overcome.

soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 11 August 2020 21:38 (five years ago)

impacts on other sports?

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 11 August 2020 21:40 (five years ago)

Overlapping with March Madness, draft eligible players sitting out, scheduling around the other events, etc.

soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 11 August 2020 21:41 (five years ago)

I mean, none of those are insurmountable, but I feel like it's not nearly as simple as waving a hand and saying "we'll play in the spring instead".

soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 11 August 2020 21:42 (five years ago)

yeah agreed but there's so much money at stake they'll fuck over whoever or any other sports
