I was suicidally depressed after federer blew those match points at wimbledon last year and to see Djokovic insert himself into the plague narrative like this is really surreal
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 24 June 2020 00:16 (three years ago) link
Would Djokovic even make 50% of his free throws? If not, then he can go to hell. I don't care.

At forefront of Bradley’s decision to remain w/ his family is the well-being of the oldest of his 3 children. His 6-year old son has a history of struggling to recover from respiratory illnesses and would’ve been unlikely to be medically cleared to enter bubble with his family. https://t.co/yputDg2VJp— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 24, 2020

i'm still trying to figure out the exact event that would cause them to stop.
disneyworld should certainly not open to the public, but the nba isn't the public.

I also worry about the nba starting up as a bad signal to an already just dying America: hey sports are back! Things are fine! no virus! As you were! not that that’s what they’d intend but, well, you know

Sports might help people pass the time at home and feel less crazy. It would be nice if they could make it work in a reasonable way

i was feeling good about the nba plan until the disastrous last few days in the sun belt. i think the plan is still reasonable, but it might end up out of their control.

You realize COVID-19 has spread to pretty much every populated island, including places as remote as Easter Island (aka Rapa-Nui)? This virus gets around.

Golf is proceeding but every golfer is a republican so it’s probably easier to convince them that germs aren’t real

golf can be very socially distanced if you want it to be, no shared equipment either.

Can't wait for Adam Silver to spin how sincerely he supports players efforts to simultaneously play and protest/speak out about the pressing issue of police brutality and corruption and racism in militarized US law enforcement agencies... as he conscripts everyone from local Florida mall cops to apparently even Delta Force commandos to keep them locked in Disney World with no reprieve like it's Escape from New York. While the DHS is personally tracking and monitoring every single thing they post to social media while they're stuck there. Wonderful optics all around lmao

It's hard to blame the NBA for trying to restart when states everywhere are reopening willy-nilly in spite of the obvious dangers to their populations, ensuring that hundreds of thousands more Americans will die. The public wants sports, there is money to be made, and they'll be damned if they are going to stand outside the zeitgeist.
