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.
