This is happening the FIRST weekend of MLB. What are the chances that baseball or the other pro sports will actually be able to play any thing like a scheduled though short season? What are the implications for college and high school fall football?

A friend told me that our MN Lynx basketball team stayed in their locker room during the playing of the national anthem. All but two players on the team are black. Talk about racism! Too blind to see the forest because of all the trees! The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Keep on playing before no fans. Most are not watching at home either. Providing wild fur to the industry at below the cost of production for over 50 years. Mostly carbon neutral since 1948.

To have it happen opening weekend may show how unrealistic the original plan was. The actual players are just the tiny spearpoint of all the folks whose livlihoods are intertwined with pro sports. Think of all the shops, stores, bars, restaurants, private parking lots, cabs etc etc etc whose operators have a rather short season in which to make some/much of their years income. How does one recover from a missed season?

I'd imagine every owner is worth hundreds of millions less right now than 6 months ago... that's the risk of a business owner, that a worker does not have... And that's why owners should be making more.

As a kid, I loved playing a number of sports and naturally you start looking at "professional athletes" as the natural progression of the best the sport can be. And they are. But the last couple of months have changed my view on nearly all sports. I no longer care for professional sports, and I don't watch them anymore. The whole kneeling thing got me started but as I've thought about it, the only thing that separates beer league sports from professional athletes is me paying their salaries. They need me; I don't need them. None of those athletes have ever done a thing for me. On the other hand, I've paid $12 for a soda and $50 a seat so I could watch them. And they've never so much as EVER said thanks to me. I get no Christmas cards, no shout outs, no nothing. So no more college or professional sports for me. I wish I had back all of the hours and days I wasted watching athletes play THIER game. I'm just as happy to go watch a Little League game (some day).
