16 out of 302 NBA players test positive for C-19.

How the fuck are they going to have any sort of season?

How long do they have until games are supposed to start? Maybe there's a pre-play quarantine period long enough to allow people to get over it and resume.

OK, I read the article. They have until July 30th. That seems possible.

But they have healthy players also opting out. There are NFL players now doing the same...

All of the NWSL players had BLM shirts for warm-ups, and armbands.

Because that's the perfect sport if you want social distancing. Most of the players never come near one another, and when they do it's usually a quick exchange so they're not breathing on one another. They can wear masks. And can we talk about how easy it is to social distance in the stands...

I was thinking of posting a poll about picking a particular sport for women, but I couldn't think of one that easily competed with Soccer. Basketball, eh. Gymnastics, eh. Softball: no. Ooooo... Volleyball. Hmmmm. tough choice.

I'd still go soccer. Volleyball women are hot, but soccer women are hotter.

I did once dance with the LSU women's volleyball team, but that's a story for another time.

NBA learning you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
