re: #138 Welcome to The Imbleachment (dangerman)

i understand the appeal of sports. i am not a sports fan.

trying to salvage sports this season was a reasonable thing to try. everyone who participated did it so more or less voluntarily.

major league sports is a huge business. it employs lots of people directly and indirectly besides the players. and it supports lots of ancillary industries as well.

and lets make no mistake. there was no altruism or job saving here.
revenue and profits drove these decisions, not safety or any sense of careful propriety.

so this was a great opportunity to try it and see what would happen.
a big experiment.
we may have all known, still there wasn’t too much harm in them trying.

and they have. and now we know for sure.

it’s not gonna work.

Crowded venues such as sports, cinemas, theaters or concerts are just right out for health reasons. Covid health and distancing restrictions make them economically unfeasible.

Did not take a goddamn rocket scientist to figure that out.
