The athletes are not wearing masks, coaches and refs take them off while talking, people are around them when they do so. Literally a bunch of rich people people making themselves richer while making everything worse for everyone else. Regular people are struggling economically due to COVID and sports just increase the spread all for a game.

At what point do we just stop it?

I hope college football gets crippled by this. I'm not holding my breath, though. Then there's the NFL which is just hopeless.

If you cancel what happens next season if things are exactly the same as they are now?

Just cancel seasons indefinitely?

This is America. People having sports is more important than our parents being alive. You know, the people who raised those players and all of us to even be here.

Shockingly, that's the only way you can see people putting human life over entertainment.

I don't care about sports but understand the economic impact they can have.

False premise. It has been shown to be possible to conduct sporting events with minimal risk. I'm not sure what happened with the NFL but the MLBPA did not want a bubble, until it was finally agreed upon for the the playoffs. Maybe the NFL will agree to a bubble for the playoffs too? Either way it's not surprising that players don't want to live in a bubble for months. And the MLB showed in their regular season that it is possible to do it without a bubble. They had some trouble at first, but by the middle of the season there were no issues with the virus.

Sportsball bad.

The people who want the seasons cancelled don't necessarily hate sports, but lol at this post.

Because it's a very expensive or well paying livelihood for many people, that's all some folks know... sports. They probably wouldn't be able to function in the real world if those forms of activities suddenly ended.

The NBA and MLB have done well with rigorous testing to make sure people are as safe as possible. They're not putting people on the court/field if they so much as report a cough and there have extensive quarantines and an absolute following of all scientific data we've been able to gather. This is a shitty hot take that comes from absolute ignorance.

Even with these "precautions", is it really necessary or essential to have people play games and risk spreading the virus during a global pandemic?

if theyre being safe and being accountable then why not? The UFC proved it can be done and everyone since then has been working with it

No season is going to be canceled because theres no reason to cancel. Covid isnt running rampant through teams/leagues. Teams arent shutting down every week due to positive cases. The high school team I coach for has 140 kids and 15 coaches around each other daily since June. To date, we have had only ONE positive Covid test and it happened last week. There have been very few football games canceled due to Covid that wasnt due to league/school officials originally deciding not to play out of fear.
