Oof. Man don’t know if I can take this.

The NBA, NFL and MLB are dreaming up ways to play amid a pandemic, with talk of isolating players in Arizona or Las Vegas or maybe on the moon. It all sounds great, until you talk to people who actually know science.

I think it's ok to say "we just don't know when sports will come back, we're still learning about this". Saying no football when it's 4 months from now seems pretty tough to do.

I think it's the exact opposite.

No sports until every state that hosts a professional sports team says it's okay and even then, it'll most likely be without fans.

Unfortunately, this is our new reality.

Yep, this is just our reality.

There is a new scientific study out today that says without a vaccine, we may have to practice social distancing until 2022.

I just don't see sports coming back any time soon. It really sucks for us because we launched this golden era of Chiefs football and now we are going to maybe miss a year? Thats some god damn because, Chiefs right there.

I was just talking to a guy at the store about this. It’s sad that this along with all the Social Distancing shit is the new norm. Guess I’ll have to get use to a gloves, mask and shield when I go public.

No way there's going to be people in stadiums unless they reduce to 10% capacity and spread everybody out. They'll just have to play the games without a crowd and I really just don't see how you can even have teams together until everybody has immunity and that ain't happen this year.

Too many strains. If this is one strain we got a shot but if this contains different strains then ugh..

Polio is not in the family of coronavirus.

Why go out and do anything ever? Covid isn't just going to "die out". America gonna freak out every time the media reports a new case? Because unless the virus just ceases to exist then everyone will be afraid of every goddamn thing.

**** it, just cancel everything from here on out forever. Bye NFL. Bye MLB. Bye NBA.

Might as well.

Cuz this aint gonna stop with Covid19. We're not even past Covid19 yet and people are all over social media talkin' up the next humanity ending virus.

Let’s not devolve into straw man arguments. I think it’s more about waiting for a vaccine... which sucks hard.
