Was listening to 610 today because I apparently have nothing better to do.
Cody Tapp was aight as the Royals guy, but dude is a complete and total bitch on the air right now. He is completely and utterly terrified of life. He was talking about 200 people at Royals games as the norm going forward this season. First of all, you can safely (if things continue going the way they are) get far more people into the stands than that and still maintain social distancing. Second, 200 ****ing people?! By the time you pay someone to park those people, man the concessions stands, operate the scoreboard, etc. you've blown any semblance of profit you'd have had. And we haven't even put the tip in when it comes to players being paid. Granted, that'll come from TV mostly, but still. I thought that was one of the dumbest things I'd heard on the air in a grip. Third, there are college football programs like Ohio State speculating that they'll be able to START the season with 20-50k people in their stands while social distancing if numbers continue to remain positive. There will be more than 200 people at some beer league softball games if they're allowed to open, for Christ's sake.
I think the sports world, like us all, are true prisoners of the moment right now. We forget how much has changed in such a short period of time. If I went back three months and told you that all sports in the WORLD would cease to exist, you'd have laughed at me. The current state of affairs have come on us quickly. And now, in the last few days alone, things have changed at a frenetic pace. They'll continue to do so.
I'm not guaranteeing that the NFL will go off without a hitch, but at this point, nothing would surprise me. The state of life on this planet seems to be changing daily. Literally. That's not an exaggeration.
All this is to say, Cody Tapp is a bitch and clearly he does zero research into anything regarding the current state or trends of the virus.
He's a bitch.
