They need to figure this out and soon. You keep piling on the postponements and ultimately there won't be a season.
Lastly - if you haven't already done so - PLEASE stop following Wolken on Twitter. That guy is insufferable and your life will be better without his input.

There's a reason why they don't make it higher in the biz.
Man, I rarely agree with you, but I can usually see where and why you hold the opinions that you do. This one though... The media on both sides aren't that great and I have seen you dog Fox News for poor or "fake" reporting. Do you think it is solely a Fox news thing? Ha.
It does seem as though a lot of the media doesn't want sports to happen for some reason. 99% of the guys playing sports have a better chance of dying on the way to the ball park/field or even being struck by lightening during a rain delay before dying from COVID. There is no reason to have an alarmist attitude when it comes to professional athletes playing in an empty stadium.
It also isn't a stretch to say that some that report in the media will stretch the truth intentionally. So yes, it could be a simple mistake that the reporter made but it also could be a stretch of the truth as well, we don't know.

As long as they can play Saturday and Sunday with the double header Sunday then they?ll be right back on track. The fact that the teams play each other multiple times and now the 7 inning double header rule I think it can be done. But they needa have faster testing it appears.

again, baseball won't finish and college football can't happen either w the way everyone is doing quarantines. Most if not all, of the MLB positives are from asymptomatic players. Same thing is going to happen w CFB. we might, might play a game or two. but no chance we play 10. But it won't be any different next year. May have a vaccine, but people will still get it.

I should have been clearer that I was talking solely about sports media.
Sports media actively rooting against sports makes no sense. News media actively rooting against news follows the same logic though and explains a lot, sadly. CNN is bleh, Fox News is bad, and there are plenty worse (on both sides.)
But I meant to talk sports media there.

To me it’s not that the sports media is rooting for no sports, it’s that so many of them are being smug a-holes and rushing to say “SEE I TOLD YOU! LOOK AT ME I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG!” when something bad happens that is COVID related. And it often seems like people who are optimistic get mocked for it.
Maybe we can have football soon, maybe we can’t, but I personally don’t care to have my Twitter timeline filled with sports media personalities stroking their own egos every time they get a prediction about COVID right as if they correctly predicted the score of a game.

The only way to play sports is to quit testing and only diagnose and quarantine those that actually have serious symptoms. The tests themselves are a joke.

I sorta agree; but if you just let it run rampant, it'll probably eventually get someone that's vulnerable.

Overall yeah, but I'm talking about in sports leagues. If testing hadn't caught the 2 cardinals, it may have been the whole team (coaches included) in a week or 2. Then their opponents start getting it. Then a manager or older coach ends up dying, and so long sports for a long time.

Maybe true. But as it stands right now, it's so long sports for a long time.

I know you're right, but I'm dreaming that somehow we get a season of baseball and few werks of football.

Isn?t it like 20 of 1200+ test have come back positive with none of them having symptoms?
