While I understand how disappointing this is for all fans of our sports, my decision is based on the current understanding of how COVID-19 is progressing in the United States...

Baseball season and then football season to follow. Will they have fans in the seats?

I went to a Cubs game at Wrigley Field when I was a kid.

I was in the grandstands. Some other kid gave one of the vendors a Canadian dime.

The vendor was saying, "He gave me a toy dime." LOL

NBA is postponing the rest of their season.

NFL up in the air on the draft in Las Vegas, etc.

Air flights from Europe cancelled.

The beat goes on.

Remain safe and well.

What’s your source for the NBA claim? A quick google search yielded that they are considering playing some games without fans (TV audience only) and that they are discouraging high fives. I didn’t see anything about canceling games outright.

A blurb on Fox, maybe they blurbed it wrong; what I heard was postpone, not cancel.

I hope that no one here cares about the NBA...

Nah, just so long as NASCAR is OK. According to NASCAR.com, it's still good to go on Sunday in Atlanta.

Shit's gettin' real, real fast.

(Edit) Screw those "ball" sports, but if its got tits & tires, count me in!

My sister owned a 68 Mustang. She had some guy soup it up for her and she was doing runs on a drag strip. I think she won a trophy or two. But that was long ago. And the meningitis has blurred much of my memory.

At least she came out here with her pick up and help me get my living room furniture out of the storage locker.

Shit, I was sleeping in a reclining chair here before a neighbor gave me a tube water bed. ;)
