I think you are underestimating the greed of men. I would bet you $ it's not cancelled. I agree with others that the games may be played in empty stadiums, but they'll still be televised.

And quarantine every US city with an infected person. The rest of the country can go about their business. In a month when warm weather is here and all of the infected people have recovered then back to business as usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,941 Posted March 11, 2020 This really sucks in lots of ways.  My boys loved seeing a game in KY last year during Spring Break. We were planning on taking them to a game in Indy this year.  Looks unlikely now.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What every player says at all times during the game. Get rid of the announcers. Just organize the audio and play the missed fun stuff at breaks. Same for the pros. Otherwise, why play the game at all? The fans make the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
