    Lol, no there isn’t

    Now there is probably about 30% that think the government reaction to this has been way overboard, but that is far from believing this is a hoax

    That is very optimistic. It is difficult to image to have any sport events before the coronavirus is totally gone.

    One study said 13% believe it's a hoax back in 3/2020. Just reading posts from CF, you see many CF thinks this virus is a hoax or "it's just like the flu" and "Tilman isn't broke"

    "There’s evidence these ideas are sticking. One poll by YouGov and the Economist in March 2020 found 13% of Americans believed the Covid-19 crisis was a hoax, for example, while a whopping 49% believed the epidemic might be man-made. And while you might hope that greater brainpower or education would help us to tell fact from fiction, it is easy to find examples of many educated people falling for this false information."

    No surprise here.Trump is a business man who looks at the bottom line not unlike the major sports networks and other financial sectors which keep us fed, entertained and employed . If there is even the smallest window within the frameworks of the guidelines created by the government to get the economy back on track they will do it in a nanosecond

    Anyone who thinks people were not going to get back on track till a vaccination for this was found were naive. Who knows when a vaccine can be found. All you can do is practice you’re safe hygiene and wear you’re gloves and masks at work.You can’t sit back forever.

    The president can say what he wants, the owners can say what they want, and the TV execs can say what they want, but it is up to the players to decide if sports are back. My guess is that they are not and won’t be for quite some time. If they try, it won’t last long.

    I find the “news” coming from the President to be far more endangering.

    The players are absolutely involved in this. In fact they can’t wait to start playing again and have not made that a secret.

    Not sure where this is coming from as if the players are being forced into this. They’re not. If they don’t want to play they won’t. But that’s not the case
