I am inclined to look at the business side of the current situation. I hear player-union reps talking about how they don't want to go back until it's "safe." This can be taken to a neurotic extreme, which strikes me as counterproductive to the players.

Do they understand the ramifications of what they are saying? At some point, the players' compensation is going to take a HUGE hit, and the more the seasons are truncated the less these guys are going to make. If they think, for example, Garrett Cole is going to make 33 million this year...I think they are in for a disappointment. Maybe I'm wrong.

Not only are the seasons going to be shortened, but the butts in the seats are going to be far fewer for each game that is played. No business can take a 60% reduction in revenue and continue to pay 100% of the "normal" compensation. This is, from a contractual standpoint, force majeure.

I rarely watch an entire game (or match) on the telly, but I do miss watching snippets of baseball, basketball, hockey, and so on. I can't get my brain around the fact that there will be no Wimbleton, French Open, U.S. Open, or a golf Masters tournament. Kentucky Derby?

Cubs not losing, good enough for me.

I know what the OP means. I was devastated when they cancelled the Scripp’s spelling bee.

If the NFL season doesn’t happen, people may revolt.

really getting tired of no sports

Thoroughbred racing as well as professional wrestling are still being competed on TV, although without live audiences.

"Butts in the seats" are only a part, and not the greatest one, of the revenue of major sports teams. TV deals, advertising, corporate sponsorship, there are a lot of revenue streams.

I understand they're playing classic games all day.

You'll survive.

Classic games? Would you be satisfied watching Rachel Maddow re-runs? Oh forget it, you probably do.

I will take the classic games from the time they were invented up till the mid 90,s any day of the year over what we have to look at now.back then,the nfl was not the corrupt cartel it is now and with baseball,every team had as much chance to be in the World Series as any other team,back then you did not have small market teams developing players for big market teams.classics all the way,they are the way to go.

Amen to that! No March Madness. No opening day MLB. No Masters. This suuuuuuuucks.

I personally love it,love the game of baseball and football but the mlb and the nfl have tainted those sports with their corruption. Till they can form new leagues to take the place of those leagues,America is best off without those sports,give me the classics everytime

With no fans to drown out the cussing, we'll hear how foul-mouthed these bastards are....especially when a manager and an ump are going at it after a blown call. The networks better have their 3 second delay souped up because some of these screaming fests go on for 5 minutes.

I miss soccer in Europe...Nothing on tv for a long time and the season 2020 seem to be over !

What’s the difference? Almost the same amount of scoring anyway.
