That would be tough season for the players. It'll be interesting to see if this materializes. I would certainly watch.


Dr. Anthony Fauci sees path for sports to come back without fans

The hurdles are endless.

But Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the nation's top doctors in charge of leading the response to the coronavirus pandemic, said sports returning without fans is within the realm of possibility.

The chances of it actually happening depend on a league's or organization's ability to procure massive amounts of tests and how closely they monitor their players.

"There's a way of doing that," Fauci said on Snapchat's show "Good Luck America" when asked if there was going to be a college football season in 2020. "Nobody comes to the stadiums. Put (athletes) in big hotels, wherever you want to play. Keep them very well-surveilled, but have them tested like every week and make sure they don't wind up infecting each other or their families and just let them play the season out."

Coronavirus: Dr. Fauci sees path for sports to comeback without fans
 
It is just too hard to fathom a major university football game without fans.

Players feed off that crowd noise.

I can't even think of an accurate analogy.

Pipe it in from previous games.
 
If they were able to set up a pay-per-view system, it might actually be quite profitable.

Why is Dr. Fascinating giving his opinion on these subjects? He isn't a policymakers. What qualifications does he have to comment on the economy?

Seems to have gotten a big head with the spotlight
Kind of reminds me of James Comey.

He's commenting on a way to avoid contagion while we try to reopen sections of the economy. That's completely within his realm.

IMO he's the head chef when it comes to the virus. It's Trump who should shut his mouth.

No, no, no

TRUMP is the head honcho. He is the leader. I didn't vote for fauchi.
 
Fauci for Commissioner of Baseball.

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped, and summer was gone.
