Just a note that in the "pause" to Covid reopenings, they specifically said the next thing to open would have been public sports events.

Would likely require the "home team" to acquiesce to such a set up.

Might even require the away team to agree as well.


Not sure TFC would agree to that for home games in Jersey - and if they...

I hear Ted likes to go RVing.... (if you know, you know)

Idiocy looming in USL - LAG2 team has 8 confirmed cases.

From the article




Experience with the USL indicates fans show up with masks & then about 5% stop wearing them. Do I trust Americans to be smart about all this around guys who some of them...

Outdoor games - management had hope.

This is reasonable

And as close to an admission as they can make that we are not getting to games this season. I'm wondering if the Jays situation finally pushed them to do this.

The Rugby League owners at the Super League level in the UK are greedy & selfish & very short sighted. They saw the potential to cut out a team & get a fraction of one share on the TV deal and went...

There are suggestions a good chunk of the Jays organization was not happy with the attempt to play in Toronto, seeing the getting across the border & the quarantines as not worth it for the pictures...

Just a note on the flying thing

All MLS teams flew in on a charter - same with the Dallas & Nashville players that were able to leave.

Think about a team with as much Covid among them as Dallas had when they landed in Orlando.

Now, think of them coming in here and then leaving - no thanks.

*******

The only option that...

Report Jays denied by Feds to play at home

On the weekend, they had the NYC game at Toronto that many of us went to. Watching it made me squirm

In retrospect, one of the most dangerous things any of us have done the last few months.

For those thinking the league can play behind doors up here...maybe think again

The Orlando CEO is....an idiot.

I don't know. Baseball was the last league to shut down, doing preseason games with fans the weekend after the NBA shut down. And they were doing autograph signings all that weekend. And they're...

If the US was doing it right, the more likely scenario would be a die out of the disease.

But, the US isn't doing it right.

Anybody else notice the survey of members put out...

Ok, now I get it.

Thanks

On another note, has anybody heard if you opt out of this year payments, whether they guarantee your seats for the future? The email didn't say that...

I'm trying to understand - are people wanting some kind of an award memorial for waiting through Covid-19 for soccer matches?

That's pretty much an admission there will be no attended games this season.

The right thing to do

Yesterday at 3pm - got this



Since then, nothing.

Ticketing plans will give us an indication of how many games the league expects to still get in.

Regardless, its pie in the sky to think there will be fans in stands by August.

Hmmm
