I’m not to far off from your perspective. I’m just hoping they have a backup plan, like moving the season to the spring. I’ve heard that’s at least being discussed for football.

Hard to ask Goodwin/French/Perkins to delay starting their professional careers another whole year. Agreed though, in a perfect world that would be best for our team.

gobillsgo Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Just now, almaman said: oh right in the Orlando bubble with some more dorm quality food for another year (as I type I thought maybe you are kidding since they all know their NBA chances are closer to ours than those that are drafted) I just said professional careers, not necessarily NBA. Leagues will be playing in Europe, and all three are good enough to make a good amount of money over there. May be tough to pass up for a whole year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Over the weekend the had their first day with no Covid deaths in months. But we’ve got 33 states with rising infection rates. It’s hard to say anyone is doing much better than anyone else right now.

You’ll get no argument from me there. New Zealand has essentially no cases. Germany has a daily infection rate of about 150. Sweden has a daily infection rate of about 250. Florida alone has a daily infection rate of about 15,000. That’s more than all but about 3 or 4 countries in the world. It is indisputable that the United States has been doing, and continues to do, something(s) wrong. The fact that America is so far behind all these other countries in infection rates is inexcusable. That’s not a political statement. It’s a fact. SLU_Lax, Zink, Crewsorlose and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know you’re just kidding here, but in all honesty, in this particular situation, politics are irrelevant to me. A lot of people made mistakes, INCLUDING MYSELF. I may never have said it publicly or posted it on this board, but in the earliest days of Coronavirus, I never thought we’d find ourselves in the position we find ourselves in now. At this point, I don’t care who finds a solution. I don’t care what their political affiliations are. But we just can’t keep trudging down this same path. It’s just simply not working. Something has to change. It just has to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All I’m saying is, what we’re doing as a country right now is not working. It’s not helping. And, in all likelihood, it’s making things worse. That’s the reality no matter which side of the aisle you find yourself. So something has to change. I don’t care who or what fixes it, or whether or not I agree with them politically. We just need a solution. Fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
