The Return Of Sports.......

[Pinwheel1]

I have HORRIBLE hay fever this time of year. I wonder if some have it and just thinks its their annual allergy attacks.

There are definite similarities. My allergies have kicked in the last few weeks as well. I have been tired, sore throat, headaches, congestion......pretty much the same symptoms I had when I was sick in April. (Other than the high fever)

The one difference I see is that COVID was just more consistent. At least with my allergies, I can take some meds and feel better...for at least a while.

From now on, all sports will be like this:

Or, in fact, concerts:

sounds as if things are starting to get nasty in the negotiations.

I'm not a baseball fan, so haven't been following their situation too close. What is their holdup exactly?

the salary is not pro rated per number of games and the number of games total.
35% salary vs. 44% of games for season

Ahhhhhh. In my opinion it's better than 0%. But that's just me!

the piece i linked to suggested the low offer may be that the owners would prefer no season without fans to any alternative.

This is obviously right:
The restart of sports is the perfect time to end the national anthem ritual before games

Because of how many people are deciding to not watch the NFL this season due to the kneeling, I'll be interested in what the ratings will be. Still watching by the way.

Those crowds made me uneasy. I'm never coming within 6 feet of anyone ever again! My wife will be so pleased...

Wait, I'm confused. She'll be so pleased because she has no desire for physical intimacy with you or because you're so well equipped that 6 feet of separation is no obstacle?

I think Archery and Skeet shooting deserve a break. Curling can work!~

I doubt that many will boycott watching the NFL because of kneeling. Fans are fans, bettors are bettors. A lot of smoke.
