Tried to enjoy some sports this weekend as a break from reality, and came across the WNBA game. Unfortunately, the game showed how little some people totally disregard social distancing when it comes to $$$. Absolutely not setting an example at all of what people shouldn't be doing by getting in each other's face while breathing heavily, giving high 5s, and yelling at teammates and opposing players, including the coaches. Definitely couldn't watch the blatant carelessness for long at all. COVID-19 is for real, and positive examples matter more than ever. Wear a mask and keep your social distances, the life you save could be a loved one, or your own.

Even in the NBA bubble players like Zion and Lou Williams are re-isolating themselves from the rest of the people in the bubble so that they don't risk others after leaving the bubble. NASCAR is different as they don't test everyone, which is why they use masks.

What about the same things going on in Major League Baseball which actually publicized very specific social distancing standards which teams aren't following? And you use $$$ in reference to the WNBA? That is laughable! You are a real big guy trying to call out one of the weakest pro sports around. Your veiled political posts are old, unoriginal and predictable.

It should be noted that at the airport the Marlins had to stay in their bus cramped together for two hours which likely caused huge risk from the delay in leaving their bus as they already had positive cases on the team.

MLB has a huge issue right now, at least for the East divisions. 8 Marlins tested positive and their game today is canceled and the game between the Yankees and Phillies may be in danger of being canceled too. NFL of course will have to watch this and worry about it too.

That's a perfect example!! Speaking of examples, these pro players are indirectly send the message that it's alright to get your friends together and play baseball, basketball, etc and then go back home to your grandmas, parents and so on. I'm to the point that I can do without watching pro basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, and football for a long freaking time.
If they determined that the infection most likely occurred at an airport I'd be all for closing down airports nationwide, which I'm surprised wasn't done in the first place.
It looks like NFL now is saying players who attend 'high risk' events and get the virus will face team discipline as well as no pay for any games they miss should they get the virus.Last edited by Wildcat Khan; 07-27-2020, 10:55 AM.

Just a matter of time before the NBA bubble burst!
LA Clippers Guard Lou Williams left the bubble for a short time earlier this week to attend a funeral, but photos of him at a gentlemen's strip club in Atlanta also appeared on social media. Rapper Jack Harlow posted a photo of himself and Williams late on Thursday night, showing them hanging out. Harlow quickly deleted the post, but not before it had been widely shared. Oooops!

It is also why the MLB's 'bubble' is so fragile compared to the NBA's and so likely will be the NFL's where it is easier to control where the players go when they don't travel as well as minimize the number of people that they come into contact with as MLB is traveling through commercial airports and if a person infects a TSA agent for example it could infect a player.

And the NBA is forcing himself to quarantine as he re-enters the bubble as well as testing him for Covid. To me, that says the bubble is working as Zion had to do the same thing after seeing his family. That is a key fact in that the NBA bubble isn't fragile as you make it sound as your post makes it sound like he went right back to his team and is playing with them.

Only because he got caught via social media. I can pretty much guarantee that others are, or will be slipping around the rules.
