They would be taken to an isolated part of the hospital where there aren't people infected with Covid.
Dude, it's a business. If the NBA doesn't make money, there will be no NBA. Covid won't be gone by November. Broadway shows have moved their openings to April and that's being a bit overoptimistic of them. If NBA doesn't make money, then they tear ups CBA, players won't agree with drastically lower salaries. If this Orlando thing doesn't work, I don't see any NBA til 2022 at the earliest.
It's not about fucking the players out of money. It's about there not be any money to pay the players. Players would have to agree to drastically lower salaries for the business model to work. Players aren't gonna like it. With less money to go around, there will be an even bigger debate over who gets how much.
have you seen the current hospital capacity rates in florida? Have a guess at what they will be like a month from now? I think it all depends on how this summer goes, but clearly Florida is going to be out of control a month from now. I think players with money who cna sit out a year will take that over testing positive. and frankly, the players make way too much. Its time to brings sports salaries back down to earth a bit and reprioritize our spending as a society. Do you think, as a player, they would rather have a zero salary over a 50% decrease on their current salary? They will take the decrease.
of course they wont like it. But what choice will they have? Think about it Eric? You really think they will just say “forget it then. Ill go... be an insurance rep.“ They will take the decrease over no salary at all.
A lot of them have enough to retire on. Plus, there's playing overseas as an option. And Kyrie and Lavar have considered starting their own leagues.
Dude. I live in NYC, the Corona Capital of the World (10 times more deaths than Florida). There was always enough hospital space for everybody. They built extra hospitals and brought the Navy too but didn't need any of it. Florida hasn't surpassed New York. They won't take the decrease dude. They're only getting what 49% now? They won't go lower than that. With the league making less money, they will want a greater percentage, not less. And why should they take a decrease. They will argue that the owners should take less. They're the billionaires. Why do you insist the players take less?
You think the players make way too much? So are you saying that the billionaires that own the teams should keep most of the money and pay their field hands less? When the NBA makes any amount of money, someone gets it. It sounds like you care more about the billionaire owners.
