    If that indeed becomes true, say goodbye to sports forever. Unless, they decide to have all leagues happen in the spring/summer time, with shortened seasons or they, like everyone in general just say fuck it and go back to living their lives with the virus out there knowing that one day it could kill them.

    You think NBA,NFL,MLB, NHL,MLS ect. are going to survive losing billions for two straight years not playing and if they do play, play without fans? All I've heard is if there isn't College Football this season it will cripple colleges. Maybe those two aren't exactly comparable but no business can withstand losing that much money for two straight years.

    Wait.... Were you being sarcastic with that last sentence?

    No, I was attempting to be realistic. Looks like you might not be an enthusiastic supporter of what I'm saying.

    How can you tell? They have sun tan lotion in their hands instead of assault rifles?

    Just got done watching a movie with the fam. My phone was blowing up from coworkers about the governor just extended the Declaration of Emergency in Oregon from May 7th.......to JULY 6th!!!!!!!!!!!

    This seems like a big deal. I came on here thinking you guys were breaking this down? Is it not as big of a deal as I'm thinking?

    I Saw them twice in Denver in the early to mid 90's when I lived in Colo Springs. Good solid band, just not quite edgy enough for me, but really good for what they did.

    Is that for real? 2 more months? We had a video conference this morning for work discussing it thinking it would be 2-4 more weeks likely. Not 8weeks min.

    Summer is gone.

    Companies are going to crumble and though their employees are being reimbursed at the moment, that wont last, and they will be joining the millions already filed and/or filed.

    The inevitable crash will slide deeper and people will die from poverty and crime as people reach desperation.



    Sensationalism, I know... but. Man. People change when they go hungry. Im tellin ya. History proves it.
