Italian prime minister just announced group training for Serie A will be allowed starting May 18th (individual May 4,) with restaurants, bars, etc (essentially the country) opening fully on June 1. Unless something unexpected turns, and factoring in training camps, I’d be surprised if major sport leagues weren’t back by July.
What about those who are NOT athletes, but whose only way to take care of his family is totally reliant to the world of sports and if they are playing. That's ALOT of people.
How does an NBA athlete working out alone at a practice facility prevent any needed other industry from working?
Not a fan of Disney, but I do put a lot of stock in their announcement - Mulan will be actually-released July 24. Disney thinks people will be back in theaters then.
As far as the Blazers go, Kate Brown has said that things will be "opened up" on a county-by-county basis. So, those of us in Eastern Oregon (where we have few cases) will likely be opened up much sooner than the tri-county area. I honestly don't know if this means that the Blazers will come out here to practice.
Aside from the virus, this is not cool at all. They cant let some teams get together and practice and work on game plans and get healed players back into the rotation smoothly without letting all teams have that same time. Its why there is a date for preseason where they cant get together prior to I believe correct? So not fair to some of the teams... However, with the state of Oregon regarding the virus, and our injured players, I wouldn't mind an advantage.... But, if we don't get one, no team should! lol
The proposal is only to allow individual workouts. No coaches. No practices. No scrimmages. No more than 4 guys in the gym at a time and maintaining social distancing. Just let players have a place to go get some shots up.
