Coronavirus and the 2020 Season (Season Postponed, pg3)

NFL also has the advantage of their season doesn't start until September and even if they have to push back the start of the season they can probably push the Super Bowl back to March if they have to.

does Blake snell face more of a risk than the average joe

The thing about blake snell is that he has to be on the field to contract the virus. Lucky for him, that’s not much of an issue.

Fortunately for the NFL, they don't give half a goddam about the safety or wellbeing of their players. They'll just chart out the 2025 lawsuit settlement and give Roger Goodell a raise.

Yeah pretty much. Any players don't want to play out of caution and they'll just get blacklisted

No spitting = no sunflower seeds. I’m buying bubblegum stock.

Sunflower seeds is something I never understood. It's like that can't possibly be something that isn't terrible to do.

Wow. That is a lot of rules.

I'm a bit surprised there's not more mention of home plate. It's outdoors, but the catcher and ump in particular are used to being very close to each other. Also maybe some kind of increased penalty for getting physical with or up in the face of the ump or other players.

What about mound visits?
