My son's gf plays D1 softball. Their weekend road trip is canceled, practice is scheduled for tomorrow but the expectation is that this is the last practice.

I'm rather impressed that F1 and the Australian Grand Prix's many lawyers could stretch out canceling the race until 2-ish hours before the first practice.

I live in Omaha and also work at a hotel... so this is quite concerning for me... CWS is like 1 of the 2 big tourist things that happens here... The other one being Berkshire shareholder meeting, which is also in doubt at the moment... Maybe there's still hope of the Olympic swim trials this year...

The local news was pretty sad about LSU's basketball and baseball seasons, and if you're in Omaha, you know how seriously LSU treats the CWS.

kalensc posted:Figure this might be an appropriate spot to ask this: I doubt this helps much, but Ultimate Chicago just put this out to its players. quote:With mounting concerns about COVID-19, Ultimate Chicago wants to assure our community that we are monitoring the situation closely and will take every possible precaution as new information arises. As much as possible, we will defer to the policies put forward by government and state officials such as the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Illinois Department of Public Health. As of now, no action will be taken in terms of canceling or postponing any leagues or events. However, the situation is rapidly evolving, and we are prepared to communicate new guidelines or actions quickly if circumstances change. The TLDR is things are moving forward as usual, but if you're sick stay home, and don't share water bottles. Ultimate players are full of people who are at the least amount of risk, and it's not like these things draw a crowd, so it seems like a safe position to take.

Katana_Warrior posted:Don't most of them get paid in full at the start of the year? Shouldnt' affect them too much They get paid regularly over the season so NHL/NBA guys should have received like 75% of their money already. Not sure how bonuses in the NBA work, but some NHL stars get significant portions of their salary paid out as signing bonus at the start of the year rather than salary, but those are the exceptions rather than the rule. Either way, big league guys should be ok, but the lower league guys who make regular people salaries are going to feel it.

I am pretty sure that the players still get paid if a league voluntarily suspends operations on a temporary basis. I can't imagine any of the players associations would've been okay with things ceasing otherwise.

If because of any condition arising from a state of war or other cause beyond the control of the League or of the Club, it shall be deemed advisable by the League or the Club to suspend or cease or reduce operations, then: NHL players are paid on the 15th and 30th of each month while the regular season is going on so I guess they'll get paid this weekend and then it's on hold.

So.... I guess that means the UFC (in an empty arena) is now the only live sporting event on TV this weekend? (It was going to be only on ESPN+, but after the sports world died, ESPN grabbed it)

It's already been discussed a few times.
