They've done all of this to not even break 2 million fuckin viewers? To be fair, we as a country really needed a racist pedophile to crack racist jokes about the Japanese on live TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx8qITIIRiU

There's a scenario where the lockdown gets lifted way too soon, people flood the streets like it's loving VJ Day, and the second wave ends up much worse than the first. That scenario looks more likely every day.

The problem is the wrestlers are just as awful as Vince and won’t unionize because “gently caress you got mine, not letting another wrestler get a piece of my pie”

Do it ironically posted:The problem is the wrestlers are just as awful as Vince and won’t unionize because “gently caress you got mine, not letting another wrestler get a piece of my pie” I think I mentioned it earlier in the week, and I'd love to be wrong and for someone to rally the gang sometime soon, but this basically closes the door on union attempts in American wrestling at this point for...a good long while. It's hard to envision talent in the business having a better opportunity to attempt unionizing than during this period of time Credit to David Starr for having the balls and caring enough to be vocal, even when it's cost him bookings. Never understood why some fans thought he wasn't serious about it

Benne posted:There's a scenario where the lockdown gets lifted way too soon, people flood the streets like it's loving VJ Day, and the second wave ends up much worse than the first. The problem is and will remain the insignificance of state lines. The federal government has no power to "open America" as Trump claims. Many governors will continue to play it safe and try to be responsible. Others will continue to be irresponsible. And unfortunately the good and bad doesn't just stop at state lines so there's no easy way to lock down the problem in America. But also if you think that all the sports are gonna open up because Trump said so then you haven't been paying attention. Vince and Dana White are one thing but the NBA and other team sports can't open up any time soon without the first positive test shutting everything back down again. And they have unions to deal with. This is Trump bluster as it always is because he's desperate to convince people that he fixed things and is our hero.

Like I can see opening businesses aside from restaurants and gyms at the end of May just to get things feeling a bit more normal but given that the big outbreaks in Italy/Spain/England have been in parts traced back to soccer matches starting back live sports even without a crowd feels super dumb

Even if they do empty arena games you're still dealing with massive teams of players and crew and its just too impossible to make sure they all act responsibly and stay clean. Even with like the insane ideas of sequestering them. It just isn't feasible.

MLB was briefly floating the hilariously stupid idea of building like bubble cities in Arizona and playing the season there. I don't know if it's still a plan, but the talk noticeably died down when players were like "what the gently caress, we're not leaving our families to live in a biodome for 6 months, are you insane"
