Mr. Kite posted:The NHL calling out the NBA in their statement is hilariously petty. A second Utah Jazz player, Donovan Mitchell, tested positive for coronavirus due to Rudy Gobert's stupidity. There are reports that Mitchell was working out a local high school gymnasium, and there is a very real chance he could have infected people there given that coronaviruses can survive on hard surfaces for up to three days. The safety concerns are very real and you are a massive loving idiot.

The Presidents of Toronto FC, the Raptors, Maple Leafs, Argos and Blue Jays announced that they will be creating an assistance fund for arena workers. They're putting their money where their mouths are as well - the four Presidents (the same guy is President of both the Argos and TFC) are personally contributing money to the fund, as well as other team management, coaches and players.

ThinkTank posted:The go/no go date for the rest of the season is probably the first week of May, so that's most likely the league announcing its best case scenario timeline. Given the latest CDC guidance, that's probably what's going to happen. The NHL's new directive is basically "go home and see your family, there's no point in staying with the team".

 post of all the information I can find on support being provided for arena employees around the league. Take a look and see which owner is the biggest piece of poo poo! It's Jeremy JacobsAnaheim Ducks: Ownership will pay all part- and full-time workers scheduled until March 31 Buffalo Sabres: Ownership will pay all part- and full-time workers wages lost from any cancelled game, with support from players, staff and the Buffalo Sabres Foundation Calgary Flames: Ownership will pay part-time workers a bridging benefit above EI payments up to 95% of wages lost. Calgary players have also started a GoFundMe. Carolina Hurricanes: Ownership have announced that they are working on a plan to pay lost wages, no details Chicago Blackhawks: Ownership will pay all part- and full-time workers through to the end of the season, based on games that were scheduled Colorado Avalanche: Ownership will pay part- and full-time workers for the next 30 days, and have a program in place for other needs (food, etc.) Columbus Blue Jackets: Ownership will pay all hourly wages for games that were scheduled but not played through the end of the season Dallas Stars: Ownership will pay all part-time workers as they were scheduled until the end of the month Detroit Red Wings: Illiitch Foundation has set up a $1 million dollar fund to pay the wages of any part-time staff from cancelled events/games Edmonton Oilers: Have announced an "assistance" program for all Rogers Place staff, but no details were offered Florida Panthers: Players have pledged to create a fund to help area workers, ownership has pledged that they will cover any outstanding costs beyond this amount. No details. Los Angeles Kings: Will establish a fund (along with Clippers and Lakers) to help any staff affected by cancelled games. No details Minnesota Wild: Apparently there is something in place, but I can't really find details Montreal Canadiens: Ownership has pledged to pay 75% of wages for employees not eligible for EI, and will pay a bridging benefit for those that are eligible, to bring them up to 95% of wages lost. Players have pledged to contribute to a fund to pay the difference. Nashville Predators: Ownership will pay for any shift scheduled at the time that the league was suspended, are working on a plan for moving forward New Jersey Devils: Ownership will pay all hourly employees and arena staff for all postponed or cancelled games New York Islanders: The Brooklyn Nets will be providing support for hourly employees at Barclays, including those scheduled to work Islanders' games, until the end of May. No specific details New York Rangers: Ownership will pay all staff wages until March 22nd, and are working on a plan for after that time; Ottawa Senators: Have announced an "assistance" program for all arena staff, but no details were offered Philadelphia Flyers: Comcast has pledged to pay the wages of all staff scheduled to work until the end of March Phoenix Coyotes: Ownership and the arena will pay part-time and hourly wages from all scheduled home games through the end of the season. Pittsburgh Penguins: Have announced a plan to pay part- and full-time arena workers through the end of the season, through player contributions and two charitable foundations associated with the team. Saint Louis Blues: Have announced the creation of a fund to assist part- and full-time arena workers, with contributions from ownership, players, and local donations. No details. San Jose Sharks: Ownership will pay part-time workers from scheduled but cancelled Sharks and Barracudas games. Tampa Bay Lighting: Ownership will pay part-time workers scheduled to work at cancelled Lightning games and NCAA events. Toronto Maple Leafs: Ownership will pay a bridging benefit for all part-time employees to bring EI payments up to 95% of wages lost for four weeks. Additionally, management, coaching staff and players from the five major Toronto sports teams (including the Maple Leafs) are creating an assistance fund for hourly workers. Vancouver Canucks: Have announced an "assistance" program for all Rogers Arena staff, but no details were offered Vegas Golden Knights: Apparently have a plan, couldn't find details Washington Capitals: Ownership will pay all staffs scheduled to work at an event until March 31. Winnipeg Jets: Ownership will pay all part- and full-time staff scheduled to work at events until March 31 Boston Bruins: Marchand contributed to a GoFundMe to support TD Garden workers, but that's it so far. I also assume he'll return to his real job as a plague doctor. Congratulations Jeremy Jacobs, you're officially worse than: Eugene Melnyk, the Illitches, Tom Dundun, Tom Gaglardi, Vincent Viola and loving Comcast. I hope you're proud.

ThinkTank posted:Tom Dundon spent $250,000,000 trying to keep the Alliance of American Football afloat even though literally no one was watching halfway through its first season. Actually he only paid a small portion of that amount to get control of a lot of the broadcast tech and reneged on the rest. So this isn't all that surprising.

clean ayers act posted:I just don't understand what happens if they actually do start the playoffs and someone tests positive. Like say you're the afternoon before game 3 Caps Pens and Ovechkin tests positive. Do you play without him? Do you shut down the series until you figure out how he contracted it? Do you let the players stay in the same hotel any longer? If games are being played and one player tests positive, there's a real good chance that way more people in that organization will have it as well. Locker rooms aren't exactly the most hygienic of places.
