This. It's best to think of Disney as its own city. The NBA has its fenced off area with no overlap. Same with MLS. (For those curious, there's...
Because they're in quarantine until tomorrow, you have to test negative on the two days after your arrival before you're a regular "guest." Until...
The NBA knew the current situation before 22 teams traveled there in the last three days, yes, which was an enormous expense. As is every day...
I think all of that is completely fair. It's complicated. I don't blame anyone that has mixed feelings about it. All I was pushing back on is the...
Holy apples, meet oranges. Cruises were stopped and borders closed because their previous operations were not designed for a pandemic. What the...
To clarify, I'm not asking you or anyone to worry for them. I was just citing the money as an example of why the restart is likely to happen. I...
There's a difference in someone saying they aren't convinced, or saying they're uncertain about it (which is fair), and someone asking whether...

Most likely. My general opinion is that people are underestimating the initial risk and overestimating the long-term risk. There's a lot of useful...
From teams that weren't going to contend. This happens all the time in a normal NBA season, the league has always had a problem incentivizing guys...
You really think hundreds of NBA players are leaving their families for weeks during a pandemic to go live in a bubble, all for the upside of a...
No idea about Freeman, but anecdotally... one strange phenomenon I've noticed on social media is the gradual expanding of social circles. Everyone...
To expand on that, it's weird (IMO) to have these very personal situations used to advance an agenda. Here's one recent example from a former...
If this timeline is true (that they arrived on the 27th and had training the next day), the MLS protocols aren't nearly as stringent as the NBA....
