COVID and life without sports

[Raptorman]

Haven't missed anything yet. Football doesn't start until later.

Wait, there are other sports people watch?

[bobsacamano]

Damn, can't believe how many are not into other sports here. Live for Packers, Soccer, Brewers, Badgers, and Bucks.

I wish I liked other sports. Don't really like the MLB due to no salary cap and despite basketball being my favorite sport to play, the NBA Is just garbage now a days. I used to live for NCAA basketball but just grew away from it. I think some of it as I've gotten elder with a career and all, I really only have time to follow one sport and team closely. Packers trump everything else so I concentrate on them.

Also, I think sports used to be a bit of an escape from every day life like politics, etc and that is really gone. I'm sure that deters a bunch of people away from it. I know I'm tired of hearing athletes political opinions and input from either side of the aisle. If I wanted to hear about that, I'd tune into one of the news channels.

Friday evening I will be out on the lake pretending to fish, lounging with beers in the cooler listening to baseball on the radio, life will be good.

Is anyone even remotely excited about this MLB 60 game thing? Seriously.

This shortened season helps the Brewers in a lot of ways, but I just can't seem to get myself to care too much. Maybe its the fact if the Brewers did actually do something, is it going to feel like an asterisk was next to 2020?

I just feel like they need to scrap both the MLB and NBA seasons.

I am excited for real competitive sports!

[TheGreenMan]

Alright, maybe I'm just a little bit excited to see the Brewers tomorrow.

[Carl Gerbschmidt]

Loved listening to the Twins on the radio last night while I was tinkering in the garage.

[BF004]

Had the Brewers on the tele last night as well.

It felt... right

WI pushed high school fall sports back to September, I can't imagine them playing at all. There is a plan in place that they could push them to the spring, and push spring back to summer which would suck, but these are the times we live in.

Partly true, but yes. CC and Golf start on the 17th then Football, Volleyball, and Soccer on Sept. 7th. Without some changes for the good I don't see them sticking with that. I would rather play Football in the spring and move Track to the Summer than not have Football at all. That would suck to go football, track, football back to back to back, though. I love coaching both, but with no break between that is rough on the family.

Yes, but that would screw an entire group of kids over, the Spring Sports kids. All of their seasons just got cancelled, and their seasons would then be pushed to summer where they have club sports. Fall playing in Spring is absolute worst case scenerio for those kids.

Personally, and no offense to you, I don't give a &%$@ about club sports and AAU type &%$@. Does my contempt for for profit youth sports show?!

Trust me, I know how &%$@ it was that spring sports got cancelled. I had a 4 time state champ in the throes going for her 5th and 6th state championship.

Football rules all though, right or wrong.

[Packfntk]

Yeah, I get it. Just sucks for that group of kids, and the clubs will not let them play high school during their season. They are paying big bucks for club, so they will do that if it is in the summer, and high school spring sports will never get most of those kids back IMO.

We'll get almost all of the kids. Most club sports run year round anyway so I don't think it will affect that so much. I have too many girls that play basketball or volleyball and run track at the same time. I always have to be careful with them and overuse injuries.

Yeah, I have the girls for soccer in the spring. Not a chance that most of them will do high school over club, especially with a shortened season. Every one of them play club soccer, or AAU basketball. Lacrosse will also struggle so many of those dudes have other obligations, and that is not even counting the fact that spring sports under the new plan will go to mid/late July. A lot of kids going on to play sports in college leave in early-mid July. Or those that enlist, etc.

Seeing there isn't a lot on TV worth watching it will be good to watch some live sports other than NASCAR and golf...

I know you are joking but is golf not a sport?

I am enjoying watching the PGA Championship this week, even with no fans. Good golf, no protesting while working, no masks, seems normal except no fans.
