    I read June 1 to resume training and July 1 for restart, pending lots of things.

    and closer to home, Nicaragua never stopped. Turns out they have no positive cases in players. If you believe them of course.

    I would expect some minor league baseball team in the Pacific northwest to rename itself the Murder Hornets within the next two years.

    Speaking of minor leagues in the PNW, I really like this jersey worn by the Spokane Indians, with the script in Spokane Salish:

    The tribe and the team started working together about twenty years ago, seeking to make the whole enterprise as a tribute. Here's an article from the Spokesman Review about the collaboration.

    Does this require Hauptman be put back in power. This is a tough choice.

    The EPL hasn't agreed on that date yet. Not sure about Serie A.

    Different situations. In the case of Bundesliga, the pandemic is much better managed in Germany than here in the US.

    Not to mention... because the U.S. and Canada cover such a huge geographic area, and because there are different states/provinces all with individual governments and different levels of population density, rates of infection, and a myriad of other differences, re-starting sports leagues here is a far more complicated undertaking than it is in most other places. Just the fact that domestic matches involve border crossings make things harder.

    MLS will probably call the winner of the summer tournament in Orlando the 2020 champion and see what they can come up with in 2021.

    I've been cutting my hair for 5 hours. It's taken so long because I have to keep recharging the clippers, that's how wild it was. They're currently recharging for the fifth time so I guess I'll finish in the morning.

    Clippers for me too. Seeing that most of the top of my head is bald the rest goes very short. Except for the four weeks I just went without a haircut due to the fact I was in isolation for potential exposure to SARS-COV-2. Anyway, I've seen up close how virulent a virus like this can get. Luckily no one got more than a fever and slight dry cough for a few days.

    it for sure is. but the talk about HOW we return to normal sports should be not only accepted but encouraged.

    Like any job, it needs to come back somehow at some point, before there is nothing to come back to. Sports, because of their "mainstreameness", are being closely surveiled, but in reality its like any other job returning these days, with the big * that they will be tested almost daily, while no one is testing my colleague in my office.

    If something, in this situation, professional athletes are in the best "safe" spectre compared with the other 98% of the population.

    Exactly which means a return to MLS is bound to happen sooner or later
