I'd be surprised if they got to 30 games.

Look at ESPN's bread and butter, the NBA. That restart is already off to a disastrous start with players testing positive everyday. Those guys can't help themselves when it comes to clubs and hookers.

Troubling times will continue up in Bristol.

Wow, stereotype assumptions much. Players from every sport are testing positive. I guess those golfers and caddy's that dropped out of the Travelers championships can't help themselves with hookers too.

Also the NBA will actually be in a bubble when the season restarts. It's not the players you have to worry about, it's the people that work at the hotels and supply them food that come and go out of the bubble.

Pro athletes have been known to stray. For generations now. Where have you been?

Hopefully the bubble works. Bristols in big trouble if it doesn't.

One you seem to single out NBA athletes when all athletes are testing positive (even the White guys in Golf). Second you then seem to equate that they are testing positive for COVID because they like hookers and clubs. Third, the NBA is the league that has the highest percentage of black athletes, it just comes off with a hint of racial connotations, sounds a little tone deaf.

just stop already with the racial stuff. You're thinking too much, don't do that.

Golfers?? are you kidding, they're the worst with that stuff. You'd be surprised.
I had a tenant once, pro, white as a ghost. Guy had a different girl in the house every week. Sometimes two.

Point is ESPN a CT based Corp, is in trouble if these positives persist and if it hits the NFL, look out Bristol.

People love saying stop making it about race. But, maybe read your post before you hit submit. Look, you're free to post whatever you want, but reading your post that's how it came across to me (I'm not black) and I felt like calling you out on it.

anyways...TV ratings are going to be HUGE. Look at the ratings for the Michael Jordan documentary that came out. There is nothing, people who are into sports will watch anything that comes back.

Sadly, I agree. Playing all over will lead to outbreaks.

If the 3 schools mentioned see their enrollment drop how does having UB help? Not a desirable location, and with this news will dissuade anyone from attending going forward.
