We are gonna need 3 months of no new cases before we can even think of sporting again. And America isn't even going to START down that path until after January 2021.

I know my favorite league won't survive; Major League Rugby.

It was 2 years old. Sponsors were beginning to sign up. Broadcast TV had started showing the games, finally. Owners were still 3-5 years from making any money, but there was light at the end of the tunnel.

Now the tunnel is flooded. Under an avalanche. With an erupting volcano inside. And snakes. Poisonous ones.

Pro sports is fucked.

NHL news of the near future: No covid live/work bubbles maintained. 100s of young professional athletes and executives killed. No linemen or referees left. Zambonis are being driven through the crowds as chaos erupts across Canada.
