    1. Sensational stories drive viewership and create profits for the media, so the TV corporate news media has been lying nonstop for over 4 months now. I’ll prove it in less than 400 words and links to data and CDC sources. Here you go – the ride of your lifetime.

      First, over 80% of Americans have immunity and are not susceptible to SARS-COVn19 infection.

      Now the lies –

      Media Lie # 1
      “Trump does nothing”

      Trumps Daily SARS-nCOV19 action plan and schedule

      Media Lie # 2
      “It’s not China”

      We need limited trade relations with counties (see China) that allow their population to eat uncooked wild monkey, rats, bats and exotic birds. These all carry flu viruses that have infected us for decades.

  1. *WHAT ABOUT THE PLAYERS HEALTH??*
    alot of players tested positive, do their health not matter for our entertainment?

  2. Do it right, and you can be like the country I live in. Virus crushed, grandstands are full of smart and happy fans ⚽ ⚾ 🥎 🏀 🏐 🏈 🏉 🎿

  3. Its funny how that they’re talking about how sports will look like in this era, whilst almost every sports is already back in europe and have set an example on how to do it and everyonecan see how it works. Why is this even still a debate, care to look outside of your national border and recognize that there is sports back…

    1. Because countries in Europe have at the highest a 62 per million per capita covid-19 death rate. The U.S.’s per capita death rate is well over 300. And the government is shutting down testing sites as fast as they shut down polling sites.

    2. The sad thing is only, that Americans usually don’t look across their own borders, because they think they’re the “chosen” ones and don’t need to look outside their own walls…..sad, very sad country……stupidity will never learn anything…..

    1. Mueller Time Spoken like the coward you are….Sit back take it easy and watch real men

    1. @William H Music 2020 When will you start listening? WE HAD PROTESTS IN THE EU. WE HAVE NO SPIKE.

    1. Mail in voting is cheating? lol, like how? They are all checked, every single one. Cheating would be not letting people mail in vote, because that would be voter suppression. This is ain’t russia .

    2. @Science is hard
      People saying that because BunkerBoy Knows he’s Losing Already so he’s just getting ready for his Lies like Always.
      #BIDEN🇺🇸

    3. @Sharon Padilla which lies and why resort to insulting if you want to convince people of your argument that’s not a good way of doing you don’t seem that intelligent you more or less an ad for Joe Biden in the YouTube comment section

    4. At this point and time I don’t see how anyone in the right mind couldn’t be for trump Biden is for China and if Biden did win some how American would be at war with it self trump for every

  4. I hope the players owners and commissioners get together and create a plan for successful safe sports seasons.

    1. @fred rick Well I disagree with almost all of his policies. Some specific policies I don’t like I guess are his ban on immigration from some middle eastern countries, his tax cuts for the rich, the ICE detention centers, mostly the separation of children and their parents, and the inhumane conditions some of them are in. I honestly can’t think off the top of my head of anything he’s done I agree with. And that’s not to mention that I think he has an inflated ego, exhibits racist and sexist behavior, and treats women badly. He has if I remember right at least a dozen sexual harassment accusations from women who worked with him in the past or met him at some point. Overall I think he is a horrible person and an even worse president. Thank you for asking why I dislike Trump before judging me or anything, it’s hard to find respectful people on the internet nowadays.

    2. @Allison’s Kitchen 24% $84,201 – $160,725 vs Obama’s 35% tax ,any Immigration ban now most likely is for Covid if you have any information to say otherwise type it which facilities what conditions got to be more specific about ICE

    3. @fred rick The immigration ban I was talking about was the one in I think early 2017 that banned immigration from seven middle eastern countries, and received a lot of backlash and was on the news for a week or so. As for ICE there was a program on NPR where they interviewed a social worker who worked with some of the 17 year olds who would be released from the detention centers once they turned 18. I’ll see if I can find it. Also while on the topic of ICE, the raids on those factories in Mississippi where they detained over 600 people late last year. I understand they were undocumented, but there was a more civilized way to do their job. Here is a link to the ICE raids: https://www.npr.org/2019/11/17/778611834/months-after-massive-ice-raid-residents-of-a-mississippi-town-wait-and-worry

    4. fred rick trump has no policies. Transfer wealth from the poor to his rich friends who he owes millions to, that’s his policy.

    1. Nono, I am just asking a suimple question: *_Can you name me one single democrat who is NOT a child rapist?_*

  5. I think we have one or two more important issues to deal with as opposed to your tax-payer subsidized multi-million dollar stadiums and other recreational endeavors!

  6. CNN to give it a break! people trying to enjoy their weekend! I’m at Wildwood New Jersey beach keep an 8 feet away and wearing my mask! are you happy now Liberals🥴🥃🥃🥃🥃
