  1. I’m sure the major sports leagues will be re-thinking their plans once the outbreaks from t’rump’s Covidiots United rally start popping up in two weeks.

    1. Cases! Cases! How many of the 2.2 million people have recovered? Are they all still sick & never recovered? Are the hospitals over run with people? Is the death rate very very low now? Should we try to safely get on with our lives or people will die from “other” than CV19? Are the 100’s of people killed due to civil unrest in the Democrat states, counted as a CV19 hospitilization?

    2. @Bill Wilson The 100s of people killed in the protests? 🙄
      Ahh, it must be that MAGA math right there! 🤔😄😅

    3. @Ro G WAKE UP MORON! Did you see that 102 people were shot in Chicago alone last weekend? You people will look past all of this MOB VIOLENCE just to hate Trump. Vote Joe in then, watch the country turn to anarchy has he cowers in his basement and send jobs back to China!

    4. @Bill Wilson 2.2 million cases – 980,000 recovered – 1.2 million ACTIVE CASES – 16,000 critical. Data shows new cases steeply rising dramatically each day due to early opening, then the death count will rise again – like a pendulum. Go do some homework to find your answers – use data, science rather than opinion.

    1. If it is your money, you do what you like with it. In a free society, we don’t have control over other people’s money or you would have none left because I would have spent it all.

    2. @TubeToons I believe that most sports arenas in the U.S. are built with U.S. tax dollars to the rate of millions under the umbrella of infrastructure. And the mega sports industries are like churches and dont pay taxes.

    3. Cases! Cases! How many of the 2.2 million people have recovered? Are they all still sick & never recovered? Are the hospitals over run with people? Is the death rate very very low now? Should we try to safely get on with our lives or people will die from “other” than CV19? Are the 100’s of people killed due to civil unrest in the Democrat states, counted as a CV19 hospitilization?

    4. @TubeToons so you’re saying businesses and governments don’t invest in Athletics’s. Which planet do you reside on?

  2. This generation has so dumbed down they think the moon landing was faked…that tells me they dont understand science!

    1. @LAST CALL Have you had your shake shack milkshake today, cuz will keep you safe from covid-19?

    2. @LAST CALL She did teach remedial students and specialised in adult literacy.
      She’s retired but maybe others could help you now if you’re still struggling.

  3. I love Mary Carillo’s honesty!
    Her wisdom is exactly what we need right now, because too many right-wingers are spewing lies.

  4. It’s to bad COVID-19 doesn’t affect the flagrant abuser instead of the Elderly, the health compromised and the very young who come into contact with Trumps reinfection of the United States of America.
    Trump is insane and his minions are a danger to this country.

  5. If we spent as much on medicine and paid doctors instead of athletes we could have single payer healthcare!

    1. Doug Schaufele
      The entire “western world” has free single payer healthcare of one form or another, except for the US. One might think that was because it was cheaper but the opposite is true. The cost of healthcare per person in the US is the highest, by far, in the world. In the US the cost per capita is MORE THAN TWICE that of countries such as Canada, the UK, Australia, Finland, South Korea, Japan, Belgium, France, etc etc.

    2. Considering how much of our taxes go to pay for stadiums I believe you are correct. We choose entertainment over the common good. If we provided free tuition to medical students in exchange for service to underserved rural areas we would have better access to health care as well.

    3. The Roman emperor’s were smart enough to keep their people passive with free bread and distracted with circuses. We just get the circuses.

  6. Daddy what is science? Don’t worry about that son we are Republicans. Now go play with your iPad.

  7. How could Novak be so arrogant and stupid . not only did he spread the virus, it’s very possible that he could suffer lung damage.

    1. I don’t think he’s arrogant, but very reckless. Let’s hope he’s learnt the lesson and nobody pays with their lives.

    2. At the beginning of the pandemic his wife was posting 5G conspiracy theories on her social media. So it’s not a surprise

  8. Makes me remember why I dislike Djoko. And I am not surprised he’s dumb. Science is NOT an opinion. It’s FACTS and backed by research

    SMH

    1. Oh tennis , no wonder i did not know what “sport” they were talking about … had to google the name , still nothing , does not ring any bells .

    2. Djokovic is an arrogant looser even when he wins. Throws his racket when he doesn’t get his way. Not cool

  9. Just like the President puts his reelection before the safety of the U.S. citizens….these athletes are putting their personal interests and pocketbooks before the safety of their fans.
