In this time of Covid and the desire to get things back to normal unfortunately I think sports should take a year off. I think these ideas of putting athletes back on the field whichever level high school, college and the pros is terribly premature. Athletes being told to stay home probably have no had the proper amount of preparation, and we know that no matter how much you prepare nothing can make up for actual combat. None of the MLB plans make any sense. In order for football to go on starting with college and high school campuses have to open. Not to mention where these schools are located. Were there any deaths or infections from covid in that town so it's likely that there will have to be some neutral site games. Athletes will have to be constantly quarantined and tested. At the same time if there is no sports there will be a glut of athletes coming through the pipelines where professional teams will have to go back to video of the player in order to figure out who to draft. As well as eligibility. Does it end for those who were seniors at the time of the end of their season. And what about the players behind them who are not seniors. I think it's a good time to loosen transfer rules so that when/if sports, particular college sports get going again student athletes can play where they want.

Another idea is to allow basketball players to go right into the G-League and earn a paycheck because we all know the idea of Student athletes is misleading. More athlete than student. Instead of the silly one and done let them go right into the sports in the United States and not in some war zone in a foreign country or China. Baseball players right out of high school can go into the minors so why not let basketball players do the same. Some sports will be played this season but it will look much like the XFL than or some second rate league.Most importantly we need vaccines and testing to go back to full on sports. I can hardly breathe in masks can you imagine an athlete having to wear one of those things for hours and have constant cleaning going on while the game is being played? I hope sports comes back mostly for the concession workers and security and vendors. Beyond that I'm not missing sports right now.
