Marlins are covid positive and have cancelled tonight's home opener (and prob just killed all sports

12-14+ Marlins and coaches have tested positive and most if not all are assumed to have covid. The Yankees do not want to go to Philly, where the Marlins were for the past three games. The Orioles do not want to play the Marlins and this just might be the death nell for all sports this year. MLB will drop first and no one thinks that NCAA or NFL will play.



Once again, it sucks to be a Fish Fan.

your doing it wrong. Shut everything nonessential, stay home AT ALL TIMES except for getting food etc. Wear masks AT ALL TIMES OUT OF THE HOUSE and we have a chance at beating this LIKE OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE DONE. American stupidity, though, isn't going to cut it.

Schools must not open.

We must shut down everything that is non essential and provide and basic income for every person though Summer 2021 if we want to survive as a species.

Sports were a test case and they've failed.

The players go their own way after they leave the field.

No way that was ever going to work, especially with the virus spiking in so many places. This doesn't bode well for football either, both college and pro because they won't be in bubbles either.
