I can't see them finishing the season at this rate.

NFL might as well just cancel

@markasaxon: Of the four new positives on the #Cardinals that I can confirm, three are staff. One is a player.

It seems it's not playing the games that gets people infected so much as the dumb shit players do when they're not playing. I say, expand the season to say 90 games, and just make every day a double header. Keep them playing and on the field where they're safe!

BREAKING: MLB commissioner Rob Manfred told MLBPA executive director Tony Clark on Friday that if the sport doesn’t do a better job of managing the coronavirus, it could shut down for the season, sources tell ESPN.

Story at ESPN: es.pn/2EEMcsP

They should talk to whoever is in charge.

This is so incredibly cringeworthy
"We are playing,” Manfred said. “The players need to be better, but I am not a quitter in general and there is no reason to quit now. We have had to be fluid, but it is manageable.”

I mainly see people blaming the Marlins for screwing it up, so the blame is already off his shoulders
