Coronavirus (Sports World)
So far today I have heard that the NBAs Golden State Warriors will play the Nets in an empty arena on Thursday while MLB's Seattle Mariners won't be playing in Seattle during the month of March.
The NBA is having governor meeting's today to discuss possible schedule changes(neutral site's,empty arena's etc).

USC and UCLA here has banned fans from attending any Spring home events. So no fans will be seeing Spring football, baseball and softball etc.

If you want to keep your thread relegated to sports news cancellations, don't get off topic on stuff that should be talked about in the main coronavirus thread.

So what? Many people have already recovered. It's not like it's stuck in your blood stream and it's a death sentence.

What would happen if the Lakers had a few players get the virus?

This weekend's LA at Seattle XFL game will be played without fans. That essentially makes it just like any LA home football game.

I'm especially interested to see what happens with March Madness. Watching those games played in empty arenas would be very weird, but may be warranted. We'll see what they decide to do.

They'll decide soon.... I have a pair of tickets to the First Four next Tuesday and Wednesday and am waiting to hear.

My dad attend's the Division II No. 2 ranked team home games(that would be Lincoln Memorial University) and rumor has it they might host the Southeast regional but I am not sure if they will still play the games or what they will do.
Update: I just checked the team's website and they are hosting the regional March 14-17.

That's going to be a very weird March Madness with quiet stadiums for TV.
That's Millions and Millions going down the toilet for the NCAA this season.

The BR report had the MM logo in the article so I assume that was the decision. Sounds like conference tournaments are still on (except Ivy League).

The NFL Draft is April 23rd through 25th in Las Vegas. I know some of my colleagues are worried about it's status. I can't imagine the NFL will cancel it because those kids need jobs. But, I could see them scaling it back and not allowing fans to attend and of course no contact with Goodell like previous years.

Can't see it being cancelled (the NFL draft, that is). But there's no need to have it in any kind of venue. Teams can just make picks from their offices and ESPN can still show the picks being made.

Eh, I go back and forth. I get pretty annoyed at the sensationalism. At the same time, WHO has declared this a pandemic. The situation in places like Italy has gotten really bad. It has spread very rapidly and the percentage of deaths there is alarming. The best way to avoid the spread of something highly contagious is by taking steps like this to limit exposure. It of course will be hard to quantify how bad the situation would have been if these kinds of steps had not been taken.
