SEC Tournament Cancelled

[Tennesseefan2019]

Masters? Kentucky Derby? Indy 500? Bonnaroo?

I think the start of the MLB 2020 season may wind up postponed for 30 days

Summer Olympics?

Summer Olympics?

Tokyo said the Olympics will go on as planned

Golf isn't bad without spectators.

Watching golf is bad with or without spectators. Unless you count the benefit of the nap

Tokyo said the Olympics will go on as planned

That's not Tokyo's decision. It's the IOC's and Abe is worried sick (no pun intended) they'll be delayed or canceled after the absurd amount of money his government has spent on the games.

I don’t understand why everyone keeps saying overreaction. Was Italy overreacting when they closed the country? I mean that’s HUGE compared to canceling a tournament. I don’t know about you guys but I would prefer the hospitals not be overwhelmed with sick peoples because we are worried about overreacting.

Thanks China.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Thanks China.

I think Coronavirus will probably be the death of the XFL

Thanks China.

This is China’s fault? No, this would never be happening if we weren’t paying Barnes $5 million

There's a ton of government money involved with that, I don't think they'll get cancelled

Why don't we stop everything every year when flu season starts?

Welp...the NCAA Tournament is next. If it isn't cancelled, there will almost certainly be a postponement of at least 30 days. My question is what does "latest developments" mean? Does a coach or player in the SEC have the virus? Seems like if there weren't any significant changes from what was known last night, they would've continued on with the plan of playing with no fans in attendance.

NBA suspending its season. They saw first hand what can happen when a player tests positive. Now, Donovan Mitchell tested positive. It can spread quickly in a team environment.

Fwiw, he was the only other Jazz player / staff / personnel who tested positive.
Still, sweat, coughing, sneezing, no time to wash hands on the court and with how many other players they intermingle with...

Because there is a vaccine for the flu, and it doesn't spread as quickly as corona. I think some of this has been overblown. A doctor told me Monday that it is a bit overblown, but he also said that the scary part is that this is not something we have seen before. It's just different than the flu. It is best to be cautious.

Is spring ball canned too?

We would’ve won the sec tourney and then won the whole damn thing, prove me wrong

Did I miss where multiple countries are picking who lives and dies because hospitals are overwhelmed with people deathly sick from the flue? Did flu season shut down a country like it’s WW2? This is more about limiting how quickly this spreads and overwhelms hospitals more than anything.

Makes you wonder if they do have the NCAA tourney, some schools turn it down out of Corona fears....

I agree with this. Is it being way overblown? Most likely. But you don't know that for sure. The saying "better safe than sorry" makes sense. It sucks to see all these events being cancelled but at the end of the day, being cautious is smart. But what isn't smart is going into a full blown panic and buying up supplies like a damn zombie apacolypse is about to go down any day now. People still have to live their lives somewhat normally.

All of the conference tournaments being cancelled so close together makes me thing the decision was flowed down from a higher source. I think the NCAA tournament is cancelled.
