Baseball is in the early stages of resumption, but the whole thing is already a mess

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.On Sunday, Toronto FC was set to resume its Major League Soccer season with a 9 a.m. game against D.C. United.

These outfits were supposed to arrive contagion-free. So that part was either botched, or they got it inside the bubble or some combination thereof. But clearly, the call is coming from inside MLS’s house. Once someone starts talking gibberish, your hand should instinctively move to your wallet. You are about to be fleeced.When the NHL announced its restart plan, there was a Top Secret clause inserted:

If nothing else, you have to admire the NHL’s cheek. This isn’t a family of four being reunited after a long separation. It’s a business asking Canadians for a special favour. And our reward for granting it is being told to shut up and leave them alone.Baseball is in the early stages of resumption. The whole thing is already a mess.Several stars – mainly those who’ve already made their money and don’t need one season of pro-rated salary – have opted out.

When it was pointed out that ballplayers would face the same legal remedies as anyone else if they were caught breaking quarantine, Jays third baseman Travis Shaw did an online double-take. Well, he wasn’t until Sunday afternoon, when the Jays pushed him out to explain why he didn’t mean what he meant.

It's clear Jays should play their games in FL. Less onerous on the players, and less insulting for Canadians. Sooo over it and them.

I’m absolutely fed up with all professional sports. This virus is deadly, we need to stop the spread, create a vaccine & save lives. We don’t need baseball/basketball/football/hockey/soccer. The season 2020 is a write off. If owners, players etc. have no money? Join the club!

Then don't play..

AH..the life of millionaires! The gaslighting by ALL sports teams has started. Ford delusionally allows the NHL Trojan horse to be brought into Toronto. More bad MLB behaviour like last week's is to come.

No perfect choice for Blue Jays as players speak mind on quarantine situation - Sportsnet.caThere’s no perfect choice for the Blue Jays as to where to play home games, as each option has plusses and minuses and there’s no realistic chance of unanimity across the roster. ShiDavidi DC ShiDavidi Accommodate the players and have them play in the US. Nobody is at the games anyway, so taking away the threat of a 750000 fine seems like a good idea.
