A bubble? With 32 teams and approximately 1,800 players total. That's not even remotely feasible.

Greed drives.

You’d think the clear face shields that some players wear would help. Although with that kind of contact.. have to admit mlb did an outstanding job. Who would have thought Cardboard fans, fake crowd noise and 60 game Reg season would work!

1 game already back on.. Nfl doing just fine! Keep up the great work. Was so tired of watching professional marble racing this year.

What did they think would happen 🤷🏽‍♀️

They started their season on schedule, so they have plenty of time to reschedule games/playoffs that won't effect next season. I think they will continue on and be better, MLB took some lumps early on and cleaned it up.

The maganuts are losing everywhere

The NFL is playing?

I am surprised NBA & hockey made it... MLB barely made it.
