COVID-19 - Leagues Suspended

From an AP sports reporter, italy suspending all sports including Serie A.


ETA: despite the source this seems sketchy. Does the Olympic committee have jurisdiction over all private sports?

Not sure many players will want to be flying reg airlines back to their countries. Way different than a chartered plane/coach clubs take.
 
So I got tickets for Wednesday's game in jersey.
now im debating on going or not. I'll make sure to be careful but it would suck to hear that someone at the game has the virus.
on one hand, ill dont mind staying home but i would love to see a "Sold out" RBA game.

thoughts?
 
Imagine playing footy in an empty stadium? Must be pretty eerie. Also I doubt if it came to that they would ever even open up yankee stadium for that. I could see them playing at Fordham or Columbia, etc. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that!

I thought we were banned from Fordham. Just play at the training facility.
 

 
Multiple sources also said that the league would prefer to postpone and reschedule matches rather than play them behind closed doors. Allowing fans in the stands obviously makes for a better experience for all — supporters, teams, players, broadcasters, viewers and employees — but it also crucially preserves a key piece of revenue for teams. The sources said that, compared to teams in other North American sports leagues, MLS clubs derive a disproportionate amount of their revenue from match days. Losing out on the money generated by ticket, concessions and merchandise sales would be a serious financial hit for more than a few clubs.

This seems notable to our conversation.

Santa Clara county (San Jose, California) has banned gatherings of 1,000+ people, including sports events, until April 1.

The Earthquakes are scheduled to host a game on March 21. That game either has to be rescheduled or played behind closed doors.

now that we have more cases than the state of washington i feel like cuomo will go ahead and do this by the end of the week.

EDIT: IF the home games are postponed......i think we have more RBA home games in the future. no way in hell we play those games again in YS.

It’s already here. We just haven’t tested people. Once it hit Grand Central, it was game over from a containment perspective. So yes, there will be people at RBA that have it.

So Nelson Jay I don’t know where you work, but you’ve already interacted with someone or multiple people that are carriers
