I agree with that.... Time to get better broadcasting deals here.... Televise the games in empty stadiums (let's be honest here.... The Florida Marlins have already been doing that, as have the San Diego Chargers and Milwaukee Bucks LOL).
Bro, I think we're all dying for any live sports these days. Honestly, I think they can pull it off if done right. I'm sure Dana has already called Trump to introduce him to DeSantis lol (at least I hope so!).

That would not surprise me, however I would benefit from that. The crazy thing about WWE being considered essential for the Florida economy, is that it's opened up discussions for a lot of other avenues... (Such as, isn't live production for those shows a critical part? And isn't them training on specific styles of MA critical?). Personally, I now demand to see the financial impact of WWE on even the Orlando economy (where the performance center is)... How much do they really boost it? And while they are considered essential, the law states no mass gatherings, so unless they build their own arena, no arena has to rent to them, or allow guests in (per state law).

If MMA became legal, than wouldn't that require MMA gyms to be open to train in (gyms are closed), training partners to have to come in (groups of more that 10, with coaches included).... Couldn't that mean that we could open our doors for other training too?

It's a slippery slope which is probably why folks like the CA governor didn't want to open that can of worms. I mean, I get it, but couldn't certain gyms hold private sessions for fighters who are booked in the next few months? I mean, I don't know how else anyone could get in a solid training camp otherwise. I'm sure they would have issues finding training/sparring partners as well.

As a fan, I want to ignore all of that and just watch the fuck out of some live MMA again but I'm fully aware of the logistical nightmare it must be for those who have to deal with it under the current climate.

my wife has a friend who's personally impacted by this situation with the WWE. I'm of the mind that we should get by without live sports for a month or two, because with contact tracing and serological testing, you're just seeding the next explosion of cases.

that's about all I can say on the matter, without getting people in hot water. I guess I can throw in a Fuck Vince. and a Fuck Ron.

I'm looking to get verification on this, but this little tidbit is floating around about the WWE and it being labeled as an "essential business" in Florida....

The Super PAC ran by Linda McMahon pledged to buy 18.5 million in television advertisements in Tampa and Orlando for Trump, after being declared an “essential business.”

It was sourced from Twitter (not reliable), but multiple sources are talking about it, especially with the WWE firing 30 people, and furloughing the rest, after being deemed essential, giving them the ability to do business operations in the Coronaverse. I guess they'll be looking for government handouts like every other corporation too.

looks like now he’s really about to go.
I took some time off coronanews the last days but Bozo probably has a flat earther lined up ready to lift the quarantine and send poor people to death.
i have some friends who run BJJ schools in Brazil...they're all convinced that chloroquine is going to save the world.
weird to watch people cherry-pick their science to meet their economic needs.

CDC director says US should brace for second wave of coronavirus to hit next year
The US should brace for a second wave of coronavirus cases to hit next year, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.

Dr. Robert Redfield said COVID-19 may turn out to be seasonal like other bugs such as the flu.

“I think we have to assume this is like other respiratory viruses, and there will be a seasonality to it,”

Didn’t Brazil just run an experiment with chloroquine and killed 8 people? They basically found that it doesn’t do anything and if you get dosages wrong the patients die from that over the covid19.

Pretty much. High doses of chloroquine lead to a very significant risk of QT prolongation and ventricular dysrhythmia.
