I hope this shite is resolved soon...But I'm wondering at what point, games start getting canceled.

Right, I mean if schools start closing, it's reasonable to think people might be hesitant to be crammed into an arena.

Bc even if they had to play games in empty arenas there is still much TV money to give up by canceling games.

Fear wins every day and twice on Sunday, even if said fear is the result of media sensationalism.

The Long Island bit seems worrisome. Certainly plausible to see an effect on sporting events given what's transpired in Italy.

With thousands and thousands of people feared to have the virus in California, I can’t imagine large events NOT being canceled soon.

FWIW, Italy has closed soccer games to fans from this already.

Some small town kn northern California may cancel a high school basketball game over this. No major university is going to start cancelling games. Neither are the warriors, lakers, clippers, kings, ducks, sharks, Padres, Dodgers, angels, giants, or a's

shite would have to hit the fan in a major way for any major sporting event to get cancelled

You give the media a couple weeks.

They’ll have morons fearing for their lives in no time.
