Not looking good for football

ND-Navy in Ireland either won’t happen or played in the USA. My guess anyway.

Why would they cancel an event like 4 months away? Who knows what this will look like then

The timeline of sports cancellations sucks
Each day it's like "Wimbledon is cancelled? Well that's the end of June"..."Oh, now The Open, there's mid-July"

They'll be cancelling the Super Bowl by next week.

Still don’t think football is very much in jeopardy? Golf may be the easiest sport to play without a crowd (of course, no one wants to see that). We’re already canceling events in mid-July. And we think 100,000 people gatherings are going to go forward?
Every sport is in CYA mode now and all are scared to step out of the shadows and say they are moving forward as usual. Football has time. Hopefully the powers that be won’t panic just yet

They have an insurance clause that covers a global pandemic. The event has to be canceled by a certain date in order to collect. Same with Wimbledon

Just a reminder that Rudy Gobert played 32 minutes against the Raptors 2 days before testing positive for the virus. Ran up and down a court with 9 other guys, sweating on them, leaning on them, touching his face, touching the ball, passing the ball...
No members of the Raptors have tested positive and only 1 other Jazz player tested positive. For a super contagious, world quarantining virus it sure is particular about who it infects.

Golf's - and especially the British Open's - problem isn't that you couldn't conceivably play it at that point in time. I would guess safely getting 150 players + a skeleton television crew together is well within what could be OK by that point. The British Open's problem is that qualifying starts months in advance at places all over the world. Wimbledon's problem is that the grass is only fit for professional play for a brief period out of the year.

PGA tour planning for a June restart.
Posted on 4/6/20 at 10:20 am to Dawgsontop34
People need to bash them
Golf is restarting in June. That was just announced. The British canceled purely for monetary reasons. Which is their choice , but we should still bash them for being twats

Wimby and the open have good insurance policies and cancelled for purely for the money.

Why, it's not for 3 more months?

As people have said in here, Wimbledon and British Open jumped the gun a bit because they have insurance and probably just want to get paid instead of stringing out a decision and possibly missing out on that. I have no idea how pandemic insurance works.
