News at Clemson: School announces that 28 athletes have tested positive for COVID-19. They didn't not break it down by sport, but a significant number of the 28 positive tests are football players. More at @YahooSports: https://t.co/euLeyDIKUe
Major League Baseball will close all spring training sites in Arizona and Florida for deep cleaning and will not permit players or staff members until they pass a COVID-19 test.

So cheer the fuck up, assholes
You can be optimistic all you want, but I think tasking other people with 'cheering up' is callous and narcissistic.
Oh, is other people's despair harshing your mellow? [Reply]

Exactly. It gives you zero faith that they know what they're doing. You just have to be a reasonably well-informed citizen to know this stuff - yet somehow MLB doesnt?

Any activity that increases that, such as loud voices, shouting, singing, that we all know can enhance the virus being aerosolized or basically put into the air.

The chances are slim and with the likelihood of kneeling and the out poring of dislike over that mantra it might be a blessing in disguise if there was no season. [Reply]
So if there were no season, which none of us want to happen, I wonder if we would have to resign the free agents that were signed this year (Watkins, Pennel, DRob, etc.). [Reply]

At least two Buccaneers’ players now have tested positive for COVID-19, per sources. Earlier this week one Buccaneers’ coach tested positive and two other assistants were quarantined. So add Tampa to the growing list of teams and schools with positive COVID-19 tests.

He's also well versed and tenured in doing exactly what he is throwing out there with that post. Some new guy called him a legend around here last night. It was a real WTF moment. [Reply]
