Will COVID-19 be the needle that finally bursts the sports bubble?

That is exactly the formula used by France and Germany to provide economic assistance now. Instead of unemployment benefits, they subsidize the salaries of workers who temporarily have no effective work to perform. The theory is that this makes the restarting of the economy much easier because there has been less disruption.

 

Russia basically extended that "national paid holiday" from one week to one month. But it doesn't apply to essential workers who still have jobs. Unlike here, where everyone gets a check even if they haven't lost a thing.

 

Just Fox being Fox

 

He's a man. He's 40 ... err, 52!

 

He referred to this as “the Chinese virus.”
He’s straight out of the Dabo School of Trumpist Thought.
And he, like Saint Dabo, is a millionaire because of black athletes, whose fellow African Americans are dying at disproportionately high rates in the Trumpandemic.
I wonder if he’ll face more criticism than Dabo, called by one fawning national media member, “exactly what America needs.”

 

This is what I'm talking about: Why does Mike Gundy have a net worth of $10 million? He's not even in the top 100 of what he does.

 

He also mentioned he was spending a lot of time watching OAN because it's more trustworthy than other news channels. He's about a year away from being a full-blown Alex Jonesian Qanon fan.

 

A year?
More like a week.

 

He lives in Stillwater.
Which, come to think of it, is kind of like Clemson. Only flatter.

 

Gundy said this poorly. No getting around that.

But I've written it elsewhere on this thread: I'd be hard-pressed to believe that 120 football players are safer in their individual hometowns - almost certainly not staying home that much, even in some hot zones for the virus - than they would be in a controlled environment, on campus, sequestered in dorms, checked daily for their health. Maybe my position is anecdotal, but I just find it unlikely that where they're at is better than where they could be.
