People better get used to a lack of many sporting events.

More to come, surely.

I had actually read that. I suspect they are simply the very first. I don't know a whole lot about college sports, but I'm going to guess that once some relatively minimal number of schools outside the Ivy League cancel, all of the rest will also.

I will also say, that although I'm not much of a fan of most sport, I have a lot of sympathy for the young men and women whose lives are being upended, who would have competed during this coming school year and gone on to professional careers which simply might not happen.

I feel bad for them too, despite how I've long considered it foolish to be obsessed about such things.

Yet they can still spread it around to less young and healthy people.

The reckless behavior that's been promoted by right-wingers is revolting when there's so many disturbing reports of the effects.

I really just do not see it happening.

like nothing we've seen before.

Maybe not, but it won't surprise me. And my guess is that they'll be a bunch of non-maskers too.

The fans of the Kansas City Chiefs are nearly world renowned for their tail gating. I understand that the network people who cover those games are delighted with a Kansas City assignment.

It's easy to imagine that even without any games this fall, fans will show up at Arrowhead Stadium to tailgate. While not wearing masks could be dumb, they will be outside in the open air which is vastly safer than being inside.

Oh. I just had a sudden thought. Are Catholic confessions still happening?

I don't know the details, but it seems like they're trying to spread it. Hope not!
