The bubbles are working.
NBA and NHL spent a lot of money and the players have to spend months away from home/family, but it work. And going to Canada was a nice touch too, NHL.
MLB's plan of let's just play and test is not working. A MLB season is not like an office job where you can just work from home if you get Covid. The Marlins and Cardinals are getting lots of games "postponed" which is affecting tons of other teams too. The Braves have played 10 games. The Marlins have played 3. So have the Phillies.
The NFL is watching this and apparently going, sure this is fine. Let's do what MLB is doing.
And college sports? We know college students are still going to go to bars, not wear masks, etc. College sports have the least chance of anything of happening.
Which is a shame because Illinois is actually really good. Or at least they are on paper. Remains to be seen what college campuses and sports and actually look like.
My advice: better enjoy the NBA and NHL bubble. Who knows what we'll get after this.
My hope is that the NFL learns from the mistakes of MLB. It seems like lengthening the season to accommodate COVID cancellations is a no-brainer. The rest is difficult.
