It's funny. Of the 3 major sports, baseball is #3 for me, so I mostly use it as background noise when I'm doing stuff around the house or am online...so it really wasn't all that different for me.

You know what's not a sport? nascar. Driving in circles for 3+ hours while wearing an adult diaper simply isn't a sport.

I wanna see beer pong in the next Olympics. I don't care if it's the summer or winter games.

Not alarmist so this isn't getting nearly the coverage it would if, say, 30+ tested positive. Too bad for the news outlets?

Why would it?

30+ cases is a legit cause for concern and would probably cancel the season

Zero cases and it's business as usual. Hardly newsworthy.

I tried watching 2 games last night and the feel just wasn’t close to there for me. Maybe will be better when the games mean a little more but we will see. Will take some getting used to I guess.
I hear ya...to be fair, at least for me, I could never watch a reg. season baseball game if I don't care who wins. But I did tune into to one to see what it was like with no fans.

zero cases out of 300 tests is pretty good news, no?

It is. That's why it's been reported. How else would we get this news?

It's been all over ESPN, twitter, NBA.com and every tv show around the NBA. What more would you want?

I don't know.

30 cases, obviously newsworthy as it would be unexpected to have that many. Plus, as you said, it would put the re-start in serious danger.

1-5 cases, not really newsworthy because it's probably about what was expected.

But zero cases? That wasn't expected. It seems newsworthy because obviously somebody's doing something right.

If they continue to have zero positives seems like it would be a better look if they decreased the amount of tests they used while the rest of the country is on a backlog

30 cases would be all over CNN and MSN, as well. Hell, 10-15 might be.
