Sports leagues can keep fans from entering the stadium. But the question has to be asked: What do they do with the ones outside of it? williamfleitch writes
Good luck trying to prevent this. Photo: Tony Avelar/AP/Shutterstock A steady stream of gasp-inducing gaggles across America flickered past on our screens, whether it was beachgoers in Maryland, people throwing money out of their cars at crammed-together crowds in Florida, or some truly demented tubers in Missouri. These scenes tempered any enthusiasm we might have had about declining case numbers and the incremental reopening of states across the country.
Which leads us, inevitably, to sports. This week, the most prominent leagues started putting together concrete schedules for returning. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced his league’s return-to-play plans on Tuesday afternoon, the MLB owners submitted their economic proposal for the new season to the players union, and the NBA solidified their plan to finish their season at Walt Disney World in Orlando.
The speedway manager defended the gathering, saying, “This place doesn’t live off hopes and dreams. This place costs money to operate and we need to operate.” And the local sheriff’s department said it wouldn’t crack down on the operator, because the state’s order was “too vague concerning race tracks.” The incident speaks to a truth about sports: The pull of the game has, in many ways, little to do with the event itself.
