RumbleFish posted:Thing is, the sports industry is a loving huge employer and economic driver. Stadiums alone have so many blue-collar workers handling security, selling concessions, cleaning up after games, etc. I know it's cool for goons to poo poo on "sportsball," but it's a pretty bad thing for sports to just not happen at all. those workers you mention are exactly the people who are most at risk if the stadiums remain open. I guarantee most of them and their families are thankful that they don’t have to risk their lives for a game. I’m a sports fan but literally everyone agrees that it’s the least essential thing we have in society. Even the Ultras in Milan who stab people over soccer are saying “stay at home, it’s just a game”.

Stefan Prodan posted:doctorate in clarinet would be pretty badass tho Double reed instruments require an insanely well developed embouchure to play at a skilled level, like decades of training mouth muscles Also as someone who plays brass instruments, the keys on any woodwind instrument look like the outside of a borg cube and oboe/bassoon are particularly wild looking

I'm not arguing for sports to be played with fans and support staff present, just pointing out that "lmao gently caress sportsball lmao" is kinda silly because there's more to it than just rich owners and athletes. I absolutely agree that it's for the best that stadiums remain closed.

Stefan Prodan posted:doctorate in clarinet would be pretty badass tho oboe and flute are the hardest woodwind instruments, clarinet is right behind them though. oboe takes a ridiculous amount of air pressure, so does clarinet but less so, oboe fingerings are super crazy and difficult and make less intuitive sense. flue is hard for its own reasons, but trust me, it's fuckin hard i took a year of flute lessons, a year of sax lessons, and a few years of bassoon lessons while getting my degrees too, was principle bassoon in the orchestra for a while actually. wheeee useless skills i can never use again in any context woo hoooo

Bernie Panders posted:why can’t they just elect Jess scarane, who will give them all the money they need She will do her very best, but it won't be possible for her to enact that kind of change on her own. What'll be best is for her to spearhead a very large and very loud movement demanding it over people like Senator Graham! There are many different ways to help support her if you are so inclined, of course.

They should just play all the NFL games in Aloha stadium and pay Hawaii to keep the airports closed. There have been one or two cases a day here for like two weeks, and we still have another month of mandatory stay at home orders. The NFL makes like $8B a year in profits, and the total tourism industry in Hawaii is only like $17B, so they could cover a lot of it. Bring all the players here, have them quarantine for two weeks, and then they just stay in Hawaii and play all the games at the same stadium. bing bong so simple

GATES FOUNDATION posted:Even when I showed you that the macroeconomic impact is minimal at best and that the jobs being created are garbage you're still going to die on this hill? Your example was based on football, which has a very short season, and I pointed out that most other sports have a shitload of games. Regardless, I'm not really in opposition to anything expressed here because I don't think or expect sports should be played this year, outside of maybe the NFL, which is just a generally unstoppable behemoth. It's gonna be interesting to see what happens with that because their offseason has largely been business as usual.
