I forgot to bet against MLS. America is going to slaughter Atlanta.

Edit: to be clear this has more to do with fixture congestion and early season fitness..

The NBA just suspended their season because a player tested positive, so I'm sure we'll have that to look forward to soon.

It's incredibly bullshit that I can't go to a game but I'm still expected get on a crowded train and go to work.

Please note I'm not advocating for MLS to continue but for other businesses to wise the gently caress up. Someone in my firm already tested positive and I'm still at the office.

Guess that’ll clear up some fixture congestion whenever the leagues get back to normal.

I would love to see MLS clubs drop out too, leaving just the amateur teams. But they'd probably just cancel the whole thing.

Send an email to HR innocently asking "If someone gets sick at work and a family member dies could we get sued?"

On a soccer note maybe this will give the Timbers time to get ready for the MLS season.

Honestly I am fine with suspending play for a month if it means we get Lodeiro back in Seattle regardless of the actual good reasons to stop.

I imagine it would be something like that, but it's going to be kind of were when you have an uneven amount of inter-vs-intra conference games between the teams.

I imagine CCL, Campeones and USOC are as good as cancelled since they'll just make matters worse for leagues trying reschedule poo poo.

I think at this point they either extend the season a lot to fit all the games in, or they just cancel it entirely.

I guess another option would be to nullify the games already played, and then just do a home/away with every other team in the same conference with what is left of the season. Would be a scheduling nightmare since every team shares their stadium with concerts/college sports/nfl/cfl/etc.

Tonight's MLS replay is the portland vs KC double post game. If you look at some points in the shootout you can see me behind the goal rolling on 30mg of edible weed and about 4 Fort George IPAs.

NE Revs have been Facebook streaming a FIFA 20 match against their regularly scheduled MLS opponents every game day, promptly at game time, since MLS suspended play.

It freaked me out when it first popped up on my Facebook notifications, since it looked exactly like the Revs regularly scheduled live streaming before every MLS match but I wasn't at Gillette because MLS was suspended, so....

There were a lot more people at the fake Revs FIFA 20 "home" stadium than normally show up at Gillette, naturally.

I think there were over 6,000 people watching the FIFA 20 live stream on Facebook on March 15 when the stream first started, which is probably more than half the numbers of those who actually showed up at Gillette on March 7.

Not surprising, but league HQ announced they're going to follow the CDC recommendations RE: gatherings of 50 people, so league play is now postponed until at least May 10th.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
