This certainly doesn’t look good for the NHL or MLB’s seasons either. This may be a year without sports due to Coronavirus.

@Itchakadoozie very true….. Hashem gave us sports leagues so the goyim will be busy watching lebron james and will not focus on anti semitism but now that there is no sports they need something to do and history says what they usually do……… may Hashem help us
Amen
Donovan Mitchell also confirmed to have it
Overkill
Warriors finals streak will be coming to an end.
I hope the players can survive, if you could send them the Purim money collected it would be greatly appreciated.
Will the XFL and Wrestlemania be cancelled too?
LeBron James is a baby.
Jazz and Thunder players are currently quarantined at the arena, league sources tell ESPN.
Players from teams the Jazz have played within last 10 days are being told to self quarantine, sources tell ESPN’s Brian Windhorst. Those teams are the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons and the Toronto Raptors.
That’s basically the whole DansDeals readership area. Oy vey!
No sports can mean higher rates of anti Semitism. May HaShem protect us all and find an outlet for people who will have more time and frustrations on their hands.
No sports can mean higher rates of learning Torah.
May Hashem open our hearts to his Torah, especially for Yidden who will have more time on their hands.
True too. But sports is a blessing to keep people busy and distracted.
I guess the kosher hot dog stand at progressive field decided to reopen during the worst time
Yes, but….DOES IT INCLUDE ISRAEL!?
What about Air Serbia?
Its space jam!!
Wonder if the players will still get their millions in pay or if they will need a stimulus package.
NO PLAY NO PAY THEY DO NOT GET PAID!
