Fair enough

I actually disagree that he is dumb. I think he knows exactly what he is doing/saying and why. The issue is WE, (or at least most people) don't know. For the most part, when a president speaks everyone understands where he is coming from and what his motives are/have been. With Trump his motives are almost never clear (Which I believe he's doing purposely) and he panders more then any other president in the history of that country. But dumb..I don't think so. He knows what he's doing. For good or bad, he knows...

It's paid hours. I'm working more then I was before this. And the company I work for has been hiring on an almost continuous bases to keep up with demand since this has started.

I've heard worse ideas!

This is the same for literally every country.

I think it'd be close to that. You'd have to factor in ticket cost, concessions and even possibly the store purchases. Plus many households come to games together...so instead of 3 or 4 tickets, it's one PPV. And parking sales too, though I don't know where that revenue goes to.

Oh ok, I hadn't seen that. So one hurdle down!! yay! lol

Yes, but I don't think it would be smart to base ratings on something was free when talking about something that would not be, especially when that product would likely be close to if not over $100 per person.

Another hurdle that has been talked about..but not nearly enough. Is the American players. Would they be able to come over?

The draft was free...

On top of all those things, youd still be putting your health at in the hands of some idiots (there are always idiots) who think they know better and would undoubtedly ignore the rules.

This...while the games are outside, theres the whole getting to and from your seats...bathrooms, concessions etc. I also dont spend 3+ hours in the grocery store. Nor do I attend the grocery store with 2 other people who dont live with me. On top of that, basically my entire section is season ticket holders (211 lower section, what up!!). So who moves and to where? And if I'm moving, I'd hope/expect a better seat as I'm sure most people would...if the seats are significantly worse/cheaper then what I paid for am I compensated?

The ppv would need be to ridiculously expensive to work Unfortunately.

Change takes time. And has already started via CFL 2.0 and trying to get the world to watch which will bring more TV contracts which means less reliance on ticket sales. Your take on this is surprisingly ignorant

I love(? Maybe not the right word) that these type of people think they'd stand even the slightest chance against the government if it decided to go rogue and attack the people. Enjoy shooting those fancy rifles at drones and missiles. I also get a chuckle out the guys who do their best Chris Farley, fat man in a tiny jack routine but in bullet proof vest instead.

I know, that's the shitty part. You just can't ever be sure unless you've been tested...and even then, the only way you can be 100% sure is if everyone has tested positive for the antibodies because you could theoretically catch it 10 min before a visit...

Honest question, assuming everyone is healthy. Are we able to have extended family dinners (grandparents or aunt/uncle) assuming we stay under 10 people....?

I can believe this. Not a chance in hell I would have taken my kids to see this in theatre. But to rent it at home where I can bugger off and do what I need to while the kids watch it...sure.

From what I saw, the full $150mill would only be necessary if there is no season. I think for a short season they were requesting $30mil...I'll try and find where I saw that.

Anything fun come of out this?

Need is a key word. I've had to explain wants and needs (not to anyone on this board) FAR too many times to grown adults during this pandemic. No, you're yoga class is not something you NEED to attend, No you don't NEED to have a band practice. No you don't NEED a board game night.

It's not. I've said it mutiple times. In times of desperation (war, famine, illness etc.) Sports is always...ALWAYS. The first to go. As seen by the NBA/NHL etc. Making it essential would be a very bad mistake by any political party.

there won't ever be CFL football with no fans. It's not financially possible for any CFL team. The CFL is a ticket driven league. Also no open borders. No american players. No CFL ball. The CFL is talking the good talk right now. As they should be, because anything is possible. Don't cancel until there is absolutely no other choice/time left. But unless some kind of miracle occurs, I just don't see how any sport is played this year, outside of the NFL which doesn't need fans in the stands.

I forgot how much I hated Sanchez as a player. Just a total ass, who played dirty. Thankfully he never played for the bombers. That kickoff from the oppositions 40 or whatever was pretty awesome too. I forgot about that. Should have just tried for an onside kick rather then going for the TD...

hands down the absolute worse take on this topic.
