    As long as they practice social distancing and wear masks they should be fine. If you guys want basketball to stay around someone has to be the pioneer.

    Texas and Florida, two states where small business can still actually operate and people can continue to provide for their families. No one handled it impeccably because no one knew wtf it was. Its time to move on and continue with our lives.

    Texas and Florida, two of the only large states under the US average for COVID-19 deaths per 1 million people..... you might want to pick your battles better.

    Not to stir up a wasp's nest, but isnt Fertitta part of the faction that never believed in masks and downplayed Covid to begin with?

    What is the league maximum of fans allowed in an arena?

    The truth is if someone wants to 'live their life' and take certain risks, normally that's fine; it's their life. The problem with this logic in the pandemic that it's also selfishness. Those people could infect the rest of us, as they still go to other public places like the grocery store or use the ATM.

    It's like peeing in a public pool, where you may not care it's your urea, but is somehow surprised when other people frown on you.

    If you're scared, stay locked at home in your basement, then no one can infect you.

    Your fear shouldn't mean others can't live their lives.

    This guy (Fertitta) kept/keeps a white tiger caged indoors, inside a box in downtown Houston. He doesn't care about anything or anyone, just his money, his family and his "celebrity".

    sadly this was always going to be the case and to pretend otherwise is wasting one's time. The A in USA doesn't stand for Altriusm and frankly the human species as a whole will never 100% completely be Altruistic. We are savage animals after all. With that in mind, instead protect yourself as best as you can while the other animals run wild!

    Do you know anyone personally that have caught it or have had it yourself? I can tell you from personal experience it's no fun not being able to breath without full lung capacity. It's not about being scared, it's about science.
