    Based on the reality of what's going on in the real world and knowing sports entertainment is a business there's really nothing to expect in an ongoing apocalyptic situation. Money to be made in jammed packed arenas, parking, concessions, and signings at merchandising stores is off the table. The cause and effect in advertising also takes a big chunk of revenues from media outlets. To pretend like sports is even remotely the same experience is a fallacy.

    Is there anybody actually pretending like sports is the same?? I think you just built a straw man.

    It's just comprised BS so I wonder if players are playing out of good will for the love the game. The business end should be an after thought.

    Are you working out of good will or for love of your job?

    We are all trying to live through this together.

    It's obvious their compensation is comprised due to the unprecedented circumstances. Not preach of contract if read the print. Now does that make it so they aren't as competitive as they could possibly be?
