    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to All on Thursday, March 12, 2020 06:10:37
    Hello Everybody,

    The novel coronavirus is taking its toll.

    The NBA has suspended indefintely the rest of its basketball season.
    Although the season has not been officially cancelled, for all
    practical purposes it is over.

    The NCAA has decided to allow colleges to have its "March Madness"
    basketall tournament - but with no fans to watch the teams play.
    Why did the NCAA choose not to do what the NBA did? 90% of its
    revenue comes from the NCAA basketball tournament, that's why.
    But without any fans to attend the games, what is the point?

    Hockey will soon follow suit. The NHL is expected to make an
    announcement tomorrow morning. And then baseball, with MLB to
    do as the NBA and NHL. Oh what will this world be like without
    sports? We shall soon find out ...

    It's an illuminati plot -

    All college sports come to a dramatic halt

    March Madness? Won’t happen.

    The Frozen Four? Not this year.

    The NCAA Wrestling Championships? Done, too.

    The NCAA on Thursday made a colossal, far-reaching decision, announcing
    that it has canceled its men’s and women’s basketball championships,
    along with all remaining winter and spring sports championships, because
    of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    At various stages of life, I have been in all three groups. Before I
    retired, first group, always the second group, and in the past six years
    the third group because of these troubled times.
