[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 730851, member: 959"] The challenge for me in all of this comes down to risk mitigation. It is natural for any of us regular joes to presume a set of variables that skew positive (making the assumption that things work out and allow us to 'open back up' and have sports). The people planning the season and the responses don't have the luxury of ungrounded optimism. We have seen people literally shooting and stabbing others for being asked to mask up. That prevents me from being able to presume positive intent or outcomes from everyone. What we have also seen over the last few months, is that a majority of the cases happen based off super spreader type infections. Good news is that it reduces the likelihood of you coming into contact with a spreader but if you do, then it increases the likelihood of you contracting the disease. At this point I think delaying for more data is an appropriate response from leadership. There isn't enough information to let us know how this will play out, and there isn't harm by pushing the decision date down the road while we wait to see if people will wake up and wear masks / social distance / do the necessary to slow and stop the virus.
