I wish someone had the guts to make the call but I realize the stakes are real high for the season to proceed.
I agree with you on all points. See it can happen! (PA and the Peninsula also has the advantage of being a very wealthy area).
I think the biggest problem is the locker room. Or in baseball the clubhouse. You just can’t avoid the “closeness” in those areas. Social distancing etc becomes impossible. Of course you also can have on field issues. I remember when Olson hit a walk off grand slam for the A’s they had the traditional everybody at home plate celebration. Not good. Understandable. Muscle memory. The Giants were a little better when Yaz hit the walk off. They got in a circle jumped up and down but we’re somewhat apart.
I’m “often wrong, seldom uncertain.“ But I never thought they’d start major league baseball and at this point I’ll be surprised if they’re playing it next week at this time. I just don’t see college football happening. And I don’t believe it should.
