I didn’t see anyone calling for last year’s playoffs to be called off when half the Warriors’ team got injured and missed games.

That's the thing. Nobody is being forced. No one has to go to Orlando if they want to sit out for the protests. The ones who don't want to play can't turn it around and force everyone else to sit. That's the irony of the situation here

They are docking pay for anyone who doesn’t play. So yeah, they are forcing black people to risk their Health and do it in Florida where it is a **** show.

I'm fine if they want to have summer league in orlando, but it's not crazy to point out that this is expected to be an active storm season. They could have picked a better location, like you know anywhere but florida
What other spots would have the benefits Disney World offers in regards to sports venues (Wide World of Sports) and hotels/accommodations (30,000 hotel rooms at the resort at over 25 resorts)?
They didn't pick Disney because of where it is, but what it offers. It is essential to the return to play proposal.
Well someone earlier pointed out utah still has the facilities from the winter games a few years back which would have given then more room, more courts, and certainly better weather while in a state doing better with corona. Sure, I doubt nba players are jumping for joy over utah, but it's a start. I'm not sure where else as frankly I don't know anything at all about disney world. And why do they need hotels large enough for 30k people? Seems excessive.

Seems like the obvious choice would be somewhere in Canada.

I almost couldn't tell if this was a joke. Where in Canada specifically?

Why would it be a joke? Canada seems like the obvious choice because of their vastly superior handling of COVID-19 compared to the US. I figured a large city like Toronto or Vancouver has facilities that could handle this.
They'll be separated from the public. I think they'll work out something with the employees to stay inside the bubble too.LKN wrote:Can't imagine why they'd be worried about heading to Florida
