    Very good reason. Not sure why everything evolves into a political discussion for some people SMH

      I agree.

      BUT this thing is unusual. There are all kinds of questions to be asked as well as concerns/fears/etc.

      I think there are questions to be asked of the President and also Congress. Right and left. It appears we were all way too caught unawares by this, and you can't just put the President in the firing line.

      But with that said, we definitely are too hyper-partisan these days and want to distill most every situation into politics...yet there are also some people who are way too sensitive of politics and when "their guy" is criticized, they get frazzled and overly emotional and call for the conversation to be shut down.

        So you’re getting your nonsense elsewhere?

          There are all kinds of Alex Jones knock-offs who stir up the same type of stuff he did.

            Yes, but when the show opened, Matt said that he didn't think they would end up playing games going forward.

              Because, like it or not, we are a country in search of leadership. And it's evident that we're not getting it sufficiently. I would make this argument about either party.

                Donovan Mitchell has coronavirus.

                I read that Gobert had been touching things in the locker room and joking about the disease. I hope that was before he tested positive but can't say for sure.

                    Jazz players say that he has been walking around touching players' belongings and doing joke-coughs for the past week.

                      Why should they play when there IS a risk to them and there families, if there is no risk why were the crowds cancelled at all. Yes these young men can PROBABLY shrug it right off BUT if infected they then carry the virus for up to 10 days to 2 weeks depending on who you listen to. Perhaps they infect someone that CAN’T shrug it off. People’s attitude about this is simply unbelievable, they blithely discount the threat to people’s lives over a blasted basketball game, really are wethat callous. But hey sit at home and watch the games in the comfort and SAFTEY of your den. If the kids or the coaches get infected or infect some old dude that has been around too long anyway, it’s no skin off your Ashtabula anyway.

                        Unfortunately, this is not true.

                        And if not Alex Jones, there are a hundred morons with a platform just like him that people do listen to.

                        And, frankly, some of the stuff you've been posting on this thread sounds very Jones-ish.

                          So you and Alex Jones just happen to spout the same nonsense?

                            And he was the one that said if it was up to him, he wouldn't play the games.

                              This is true. But I don't need a politician or a leader, for leadership. I look to others and use my common sense to run my life. And I don't need them to be an example of who I am and the way I treat others. I hardly pay attention to anything politicians say at this point. Just live your life and be a the best person you can be.

                                Jones is a guy who learned he could make money by stirring chaos, and that became a kind of performance art act for him. Unfortunately, it got him rich before his demons caught up with him.

                                Unfortunately he spawned a lot more people just like him. Many of these people run Facebook groups and so on. We talk about "fake news" a lot in this country, but that sort of thing is the real fake news. And Americans have to be more discerning than to believe some of the stuff those people say on social media and on their YouTube channels.

                                It's going to be a real problem going into the elections...and honestly it's likely going to be a problem through this coronavirus thing.
