Cannucklehead Posted July 28, 2020 Report Posted July 28, 2020 Although government officials have the right to order houses of worship to temporarily close their doors, they should be careful how they wield this power, Rabbi Moline said. And they did, just like they did to sports teams. Quote

I went to a funeral recently. Accommodations have to be made. Marriages are also happening. Just not extraordinarily expensive ones with 400 people. Quote
Boges Posted July 28, 2020 Author Report Posted July 28, 2020 Baptism can also happen in a COVID-19 world. Quote

The point of all this are the obvious inconsistencies, for sports and non-sports activities alike. It seems that many protestors do wear mask. Athletes are regularly tested and they aren't playing in front of crowds. It should work fine. Quote

It really does, I missed it dearly. Just to be clear. Canada's decision to not let the Jays go back and forth to play games in the US is supported by you. I'm not sure what we're debating anymore.

Older people have lived through many sports strikes, lockouts, replacement players, hurricanes, etc. and survived just fine. The Blue Jays as vagabonds are just one more comical chapter in the story.
