Will ESPN have to close their doors, if the coronavirus sports ban continues more than a couple weeks?
Will NASCAR see a resurgence in popularity, in TV ratings, since it appears to be the only sport in town now?
Where will all the sports betting money go now? The Lottery?
Will ESPN the OCHO have to make a comeback?
eSports continue with contestants in isolation booths (or online) playing their video games.
Thought it was really odd not to see a tv schedule in the newspaper sports section. Everything has shut down.
I really only follow the NFL so it isn’t affecting me much.
Once they cancel the draft it gets real!
I pretty much just watch golf. Having the Players cancelled and the Masters postponed is a big deal. Hopefully that gets rescheduled in the fall or something.
Big Mets fan and they typically only have a winning record in April and May, so their year is shot already.
Quoted from jints56:March Madness and the Masters. 2 events Welcoming spring that I look forward to every year. Guess I’ll be watching cornhole tourneys on espn.
Or bowling!
I follow sports, but mostly NBA. watch every Warriors game and subscribe to the Athletic. Some sports blogs.
For most of my adult life, I’ve felt that if the cult of sports (college/pro) went away I’d be the better for it. That it’s a big time suck - can be a money suck - and a major distraction from keeping up with things that matter a lot more. I mean, 365 days a year it’s sports sports sports. Always an excuse to pop a top and turn on the game. But it’s a huge habit for me, and I just give in to it.
So now I’ll get to find out. I’m already bored to tears filtering through the Athletic. I’ve gone from reading 3-5 articles a day and the blogs to maybe 1. And that article seems like filler. Believe me, I’m not going to follow the coronavirus via a sports rag.
I suspect life will improve. And with luck, I’ll rid myself of the habit.

In the NBA, you want to be either really good or really bad. Warriors are tanking the right steps after being in the finals last season.
I was super bummed on March Madness especially since it was cancelled - not postponed. I can live with all the others being delayed and some would not care if cancelled............BUT............the NFL............................That gets postponed or worse yet cancelled - I am going into a deep depression..............

Hey I just cooked for myself for two days. Probably the healthiest two days of food for me in years.
Silver lining is we may improve our habits in one way or another.
This afternoon I watched 4 live horse races on the Churchill Downs channel. Then I switched over to watch the 1993 Daytona 500 on YouTube.
PlutoTV has an NFL channel that shows replays. MLB.tv has an archive of spring training broadcasts.
Desperate times.
No interest in sports ar all, but am sorry to see the vendors, food, shirt peoplle out of work now!!
Just turned onthe 1981 epic in Miami for my kid on youtube. Most of the best games are on youtube for free. If you dont already know the score its as good as the real thing. No commercials are great but 40 year old commercials with the games are even better.
World Cup cross-country ski races scheduled for next week in Minneapolis called off because of virus threat 
Alpine skiing World Cup Finals canceled due to coronavirus concern 
Mikaela Shiffrin’s chances of extending her three-year reign as overall champion took another hit when the alpine skiing World Cup Finals in Italy were canceled Friday because of the virus outbreak. 
A Gold (resized).jpggold jessie diggins (resized).jpgGood one! I haven't watch the epic in Miami for a few years.
Was really looking forward to the Nascar race on Sunday even though they all drive the same cars now.
Quoted from loneacer:Anybody watch WWE last night? I rarely watch, but saw it was on when searching for something to watch. No fans. Wrestling in an empty building, but still playing it up to an invisible crowd. It was bizarre.
Couldn't be any weirder than the disaster that was Colbert and Fallon on thursday. I felt bad for them.
Fallon was doing as good as he could have but Colbert was a mess.
Quoted from o-din:Good one! I haven't watch the epic in Miami for a few years.

Bring back some reruns from the 70’s and 80’s.
didn’t care when they were on, not phased by them being off either. I’m enjoying listening to sports fans complain and cry about it though
Only reason I have a TV is for the NHL Package on DirecTV. Probably means I am gonna pull that plug, finally.
...also kinda bummed I won't get to see Astros getting plunked.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Fallon was doing as good as he could have but Colbert was a mess.
Shocking 
We turned off our Comcast tv service months ago and I haven’t missed sports at all. More time with family, we are streaming movies and tv shows instead
I save money from this as I no longer have a need for Hulu since about all I watch on it are sports in the evening.
CORONAVIRUS & TENNIS—ATP, ITF SUSPEND FOR 6 WEEKS; SOME WTA EVENTS OFF
Following the recent cancellation of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, the affected ATP Tour events are Miami, Houston, Marrakech, Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Budapest. On the WTA, Miami, Charleston and Bogota have been cancelled.
No NHL playoffs is the worst for me. March madness is fun but for betting mostly.
No reason to cancel the nfl draft, they already had the combined, you don't need players chest bumping roger Goodell to get one team.
ESPN should be showing cheap seats all the time, it's a crime it's already not on anymore.

I bet Dayton and Fla St to win it all at almost 100-1 back in November. Would have liked to see how that played out.
Quoted from vex:Lots of people with no interest in sports posting eagerly about having no interest in sports.
Hating sports is a sport for some people.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Couldn't be any weirder than the disaster that was Colbert and Fallon on thursday. I felt bad for them.
Fallon was doing as good as he could have but Colbert was a mess.
I watched Bill Maher last night. His staff was the audience, I assume an adequate distance apart. I wouldn't have known the difference if he hadn't mentioned it.
