He was ignorant for touching a bunch of microphones, and because of that, he is being treated like patient 0. Its not fair to him. Whether or not he touched those microphones, or whether or not he gave hugs to his teammates, the NBA season was not shut down because of him. This virus was going to hit the sports world, with or without him.

His ignorant actions did not shut the NBA down. He did not shut MLB, NCAA, NHL, etc...etc... down. He is not patient zero.

He's just a guy, like many around, that thought the virus wasn't as big of a deal as it has turned out to be.
Yeah. He’s a doofus that screwed up, but he’s not Typhoid Mary.

No one is blaming him because he was the first one to test positive. The hate he is getting is that he openly was mocking the seriousness of the situation and purposefully was doing the exact opposite of what he should have. He made a point to go around and touch his teammates excessively and the same to the microphones.
Yeah. I know. And he's being treated like patient zero because of those ignorant actions. The season was not shut down because of him.

I wonder if its better off that the actions for the whole sports scene was set into action on that day...if not for that, I wonder how many more days the sports world would have taken to shut down...not a defense of his actions, but it might have coincidentally been a good thing.

JC, get a grip dude. Spreading fear all over like the grim reaper. Mitchell has it and he said he hasn't had a single symptom and doesn't even feel sick.

Bought food, supplies, and ammo last week before things got crazy and everyone ridiculed me.

Now it’s sold out everywhere.

We are getting a good front row reminder about how our society works. Pro athletes, celebs and movie stars are getting tested and A list medical care. The rest of us are being told there are no tests, you probably have the virus, go home and tough it out, and give us another call if it feels like you are going to die.

Pretty sure you'll remain the object of ridicule no matter what week it is.
Like that, y'all, pop some more shit.

NY governor andrew Cuomo was just talking about social distancing and said that some young people in NYC were playing basketball. He said that was an example of not following social distancing. “You can’t play basketball and be six feet away from people,” he said.


Andrew Cuomo has never seen Andrew Wiggins play.

I'm being told the NBA season will be cancelled.


At least I won't have to watch the Saunders boy for a bit.

Who gives a rats ass about the rest of the games of the regular season? 80% of it was already played and they already play too many games.

Get ready, suit up and start the playoffs. This is exactly what Stephen A is predicting also.


There are rumors Kevin Durant would be ready to play in the playoffs. I find that to be absolute bull shit to let him play but hey, it is what it is.

Lace em up!
