Apparently there are few in that camp but I'm with you. What has me flummoxed is why the "powers that be" (whoever they are) have decided to cancel events that can/would provide some entertainment for the masses that might be cooped up or, eventually, quarantined for protracted periods, e.g. hockey, nascar, etc. Why wouldn't "they" still have the event minus spectators in the stands and just issue refunds to current ticketholders - most event venues are issuing refunds anyway. Broadcast revenues would still be maintained and entertainment would not be curtailed. I'm not a sports fan, anyway, but as Captain Obvious has posited, critical thinkers might question this approach by the "powers that be". Could some/all of this be part of something more covert or just IMHO a not well-thought-out, i.e. knee-jerk response to the situation? I'm sure one of you will be kind enough to
enlighten me
