NEW NORMAL ?

by Bob Walsh

By the time you read this the first zero-live-audience NASCAR race should be in the can. Limited pit crews. No warm-ups or poll position practices. These guys will be going in more-or-less cold and getting their warm-ups on the track with the clock running. I hope it works out OK.

As far as I know football and baseball are still fighting over how they are going to do things, mostly over the money split I gather. Last I heard the owners were offering 50% (I don't remember if that was baseball or football) but the players wants their salary pro-rated for the number of games played regardless of the team's actual income. I don't know how much income they get from butts in the seats, but I suspect it is significant.

In any event i hope they get it worked out.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Fuck the NFL and its anti-patriotic leadership. I hope they lose tons and tons of money. If the NFL were to disappear, it wouldn't be too soon for me.
