If something is 90 percent successful its going to be a failure. If the 10 percent causes some sort of outbreak among the participants and also if theres a public perception that somehow sports is getting preferential treatment when other people within society need it as much or more thats a public relations nightmare. I think that baseball faces a different circumstance because even playing half-a-season involves so many more games. What basketball and hockey are looking at, if theyre able, is some kind of playoff thing that starts right away. Just start the playoffs based on where the regular season left off and get it over with.

A plan would have to include the people whodont get the backpage headlines. Not only would you have to quarantine them and the umpires and other officials, but what about the guy who picks up the towels in the locker room ? What about the guy who drives the bus or turns on the lights at the stadium even without fans ? Theres a lot of pitfalls here. People are going to get hurt and go on the injured list. What about Triple-A ? Theyre not playing minor league baseball. Whatre you gon na do ? You gon na quarantine 10 or 12 guys per team just in case somebody is hurt ? Theres a lot of things that can fall through the cracks here even with the best intentions and the best practices, he said. Costas also pondered how fans would be able to return to the ballparks and what social-distancing measures would be taken to keep fans from doing normal things. RED SOX CEO BELIEVES ALEX CORA WILL MANAGE AGAIN EVEN AFTER CHEATING-SCANDAL SUSPENSION [ A ] 90 or 95 percent is a good grade on most tests, it wouldnt be the right grade on this test, and think about it. Lets say you have 10,000 fans at the game and theyre socially distancing the seats, how are you gon na get them through the turnstiles in a socially distanced way and still start the game on time ? – Brian Kilmeade	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
Truth is, and I hate to say it, we are going to lose the greatest player of all time in terms of interest in a year or two when Roger stops, we have a new breed of men and women that are really exciting, great athletes, great attitude but they are missing out on a bit of the limelight while the likes of Federer and Rafa Nadal and Novak continue to play. – Mats Wilander	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
Obviously we lose a year of the chase in the history books but at the same time who really cares who ends up with the most majors? it hurts Novak more because he was in great form and Roger is getting older. But for the younger players a break like this is much tougher. Yes, they are obviously going to be able to practise at some point, somewhere, but not playing matches? – Mats Wilander	Found on Reuters 4 years ago

Oh, look, from the start we've been pretty clear on trying not to bring work home, obviously at the moment, we're kind of forced to and so I think again we're trying to stick to what we've always done in terms of when it's training time, we're all in and we're professional in what we do and when it's time to switch off. – Mike Barber	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
It is all kind of odd for me but everything can be done like before but in a slightly different way. It's easy for me to adapt but I miss a real pool. – Iman Avdic	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
