"Dr. Anthony Fauci: Sports Will Only Return This Summer If Fans Are Banned" by Tim Daniels, April 15, 2020
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Tuesday the only path for sports to return this summer includes no fans in attendance and players being kept in quarantine for the duration of their seasons.
[No fans and players under quarantine because of this fraud? Forget it]
Fauci, an advisor to President Donald Trump, laid the groundwork for a potential return to play amid the coronavirus pandemic during an interview with Peter Hamby of Snap Originals (via ESPN).
"There's a way of doing that," he said. "Nobody comes to the stadium. Put [the players] in big hotels, wherever you want to play, keep them very well surveilled. ... Have them tested every single week and make sure they don't wind up infecting each other or their family, and just let them play the season out."
[Keep them surveilled, huh, you sick f***? People of Fauci's ilk are so diabolical it's beyond description. Evil!]
Trump announced Tuesday he's included several notable sports figures on his advisory panel that will attempt to figure out how to jump-start an economy hurt by COVID-19 without creating additional health risk. Here's the group:
- Adam Silver (NBA commissioner)
- Roger Goodell (NFL commissioner)
- Gary Bettman (NHL commissioner)
- Rob Manfred (MLB commissioner)
- Jay Monahan (PGA Tour commissioner)
- Dana White (UFC president)
- Lesa France Kennedy (NASCAR CEO)
- Jerry Jones (Dallas Cowboys owner)
- Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks owner)
- Robert Kraft (New England Patriots owner)
"We have to get our sports back. I'm tired of watching baseball games that are 14 years old," Trump said, "but I haven't actually had too much time to watch. I would say maybe I watch one batter then I get back to work."
[Look at the lulus on his advisory panel, huh? The four major $port$ plu$ $elected team owners. All the billionaires losing money, and as for the president, what's up with that? He's tired of watching reruns? Why did he not invite ANY ATHLETES to sit on his prize panel? I think we all know the answer. Labor's voice is never in the room with him, and are not all the members of his panel white?]

In March, Silver told ESPN's Rachel Nichols the NBA was trying to find a safe way to play to help fans make it through a period of quarantine and social distancing.
"Because people are stuck at home, and I think they need a diversion," he said. "They need to be entertained."
[Oh, I see. Silver says we need a diversion and need to be entertained as our freedoms, liberties, and livelihoods have been taken from us. Watching a ball game in an empty stadium is going to be so much fun! Well, I won't be watching any $ports ever again after this, even if they do come back. Can't even remember the last time I had the $hitbox on E$PN]

The Globe cleaned up the good doctor for the front page:
"Dr. Anthony Fauci lays out scenario for a return to sports — but only without fans" by Michael Silverman Globe Staff, April 15, 2020
Doctor Anthony Fauci believes the return of sporting events to the daily life of Americans could be closer than ever.
[Silverman(!) dangling false hope to divert the masses and get them talking about totally non-essential $hit. This is the light at the end of the horizon. Of course, the horizon never gets closer, it's always the horizon, but seeing as Americans are already stewing mad over the destruction of their lives, this serves as a good diversion. How do you think Tom Brady will do in Tampa? I bet he never plays a game for them]
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases on Wednesday outlined how a sports league, particularly Major League Baseball, could start its season, perhaps by July, if it adhered closely to a two-pronged plan.
The fans would stay at home and watch the beamed and streamed games on their televisions and computer screens.
[Pffffft. I consume some because I'm a pre$$ monitor; however, I'm watching far less of it. What I notice most now are the offensive "public $ervice" announcements about COVID and the out-of-place ads reflecting a "normal" world of freedom and liberty, as if once this crisis is over we will all pick up where we left off. Not going to happen. In fact, you may never be let out not your house again. That's where we are headed, and I see no hard to starboard order coming]
The athletes would need to be tested regularly for coronavirus and stay quarantined for the duration of the shortened season, shuttling between the team hotel and empty stadiums and arenas.
[Sort of like, (gulp), FIELD HANDS?]
The sports “bubble” plan is likely the only one offered yet that has a chance to be realized.
With virtually the entire global sports industry shut down by the pandemic in the middle of March, the appetite for the resumption of major sports likely would be intense, with Fauci, the former captain of his Regis High School (N.Y.) basketball team, counting himself as a fan eager to watch games.
[What makes Silverman think our appetite for $ports would be intense? We have all got other problems now. Had you a$$holes left things alone and not crashed the economy to loot some more and cover up criminality, I would still like the $ports. Never again! F*** your $ports!]
“People say you can’t play without spectators, well, I think you’d probably get enough buy-in from people who are dying to see a baseball game,” said Fauci in an interview with Snapchat’s Peter Hamby on the platform’s “Good Luck America” program. “Particularly, me, I’m living in Washington, we have the world champion Washington Nationals. I want to see them play again.”
[At least he didn't laugh that time]
The endorsement from Fauci, who has earned widespread respect and praise for his science-based and plain-spoken updates during White House press briefings as well as his frequent appearances on a variety of media forums, will carry weight as the professional leagues and owners try to salvage nearly lost seasons without sacrificing public safety.
[I don't want to keep bolding the article in team colors; however, I wonder if Silverman gave him fellatio when his towel dropped coming out of the shower]
After both the Fauci interview and an afternoon conference call between President Trump and sports leaders across the country, including Patriots owner Robert Kraft and all the major sports commissioners, Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs said it was “very possible” the NHL could return, in some form.
[Ah, yes, Saint Bob Kraft, along with others]
“While it’s highly speculative, I remain hopeful and think it’s very possible for us to have the game back in some form or another,” Jacobs said. “The health and safety of our players and fans is of course our number one priority.”
[Hockey? In July? What's the carbon footprint on something like that?]
Red Sox president and CEO Sam Kennedy was grateful for the positive outlook.
[Talk about measured! He's grateful for the positive outlook. That looks like a rainout to me]
“Fauci has become a bit of an iconic figure and a hero to many of us right now and we’re hanging on every word — we need optimism and hope right now,” Kennedy said. “It’s obviously great to hear those comments. Broadly, I think it’s great that sports are being discussed as part of the potential healing process for the country but the [baseball] commissioner has made it very clear publicly and privately that we’re not going to do anything until the current health conditions change and it’s appropriate to play. We are working behind the scenes feverishly on many, many ideas but we don’t have any firm plans whatsoever.”
[What is with the AWFUL choice of WORDS, and the last thing we need right now is hero worship and the billionaire's healing proce$$.]
Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred told the Associated Press, “I think it’s incumbent upon us to turn over every stone to try to play the game in 2020 if there’s any way we can in the environment.”
One MLB source said, “We have no choice but to pursue games behind closed doors. The commissioner has been outlining publicly what the difficulties are — it’s logistically a very, very complicated scenario, but what other choice(s) do we have?”
[How about shutting down your steeped in racism sport once and for all?]
In an interview with NBC Sports, Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout gave the “bubble” idea mixed reviews, saying players were eager to return as soon as it was safe, but the thought of quarantining players from their families would not go over well.
“My wife is pregnant — what am I going to do when she goes into labor, am I going to have to quarantine for two weeks after I come back, because obviously I can’t miss the birth of our first child,” Trout said. “There’s a lot of red flags, a lot of questions.”
[Yellow in the case of football, and I think Trout will find himself in the minority. Of further note, of course, is that a player was finally asked for comment; however, he is the top player in the game right now and you can't get any more elite than that. Whatta pre$$!]
In his daily news conference, Trump referenced his call and the desire to restart sports.
“We want the country open again, we want to have our sports leagues open, you want to watch sports, it’s important, we miss sports — we miss everything, we want to get back,” Trump said.
[Too late, and he was either powerless to prevent this simulation from ruining his presidency or he was all-in on it. I suspect the later at this stage. Besides, if he doesn't think any athletes are worthy of being on his prized panel, how much of a f*** can he really give about the fans? He basks in your love during the rallies because he is a narcissist. You are there for him, and he's such a good con man he makes you think he is there for you. I think that sheen of a veneer is about to be peeled off. In fact, I noticed for the first time the other day that HAIR is NOW WHITE! It turned almost overnight]
One plan for the return of baseball would be for teams to return to spring training sites in Florida and Arizona and play out the season there, with the Grapefruit and Cactus leagues replacing the American and National leagues.
The governors in each state, Doug Ducey in Arizona and Ron DeSantis in Florida, have expressed willingness to host teams in their states, with DeSantis deeming all sports as “essential businesses.”
[That is so f***ing damn offensive to the rest of us out here who have had our lives destroyed by these monsters! Yup, the billionaires are unhappy because they are losing lots of money and the ma$$ media is in a panic. $crew their f***ing $ports]
In the Snapchat interview, Fauci was blunt about how to restart the games: “Nobody comes to the stadium.
“Put [the players] in big hotels, wherever you want to play, and keep them very well surveilled,” he said, “but have them tested like every week and make sure they don’t wind up infecting each other or their family, and just let them play the season out.”
[You get a certificate if you are a good boy, Tom]
According to Golf Digest, the PGA Tour has plans to announce this week that it will resume in June, with the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Conn., keeping its June 25-28 dates. The Northern Trust at TPC Boston has been moved to Aug. 20-23.

You know, I will tell you what sport I would watch.
Remember something in Rome where they fed people to the lions?
I think I wouldn't mind watching some of that on TV without a crowd in attendance. Fauci could be their first meal, and then we could feed them Bill Gates, the rest of the ruling cla$$, the rest of the swamp, and on and on and on until this world has been purified of evil.
ROAR!

"The nation’s top infectious disease specialist is getting a plush doll made in his likeness. Simsbury-based New England Toy, which makes custom plush bears and other toys, has created a 12-inch version of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who has often appeared with President Trump at media briefings during the COVID-19 pandemic. The doll sells for $25; the firm says $5 from each sale will go to a COVID-19 charity. Company founder Josh Livingston told The Hartford Courant he sees Dr. Fauci as a hero. “I’m very inspired by him,” he said. “I just love his no-nonsense approach and how he speaks the truth, whether it’s something you want to hear or you don’t.’’ Fauci’s face also appears on a bobblehead and on socks, and a Rochester, N.Y., shop is selling doughnuts with his face, surrounded by white frosting and topped off with red, white, and blue sprinkles."
Where are my needles and pins?
