(34,857 posts)AS much as we like to piss on sports, they're often ahead of the curve on this shit.
Just look at how fast the NBA, NHL and MLB shut things down after one player, on just one team (Rudy Gobert of the NBA's Utah Jazz) tested positive. Once that hit, everything came to a grinding halt and in fact, it was the sports world that forced the business world to change.
The NBA suspended its season on March 11th.
The NHL a day later.
Major movie chains didn't close their theaters until six days later on March 17th.
I worry about movie theaters and Trump rallies and these protests.
I don't worry about sports.
They absolutely will keep crowds out and play in front of empty arenas/stadiums.

(6,278 posts)I didn't remember an orchestrated wave happening like that, but there it is on video. But what's more interesting is that Michigan stole the wave from University of Washington fans, and then it spread to Tiger Stadium in that 1984 World Series season. The Washington wave was more of a section-by-section cheerleader-led thing, whereas the Michigan Stadium version was - well, what you see, and what seemed to take off in other US stadiums.
I've also seen it referred to as a "Mexican wave;" I think it probably dates back even earlier than this among football (soccer) fans there. I've seen 1968 claimed though the '86 World Cup seems to be when international football fans first noticed it.
