No problem. I've felt that heartbreak as well. There's still plenty of summer for them to recover if the damage isn't too great.

Most of the First Nations people I know, have no issues with most of these names, as they aren't derogatory or discriminatory.
As white people we need to quit assuming what others find offensive.

It's cool if some First Nations don't find the names offensive.
I think the use of names, logo's and imagery without proper consultation (along with pantomimed gestures like 'Tomahak chops') is lazy and disrespectful.

Vancouver and Edmonton as hub cities?

Or maybe the NHL should go the UFC route and play hockey in Abu Dhabi.

I've thought of this.
Although I would like to see some NHL action down here, there are only 2 rinks in Auckland and we need them for our beer league.

Sorry.

NFL Players Association advises players to stop practicing together
From CNN's Jabari Jackson

The NFL Players Association issued a statement on Saturday advising players to cease training together during private workouts due to “the increase in Covid-19 cases in certain states.”

The statement is attributed to Dr. Thom Mayer, who serves as the medical director of the NFL Players Association, to deliver a “consensus medical opinion” to players as they prepare for the fall season.

“Our goal is to have all players and your families as healthy as possible in the coming months,” said Mayer in a statement posted on Twitter. “We are working on the best mitigation procedures at team facilities for both training camps and the upcoming season, and believe that it is in the best interest of all players that we advise against any voluntary joint practices before training camp commences.”

The Biblical All-Stars... I love it.

We need rosterhawk to give us some line combinations

The two Vs — Vancouver/Vegas, maybe. Next two weeks: hub selections, lottery, player vote on protocols/CBA framework. All while we monitor testing results.

None in the US. It’s a cesspool of stupidity with the handling of this pandemic from the White House on down.

Thanks Carol, I’m doubtful pro sports will manage to get off the ground this summer. I don’t think the US has started to peak yet and they are rolling out 30k+ new cases per day. It is conceivable that by the time they convene for training camp there will be more than 3 million cases in the US. South America is a mess, India and some other pockets in Asia. There are so many other things that we should be focusing our resources on right now. It seems selfish to go ahead with the luxury of sport for entertainment.
