And this country has done such a piss-poor job and tracking and testing that it's going to be a while before we really do know who this virus operates. And even Adam Silver has said it's not a matter of "if" but "when" and "how many" players test positive for COVID-19 during what left of this season.

I think given how much we don't know, and very real concerns by a not insignificant group of players that re-starting the league has the very real potential to take eyes and energy away from the BLM and anti-police brutality protests, I'm perfectly okay with giving up the idea of basketball this season. It really isn't worth risk or the energy just so these owners can make a shit-ton of money.
