They just cancelled all Serie A soccer games in italy until further notice. So far no player tested positive. Games were already played in an empty arena. Same situation for players, fans and owners.
Correction: The ministry wants to do it. Player association wants it. But the early game today started after an initial delay.
The whole of Northern Italy is under a lockdown. We are not in that situation...yet.
Plus I don’t know what the stadiums are used for. Here most NBA arenas are multipurpose. It would be a logistical nightmare to just restart the season a couple of months down the road.
It would make more sense to cancel the season if it came to that.
