Just an outside the box idea that could actually work of course it’s not an ideal situation this is a once in 100 year crisis we’re in (hopefully). So for instance we could have continued sports but on a video game but just on TV according to the actual schedule in actual time so you would have the regular scheduled game in actual time with commercials.

If the NBA does resume in June you could have the Finals by then because the video games would determine who gets there by then so let’s say the system has the Bucks and Lakers in the Finals they can play right then and there.

This is a way of everyone social distancing while still having an 82 game season plus the playoffs. So this way the videos determine real life let’s say Lebron has a triple double in the video game it would count as official stat line for that player.

We could all be watching the sweet 16 today but on a video game. For baseball we could have the regular scheduled games, for the Yankees I wouldn’t have had Judge or Stanton in the opening day lineup because their both on the DL, and don’t have a game today because today was a scheduled off day, so you could make it realistic and super detailed.

Let’s say baseball starts in August it actually wouldn’t because you would have officially started on March 26, and you had already played 100 games, so starting in August would be unofficial.

That would get very annoying, very fast. The only way I would semi-enjoy it is if they had Kevin Harlan commentating over every game, he can make anything electric.

I would be fine with it, it’s better then nothing.You could even have the regularly scheduled broadcasters.

The college hoops subreddit has been doing this for the NCAA tournament with College Hoops 2K8. Obviously it's not on TV but it is being streamed.

Exactly so make it official.

Is this serious or are you just ****ing with us? Are the marijuana dispensaries still open near you? Or is this from the mushrooms you kept in the freezer for a time like this? ;)

Lets just say theres no football season god forbid, we could all socially distance ourselves and watch football, you could watch the Super Bowl in a video game with commercials and the 30 minute halftime show. Players sitting at home watching could actually be in the game as their watching from home. So the Chiefs could defend their championship by being at home while actually be playing. So if Mahomes wins lets say back to back Super Bowls a video game could be the reason why lol.
