Topic: New Normal Game Setup - a success or a failure? - page 10. (Read 2456 times)

Yes I agree and I congratulate these sports organizations for the success of their seasons and matches special mention is the NBA, the MMA and the boxing events they have put their best effort to give us excitement in the comfort of our homes, we have seen upsets spectacular wins, the enthusiast and the excitement of the team and individuals are still high.

But the one fight that we all wish to push through is the third match of  Wilder Fury, it will not happen anymore this year since Wilder is in therapy, and Fury is looking for a new match.   

I watched the recent championship game of NBA and it was amazing to see how the players can still play despite of a big change on the court and knowing that your favorite player won an amazing title again, this is a great success during the pandemic season. We have to embrace it, we should not give up just because the odds is against us sports is where we find the best excitement plus you can win some if you place your bet.

Every action and alternatives that they did for the games to commence is truly commendable and can be said of success. 2021, we see more games coming back to normal, not new anymore. The situation will be stabilized, vaccines that are proven to be working will be distributed in every part of the world and sports fans will have our own time to get back in stadiums, watch live games and even play again with our peers physically.

Before the implementation of that new normal setup, there are lots of people voicing out not to continue the majority of the games due to the quick spread of the virus. But other leagues continue and make sure things will not get worst. And guess what, these people who are against the resume of some sports league are now silent as they have seen the progress was good.

Entertainment is a must as no doubt, there are people who become overreacted and worried too much that the virus is just a few inches away from them. The effect of a long lockdown isn't that good in terms of mental health.

It's a matter of a safe test and runs. Even with the pandemic, the world will not just completely shutdown. So I should say, the new normal setup on sports are a success.


NBA is backed by a big team organization and lots of partnerships. They surely have the budget to run at least several seasons more not unless we have to deal with the virus for a decade which I don't think it will happen. The virtual audience is always full in attendance. They might opened up more slots next season. Not that much in revenue but at least it's a good progress to show that there are still lots of fans that wants to watch live.

There are cost-cutting already made during the lockdown and players also accept the salary deduction. And since all operations and activities are inside the bubble, it's way cheaper compare to their usual operation.

Instead of cancelling the season, they push it through and most of them successfully finished the season and that is a great success for them.

They proved that they are not just playing for the money from the viewers and instead, they give hope and joy to all the supporters of that league and that is what matters right now. The new normal set-up will last until we finally beat Covid-19, i hope early next year so we can have an amazing season of sports league.

I would say it's a success as somehow it has given us an entertainment.

Watching the NBA Bubble, I still feel the entertainment even without the fans, and I sure the whole world feel the same, so it's a success.
My fear is only if pandemic will stay for years, I don't know if we can still see some sporting events like when they aren't making enough money for them, like the NBA for example, they spend a lot and yet they don't generate enough since there's no crowd, so this is not going to be a success in the long term, we really need the vaccine badly to get things back to normal state.

Well, they have to adjust on it both staffs and players and continue what they've started because if haven't get it done they're the one losing at all, low revenue or not it's still a revenue. Well, I also think this was a success and hoping the next year this will not be the same setup. I think fans are all grateful that the games have continue even though we are just at home watching.

Hoping slowly the next months or the upcoming year will not be the same setup and we could see fans on those bleachers, we are all excited that it may come. Hoping.

While the world still faced the health crisis, we should comply the safety measure of our health protocols provided by the authority. Gladly, online and live betting this new normal is there to satisfy every person who loved to watch their favorite games online as well as gambling. The potential infection was lessened, by means of less crowd and possible contact was prevented.

We are still not out of the woods because there's no commercial vaccine yet.
So whether the new normal game set-up will be success or a failure, just be grateful that we can watch them live again.
I know this is hard for those die-hard fans who are going to the stadium or arena just to support their favourites.
But it is better to safeguard everyone from potential infection and of course save lives with this decision.
In time, we will enjoy the game again as what we had before.

Some of the sports leagues that got canceled due to the pandemic already finished with their respective resumes with some still on-going and lots of future events will take place under the new normal setup.

We have seen how these leagues put big efforts to somehow bring the sports back while people don't need to go outside to watch. They also think of a way on how to help players feel that the intense and excitement is still there performing in front of the fans.

Even with low ratings and small revenue (as expected), I consider this new normal setup as a success. It's not that easy to set up an own bubble amid the dangerous pandemic.

Kudos to their effort.
