As long as they do not accept audiences and they are ok with empty benches and just rely on their revenues on pay per view or sponsorships, any sporting events that can follow guidelines can get back their events, even those sporting events that engaged in contact sports can resume.

No sporting events should die because of the pandemic, if there is a mean to continue the operation while being safe then it should proceed.

In conducting sports events, there can only be one question: Will all athletes voluntarily agree to participate in sports events? Many of them are bound by contracts under which they cannot refuse to participate in games and competitions.

Definitely. Do athletes want to participate with sports events considering that there are instances that even protocol are adhered, there are still individuals who got infected.

In my country, during the pandemic, the football championship was not stopped. At the same time, there was no mass illness of the players. However, in any case, each athlete must have a personal choice as to how to act in this situation.

in cases like this it is indeed very difficult to make the right decisions because in my opinion the team leaders of the soccer championship players have already given contracts and paid the players a very large amount, meaning they must be able to return the capital that has been spent to hire the players. good players, if the match is postponed, the process of returning the capital used will be longer and ultimately will disturb the financial condition of the team.

boxing and swiming have more audience and staff compare to the other sports on the list . we can see it on live brodcast or on online . however swiming can sometimes be done with a limited audience , i see few videos of them before and also those occur too on special events but for boxing , so many people love to watch and witness this live plus it looks verry weird if no audience around while two players are fighting in the middle .

The pandemic has resulted into strict regulations being enforced all over the world. Safety is highly prioritized.
Sports is certainly affected by these restrictions and I don't think that such activities will be allowed soon.
Sports with less physical contact and done in a larger space may have a chance though.

Yes, safety is a sensitive topic in every activity that is being allowed during this pandemic. With the risk we are about to face in our daily lives, we should always have second thoughts.

Cricket is also getting resumed after the covid 19 hike started to reduced on some countries and one of the biggest cricket league which is called IPL is going to be started from the next month but the tournament is happening in UAE which is supposed to be played on Indian sub continent due to umber of cases in India is still not yet controlled.And about the spectators still there is not much announcement but I feel the match is going to be played without audience.

I think sports that are played outside have better chances than inside sports. If you take a look at European basketball and ice hockey leagues you will see that many of them suspended their leagues and they will not continue. All European ice hokey leagues have ended, including big international tournaments. Of course the reason is not because they are played indoors, it's mostly due to lack of funding.

Soccer is of course #1. The German professional leagues have already resumed. The Portuguese league is close to resuming. I know that the Czech and Hungarian leagues will begin in the last weekend of May...

It's true that it's cancelled due to lack of funding because of the pandemic. The sports can be resumed later on and buying the things needed for the pandemic is much more important. Not sure the about the situation about the WWE but I saw one of the latest stream of WWE match and the place is very empty only the announcer and two wrestlers.

after 3 months from this post Games are now starting to resume and i believe that Poker starts everything months ago.

all the mentioned games from OP is indoor game but it seems now that even outdoor games are starting also?

Quote from: ?? on ??

I think that soon all sports will be relevant, but without spectators.

of course Sooner everything will resume but without Live audience instead Via online is the viewing because the rules about distancing will remain even the pandemic is gone as this is the safest way for the virus not to spread wide again.

Of course these sports MUST resume without audience, even with audience allowed I think that there is to fear about the virus and only "aficionados" can grab this risk.

Actually, it's not just a matter of "how to play" these sports, since even in Formula 1 there is a TEAM of people that are working in the same area.
It means that even if drivers are alone in their car, workers behind them need, are working in a garage or a nearby place.

Also I have some doubts about resume of competition that are conducted in "confined spaces" like darts or billiards, because it's hard to maintain "social distancing".
The only solution can be players tested each time they go to play, but it's technically possible? or it's sustainable? And what about national guidelines? I think that at this point it's to early speak about sport resume....

I think all of those sports are good to resume as long as they will let this happen without an audience. The possibility of spreading the virus is still really high especially in crowded places, imagine if one person is already infected by the virus then he comes to the event without knowing by the others that he already has it, then the virus can easily be transferred by anyone in the audience. The probability of transferring it to everyone in the audience is really high as we all know that it can be passed to just a single droplet. They can continue the sports while having stream so gamblers can still do bet when they are at home.

Basketball is also going the same as the other sports without any fan so I think it's viable to apply it to that sport. I guess most sports can do the same as long there will be fewer people working on the coverage and in the entire arena of that specific sport.
On the news report, some of the practice facilities for basketball are about to reopen.

Well said all sports can be continued as long as there wouldn't be an audience in the place. I know that without the audience he sports is not that real fin because there wouldn't be noise that we can hear cheering different team but if you are a gambler you wouldn't mind those things.

I think some of the games that are:
1. playable with 1-2 players only over all like Badminton or tennis or table tennis.
2. can be played indoors.

Maybe some of the games like Basketball, boxing, MMA or the games that doesn't need that much players to play can be resume right now. As long as there are precautionary measures that will be imposed before the game like no audiences, all of the participants of both teams will undergo temperature checking and rapid testing, they must've alcohol and all of the staffs must have mask at all time. If this will be implemented then they can resume again I think.

In the condition of the pandemic corona, it is indeed difficult to start sports matches again, in my opinion sports that do not occur physical
contact and individuals safer to do. Like badminton, golf, table tennis, formula 1, gp motorcycles, horse racing and bicycle racing. Most
importantly, the corona virus prevention health protocol must be implemented, thereby minimizing the spread of the corona virus.

On this critical moment I think tennis, basketball and golf can be resumed again, because in these games we will be able to adhere to social distance. If we use mask, gloves, sanitizer properly and sanitize everything’s that using in the game then I think there are no more obstacle to start these games again. and I believe that within a few days all the games will start again by following the health protocol.

Any sports event could be resumed as long as the association will put the players in a single facility and test everyone before officially start the game or match. I guess covid testing will be the new requirement for any sports specially the contact-sports like basketball, football, boxing, and etc.
We will all be embracing this new normal, as vaccines will be available next year at the very least.

It should be the responsibility of the players to ensure that they are healthy since its impossible to test every time, we know the result is not going to be instant and after the game, they will have to go home for their family and even if they are covid free but there is no assurance on people surrounding them, especially their family, so to make this a successful campaign, players should not just put all the responsibility to the organizers, they also need to help and cooperate.

The FDA just approved a rapid test that could deliver a result in 5 minutes.

Ok, so let me give you an example in boxing or mma match. Even if the test results comes out for a week, they can somehow test both fighters before the fight and Quarantine them on a facility which they could also work out a week or 2 before the fight.

It should always be the organizers who will have the biggest responsibility, because the players are their best asset why they are earning $ and receiving their salary, the players already knew their health responsibilities.

Anything that doesn't absolutely need a large stadium could resume in a closed hall.

Something like boxing, table tennis, MMA, arm wrestling, darts etc.

I don't think games like soccer, football, cricket, or anything like that can resume, simply due to the large number of people involved. Even without a live audience it's still too risky.

That said, I doubt most of these would resume anyway, since they don't have huge TV or streaming viewer numbers, they instead rely on ticket sales which obviously can't happen right now. Either way, there's no rush, everything will start coming back shortly.

What will be the fun if you don't have the audience or fans cheering you up. It won't motivate the players, rather it will be so boring and less interesting to watch.

In every sports there's always a contact, it's most likely that none of them is ready to start yet until they finds the vaccine of covid 19

Any sports can resume without spectator, its just that are players willing to participate to risk their lives?

Yup, I agree with any sports minus the fans/spectators. There is a lot of good news going around for boxing and basketball to resume their operation but they have to do it in an empty arena/venues. About risking their lives, I don't think that athletes like is at risk, even though they got the virus they often showed no signs of symptom just like the NBA players who got contaminated, they can survive. The spectators are the vulnerable ones so eliminating their presence on the stands this time is what the organizer should be doing. Players and trainers' test for COVID will not be so expensive as they will be testing only a few people.

We can say that those athletes are not one of the vulnerable ones, we can always say that they can survive, but those athletes have families too. I think those players can choose to not participate to protect their families, and its okay. They are more concern of going home bringing the virus with them. Specially when they are asymptomatic. And I agree, if the players chose to play then I think the league should always test them to prevent the spread of the virus to the athlete's family.
