Baseball should not attempt to play this year. If they do play, I cannot see how it can be done responsibly.
This isn't baseball's fault. The recklessness and even conscious disregard for the public's health and safety on the part of America's leaders has doomed us to months more illness and death. Baseball is just one, relatively unimportant part of that.
We spend a lot of time shaming people in bars or whatever. I roll my eyes at that but I don't really blame them. You can’t lock down indefinitely. It’s not economically or psychologically feasible. People weren't going to do it. At some point something was gonna give.
But. . .
But. . .
We were warned about it. We had a head start. Our leaders could've created and implemented a plan that would've avoided all of this. They simply chose not to. Mostly out of lack of courage or political will. In some cases out of raw political calculation and cynicism.
Our leaders failed to act promptly to shut things down and encourage smart practices in March. Even the ones we're supposed to like or who got rave reviews early on failed us in the end. They all gave up and caved.
