A preseason after international tournaments isn't more than 2 or 3 weeks either - not to mention that players have played a full season before said tournaments as well, as opposed to having sat at home maintaining their fitness right now.
Open back Match Day Thread!!!25% capacity too so you would be getting 5 to 10 thousand people at games on a regular basis.
Curious to find out how they'll organize that with respect for social distancing rules.
This pretty much.
That maybe would've been the case if the season was stopped prematurely; if there are 38 games played and we are on top, it's as legitimate a title as any other. What would the * refer to? The fact that we played a few games at a neutral venue instead of Anfield? Good luck with that
Maybe. But some people would also have no problem with risking life. For them football is more important than safety of 60+ people. So it goes in both ways.
Why are you narrowing it down to football though? Your post would also reply to all managers and bosses recalling staff to their offices, to retailers opening up their shops again, to basically all of society which has tried to return to somewhat of a normal situation. Yet the biggest outcry is regarding football, an industry where the majority of the people involved are tested every few days.
If the clubs and players are happy to play then let them, if they aren’t they don’t play.
Agreed, football is a business, not a group of guys playing at the local park.
My point is that that there are people who have totally different opinion on things. There are those who still think it is just a flu, while there are also those who are thinking this is black death. It is not just about football. When it comes to football, it is still only entertainment industry that we all love. I have my reasons why we should have ended this season (not just safety and yes, you would still get trophy from my point of view).
If owner of some pub or nightclub manager want to open up they should? And if people want to go there let them? I love football, but I don't like making it like it is more important then other businesses. We are all in this together. Either we open up everything. Or not. When it comes to this season it is just because of money it is played. Nothing else.
This is where I simply disagree with you. It is not just entertainment, it is a business like any other. The "either we open up everything or not" argument is quite honestly laughable as well. There are some things that are safer than others, so it's only natural that things are re-opening again based on how safe they are. Multiple studies have already proven that it's not unsafe to play football, let alone if you're tested every other day.

The downside of all this shit is that it doesn't feel like a proper title win, if anything. There'll be no celebrations, no parade, no nothing. It will just be checking the box and move on to next season. It's basically just a formality right now.
People can remember it all they want of course. To be honest, I think in 10 years time 19/20 will just be "that season with the 3-month break which Liverpool won" - if you wanna put an asterisk next to that in order to remember that 19/20 was the corona season, I won't stop you
No cause they haven’t been told they can do, football had.

It's of course the least fortunate circumstances you wanna win a title in because it's not a time to celebrate in to begin with, so in that respect it won't feel like a "win" to me even though it is.
Meh, I could just as easily argue the other way - every man and his dog will know or remember that Liverpool won the corona edition. You don't have many people who know by heart who won a league campaign 10-20 years ago apart from the fans of said club and the die hards you find on this forum.
Don’t you mean every Utd supporter? There is no reason at all to put a * at this title win. Especially when you’re fecking 25 points ahead, there was never going to be a catch up, with or without corona.
I said entertainment industry. That is business. What is safe is matter of opinion. Some people think it is safer to hug, spit and being in contact with other people then maybe sitting 2-3 m apart in a pub or walking in grocery shops. And yes I know that footballers are tested more.
Agree. But why is that? Because of money. Suddenly we are putting people in boxes. Those who we can make money from and those who can't be profitable. Why should a big business be more important than little ones? People are people.
Most businesses are open now right, lots of them small businesses? Except pubs, clubs, restaurants etc.

It was all a dream...
