NBA Season Return Deserves Benefit of the Doubt: Unchecked

The NBA deserves some benefit of the doubt when it comes to its return.

I really believe the event that drove the most action as far as the country going into quarantine was the league shutting down in the first place after all.

And remember, they had already started to plan to play games with no fans before that happened. Now, the league has reportedly decided on a provision that would not require players to participate in the restart, and those players would face no discipline for choosing not to do so.

I understand the idea of living in the “bubble site” is not ideal, but even with coronavirus cases rising in Florida, I’d have to imagine the structure they’ll have set up at Disney, with regular testing, will be about as safe a place as any can be.
