About time they called it.
Yeah it's sad but there is no choice when people's lives are on the line.
Gotta agree guys.
Seems as each hour passes another major sport announces some kind of suspension or season cancelled.
Latest I read was the EPL was to finish, give the crown to Liverpool have no team send down and promote two teams and have a 22 team competition next year.
NBL in the US I have also heard, Formula 1 cars, golf, the list goes on and is growing quickly. Wayne Bennett has called on the NRL to be cancelled for the coming season and Phil Gould has backed him.
Wonders aloud about state government stadium contracts as in most countries the teams own their own stadiums but we tend to hire them and on long term contracts. Further with stadium service providers often paying hefty up front fees for exclusive rights. Add player and back office wages. You could equally season ticket holders may want refunds. The obvious broadcast revenue if no games, throw in sponsors as well.
Who is going to foot the bill, my guess is no code in Australia has the reserves to foot this kinda loss.
Combine all codes and sports and the bill would be insane.
