2020 Olympics

With the Coronavirus, I'm wondering if the games are threatened.

There have already been announcements that they may be postponed.

That would be tough for the athletes that trained for 4 years.

Houston Rodeo cancelled and that's pretty big around these parts.

NBA cancelled the rest of its season, but Olympic committee says it's impossible to cancel the Olympics.

NBA is suspended, not cancelled. If things settle out, they may resume.

Guess it depends what is going on in the next few months..right now I'd say it's not looking good for any sports.

Part of the problems with the Olympics is that countries are having problems getting their qualifying done with all the pandemic effects.

Postponed a YEAR.
