The ratings will be interesting - I can see them being down for a variety of reasons, including lack of buildup and interest, due to "more important things." Also, one colleague said he has given up on US pro sports because he does not appreciate "all the lecturing" on social justice matters (I think an easy out is to just avoid all pre-game coverage, but whatever . . . ).
All I know is we had the NFL game on one TV last night, and the Gyros on the other.
Speaking of the NFL, how can they possibly play the game at Santa Clara on Sunday? The air quality right now is a "very unhealthy" 232, and it is projected to be over 200 on Sunday. How bad will it look if NFL players are gasping for air and holding their chests from inhaling ash for 3+ hours?
Not certain on this, but I believe the NFL has a rule that if it’s over 200 they can’t play. What they should have done earlier this week is move the game to Arizona. (No fans being inconvenienced. But now I think it’s too late logistically) They play twice. So they could have moved the other one to Levi’s. Of course, by then the locusts will be upon us.....
