I think the PBA has to return, NBA are going to return soon, that is despite the fact that US has the biggest number of cases in the entire world, and actually Las Vegas casino was already open.
Therefore, if other country can do it, I think with strict measures, PBA can resume their season.
Philippines has 21,340 confirmed cases, while USA has 1,920,061, and yet they didn't close businesses because they know the economy will suffer more.
Got the picture mate. I'm also, as always, on the idea that PBA will resume this year. I even mentioned before, might be on other threads, that if some sports activities in other countries already slowly coming back, PH should do the same.
What I meant on that post you have quoted is, IATF is not allowing sports events and activities that involve many players under GCQ. The only allow sports events on that status are those non-contact sports. So regardless of how large the difference of US cases
(currently @ 2,013,600) to PH
(22,474) as your example and even PBA proposes to allow them to goes back under GCQ even with the best-of-best strict safety measures and protocols, it won't be granted. So in here, the status of Manila should be shifted first into MGCQ for them to allow resume but since daily numbers are increasing, it might not be considered by the IATF. Hopefully and cross-fingers, within the next 2 months, we can now see a declining number of confirmed cases and situations got better.
Anyways, I only point Manila here which is currently under GCQ, since PBA events and activities are mostly done in Manila. I don't know what will be the catch if PBA will consider resuming on other regions that currently on MGCQ status if Manila will still stay under the status of GCQ until the PBA announcement
(August).
They will be affected if the PBA will not resume soon, we know that they are earning well but their standard of living has change as well, so they are still slave with their salary that they need to earn in order to survive. Pandemic was never expected, but I hope it will give them a lesson to always ensure savings as our future is always uncertain.
Yes, we are all affected here. If other PBA players are in jeopardy about their salary, just imagine, how much worst for an average minimum earner and those contractual workers.
By August 31, more players will have their contracts expired including stars such as San Miguel Beer’s Arwind Santos and Alex Cabagnot, Alaska’s Jeron Teng, Rome Dela Rosa of Magnolia, Meralco’s John Pinto, the NorthPort duo of Paolo Taha and Nico Salva, and Phoenix’s Jake Pascual and Dave Marcelo.
I don't know the financial status of the other mentioned players but I think Jeron Teng came from a rich family. Alex Cabagnot, aside from being an already rich, is a part-owner of several businesses. Arwind Santos is also living in a luxury life now after years of hard work as a PBA player. Somehow they can afford to lose
"a job" even for 1 year. Whew, I hope
"all" lol.
Don't fret yet but I guess I know where to find them because those modded versions will never be released on something like playstore and I think PHCorner was the most active forum for such thing.
Correct, it will never be released on an official store as these games are modified. I hope someday there will be an official game dev that is dedicated to PBA.
As @asu said, we have the
"Pormadaraska" PBA Slam. This game is already years in my backup phone as one of my
"Kill Time" game before and guess what, game devs here are active and the update is continuous. I already finish the season with Brgy. Ginebra, San Miguel, and Talk N Text and purchase lots of stuff on their store.
