What sports do you think that can resume amid Covid-19 scare.

[shoreno]

boxing and swiming have more audience and staff compare to the other sports on the list  . we can see it on live brodcast or on online . however swiming can sometimes be done with a limited audience , i see few videos of them before and also  those occur too on special events but for boxing , so many people love to watch and witness this live plus it looks verry weird if no audience around while two players are fighting in the middle .

As long as they do not accept audiences and they are ok with empty benches and just rely on their revenues on pay per view or sponsorships, any sporting events that can follow guidelines can get back their events, even those sporting events that engaged in contact sports can resume.

No sporting events should die because of the pandemic, if there is a mean to continue the operation while being safe then it should proceed.

In conducting sports events, there can only be one question: Will all athletes voluntarily agree to participate in sports events? Many of them are bound by contracts under which they cannot refuse to participate in games and competitions.

Definitely. Do athletes want to participate with sports events considering that there are instances that even protocol are adhered, there are still individuals who got infected.

In my country, during the pandemic, the football championship was not stopped. At the same time, there was no mass illness of the players. However, in any case, each athlete must have a personal choice as to how to act in this situation.

in cases like this it is indeed very difficult to make the right decisions because in my opinion the team leaders of the soccer championship players have already given contracts and paid the players a very large amount, meaning they must be able to return the capital that has been spent to hire the players. good players, if the match is postponed, the process of returning the capital used will be longer and ultimately will disturb the financial condition of the team.

I have some doubts on swimming though knowing that athletes would soak in chlorine-rich pools, it can actually pass as a sport--though I don't think many would be that interested in watching the said event. Anyway, for some sports, tennis is probably one of the best bets, along with football (soccer for some dudes), hockey and American football. Basketball is quite an uncertain path for now since major leagues has since suspended the season until the COVID-19 scare eases.

Same goes for boxing. Boxing includes hugs when they can't take anymore punches so they cuddle for a while that might cause a physical interaction that could lead to COVID disease transmission. Even if both boxers already passed the SWAB TEST, still the possibility of carrying the disease is very high. They can get it while traveling to the venue where they will fight or maybe they could get it on their home because someone went outside to buy groceries and got infected without them knowing.

We'll never know until it's too late. My opinion about this is as much as possible, we don't have to force out the things we're missing to function again. It's better to be safe than sorry.

It's not easy for other sports to just resume their activity because of lots of factors especially in a sport where it involves lots of players and staff.

What sports do you think that can be resumed amid the current situation without a hassle but still following the health protocol and standards?

Here is my list.

- Billiards
- Swimming
- Golf
- Boxing
- Poker

These sports can also be played without an audience.

In my opinion poker and pool are not sports but games, anyway any sport in which there is a significant distance between the players and the number of players is limited should be able to resume their activities with no problem, an example of this is tennis, there are only two players playing against each other and they are separated by a significant distance that even in the worst case scenario there will still be enough space between the players, and as long as they follow some safety measures like regular testing and changing the tennis ball more frequently it should be a very safe sport to play.

Funny like in almost three months after, nearly all kinds of live sports has already resumed. I never thought they would resume, at least not this early due to the impact of the pandemic. But, yeah most of them are just broadcasted live with little (only VIPs and maintaining all kinds of rules so they don't put themselves in danger) to no audience at all.
At least people can now enjoy watching sports from home again. Better than no sports at all.

All of them had resumed out and as mentioned on where the new normal or set-up had been implied.Yeah it may look odd not only for the fans but also to the players itself but theres nothing we can do
about it but to deal and its better rather than having nothing at all.

We have seen boxing, basketball etc. had been resumed up even the pandemic havent been resolved yet because stopping out this industry will really be not sustainable if they would
just stand still and doing nothing or just waiting for the cure.

This is why management do really need to find ways to resume out no matter what but of course they do need to follow protocols.

Tennis and Badminton can be perfect game to play even in this covid 19 season ~

It is true. Tennis and Badminton are two games that are played by 2-4 players only. There is also no physical contact to play these games. And it shouldn't be a problem if playing without an audience as well. So, actually these games can be played even if we are in the pandemic since they can be played with safe. The health protocol and standards can be easier to apply in these games.

New normal has been implemented, it's just quite bothering at first coz I watched a basketball game with mannequin audience, I laugh a bit thinking they could have just leave it blank seats lol. Anyways most of the sports now is under a new normal rules, less audience or none at all, social distancing outside the arena for the players and staff, consistent medical procedures, and so on.

Esports is rolling even during the pandemic, but there are tournaments that went terribly wrong due to some server issues as players are far from each other, some are in a far place.

This is why management do really need to find ways to resume out no matter what but of course they do need to follow protocols.

Guidelines have been set, all they need is to follow, but it also generated added expense which is their biggest run off thing, just a small money for each team.

True.

We all thought that it's unlikely to happen but here they are. NBA has been back and some games as well. Most of the sporting events can comeback even we're in the midst of the corona virus.

The participating players, teams and staffs have to go through protocols to be able to attend the event or game.

Our players have signed contracts that allow them not to play football in case of force majeure. However, the quarantine was not declared in our country, so the players had no reason to refuse to participate in football matches. Who wanted to could terminate the contract and return the money, but only one or two foreign players did it.

Choosing sports that do not occur in physical contact and can be done outdoors are things that can be considered possible to do
in the current COVID-19 situation. I think Golf, Athletics, tennis, F1, Motorsport and Horse Racing are the list of sports which is
safe to resume in the current pandemic situation.

[aioc]

Majority of the sports and those listed in your list have resume their activities we have some seen some boxing MMA and basketball matches it's almost back to normal but there are a lot of precautions like players and staffs should first be swabbed and negative results to be able to participate so far there are all doing good, they just need supervision by medical experts for them to continue.

[erikoy]

Poker is a sport? or gambling activity. I think poker is not a sport activity for it is for gambling where betting is alwayd happening in poker. Anyway, I agree with other users that most the updates with sports activities now are resume rhat includes basketball which is NBA is known to it. The playoffs had started already after some games and most of the series now are already in game 2. For now, I am watching lakers vs. portland to which my bet is in favor to lakers but portland is in the lead of this series and lakers trying to tied it up in game 2.

Sports now are carefully conducted and resume sporta activities. Hopefully that it will going to finish the events and be successful in resumming game amidst the covid19.

Almost all of the sports can be played without an audience as the ground viewers are just small portion of revenue for the organizer.
Something as grand as UEFA Champions League final match is going to be played on closed doors on Sunday. It's because the largest viewership are on TV's and streaming device and they receive their revenue from the advertisement and broadcasting rights.
Many other sports don't even attract viewers in normal times, they too can continue on closed doors.

[robelneo]

Any sports but without the audiences can go back to their events provided that a strict protocol is being implemented we have seen it happen in boxing and MMA where athletes are continually tested and monitored and so are all the people involve in the events.
They just couldn't wait because millions are loss from revenues although right now they can only do PPV and no live audiences, but this better than none at all.

[Timelord2067]

Practically any sport that involves wheels, cards, dice or other tokens (chess etc), balls, water, even aircraft can resume without spectators and will need either an online or televised audience to generate revenue to keep the interest going.

Close contact sports here in Australia e.g. Rugby League require to players to self isolate for the entire season, so unless a vaccine is developed within the next 12 - 18 months one by one players will break isolation to return home or party or some other reason and the industry will come crashing down.

It is right, but if the sports events don't have the audience, it will feel something missing in that field because the players often hear the sound of the audiences, which can give more spirit to the players. But in this pandemic, the sports event should continue without having the audiences so that they can continue the competitions. They can prevent the infected of the virus on the audiences. But the sports events still need to follow the protocols to avoid the virus spread.

[plr]

After over 5 months we have set up a protocol on how to avoid this pandemic and because of this protocol any business and industries and sports events can go back as long as they can follow the protocol laid out by the experts of course it only applies to sports participants but not audiences or viewers.

Best would be to keep focusing on sports that are played outdoor like football or sports that are done with a few people, like boxing or billiard, where only 2 opponents are needed. The biggest risk to be spreading the corona virus with sports is the not by the participants, but the viewers. Crowding thousands of people closely together in stadiums seems like a huge risk in my opinion. The first step would be to resume all the major sports again and only be able to watch them on TV, as is already be done with football tournaments.
