New Normal Game Setup - a success or a failure?

[Genemind]

It is better than nothing, I am happy that some sports like basketball and UFC were able to resume with some adjustments. They need to find an alternative way to resume, I honestly think that NBA was successful, even people cannot watch it live on the court and there are only virtual audiences and it is only shown on TV they still received a lot of support from avid basketball fans.

There are still so many restrictions for every sport set up, we should still be careful to the pandemic because it has a big possibility to spread if the game will not be properly organized and without proper preparations. The sports event should always prioritize the safety of their players and fans, that is why they should still implement a strong social distancing for every seat of the audience, they should also provide a disinfectant area for every audience. Things will be good if we will prioritize the safety of our audience and at the same time giving them good entertainment.

Yup! Whether it's boxing, MMA, football, basketball etc, I'm very glad because the sports industry is slowly backing on its track once again. I'm so thankful especially to NBA bubble's success because the basketball organization of our country got inspired to it and continue their games as well .

Even with low ratings and small revenue (as expected), I consider this new normal setup as a success.

I would agree on the part where they got low revenue compared before but when it comes to ratings I think the opposite is happening. Why? Because lot of sport fans are hungry to watch thus became more excited and interested to watch the long awaited games. Perfect proof is the huge number of views on their live streamings and other videos.

Some of the sports leagues that got canceled due to the pandemic already finished with their respective resumes with some still on-going and lots of future events will take place under the new normal setup.

We have seen how these leagues put big efforts to somehow bring the sports back while people don't need to go outside to watch. They also think of a way on how to help players feel that the intense and excitement is still there performing in front of the fans.

Even with low ratings and small revenue (as expected), I consider this new normal setup as a success. It's not that easy to set up an own bubble amid the dangerous pandemic.

Kudos to their effort.

It's like nothing really happens and nothing is missing but the live crowd, the enthusiasm are still there, but you wished that you were there on all those actions, but players very well know that fans are rooting and cheering for them and that make them play great even without the crowd
everybody are praying that things will be back to normal so all missed seeing a live matches.

They adjusted into the new normal and that is what makes this new game setup for different sports a successful.
Revenue doesn't matter right now since its understandable that we are in a pandemic still and that would be better than just to cancel the whole season.

I'm quite happy still that I've watched the sport I love to watch and that is basketball. This is a success for the sports industry for sure .

Well, the stadiums(open ones esp) and fields seem to be some of the few places I have heard about where "customers" aren't allowed to come in even with the social distancing and other safety measures obeyed. I think safety rules should be followed and the safety measure of policy makers shouldn't be inconsistent and unnecessarily extreme. This is to avoid putting people who are following the extreme measures that are not necessary in serious danger. Qualify people should make the rules and we should be guided by them or stick to them.
The pandemic rules seem not be consistent unfortunately. They give this rule and do something else.

[pilosopotasyo]

100% they have given their best effort even if the situation is very much different from what they always see and feel, the fans who are watching at homes are the one who thinks that the games is more like an exhibition match but when the game started the intensity is this still there, these players and these competitors are professional and the organization where they belong must be so proud that they have given these matches to another level.

Kudos to the NBA bubble for the successful continuations of the 2020 season and post season without recording a single positive case with corona all throughout their stay in Orlando. Though there are a handful of protocol breakers but still it ended with a successful outcome.
It's just sad that the NBA finals has the lowest TV rating of all time which exceeded their expectations in a negative way.
Nonetheless, that doesn't matter for sports bettors like us anyway.
The premier basketball league in my country has just started their own bubble as well and I wish them goodluck and a successful run.

actually there is more changes like what you said,the crown is missed by the players and the momentum feeling when they are on your side.
But of course this is not permanent and will change back again sooner because the vaccine is near to come.

but players very well know that fans are rooting and cheering for them and that make them play great even without the crowd
everybody are praying that things will be back to normal so all missed seeing a live matches.

Players are feeling different now and we can see that in the games that happening now,their performance really changed and their also the home court
 advantage is gone for now.

Even though I was disappointed that I couldn't watch my favorite team live at the stadium, because until now the spread of the corona virus is
still happening. But I'm quite happy that some of the sports matches have started and I can watch them again, even if only watching on television.
In my opinion, the new normal game setup is still failing, because the spread of the corona virus is still happening. An evaluation must be carried
out again to look for deficiencies of the new normal game setup why the spread of the corona virus can still occur.

We can't force the organizers to allow people in the stadium, the best option now is just to watch online and somehow that already give an entertainment. These players playing to give us entertainment are also sacrificing themselves, they are away from their family and they are playing without the feel of the fans like they usually enjoy before the pandemic, and also, if this pandemic could go worst, their future could be at risk also as any league can't sustain due to fact that expenses will consume all their savings.

[Fundamentals Of]

Even though it is not the same as before, I think it is a success. In fact, it is already considered success for them to have made the games come back even if COVID-19 is still very active and spreading.

The setup of course will never be the same because they cannot take the risk of accepting live audience, but somehow they managed to offer the people their favorite sports in the midst of the virus transmission, although only in the familiar comfort of their homes and not in gymnasiums, courts, ring, arena, octagon, etc.

[BlackFor3st]

We have no other option therefore we can consider that this new set up is already a success even if we are experiencing a little bit of
difficulty to this setup as we didn't experience it before and it is our first time.

The best example to it is the NBA, they were able to end the season successfully even if they have to play without a single fans and they are
force to create their own bubble just to finish the season.

[dothebeats]

The bubble setup has a lot of flaws in it, though most sporting organizations already made sure that their events wouldn't be a ground zero for viral transmission and so far there isn't any serious cases of infection anywhere. The sporting organizations are following most of the health safety protocols and guidelines and that's great if they want to continuously deliver entertainment to their fans who are still within quarantines on most parts of the world. I can say that the new normal setup for sporting events is a success, since they delivered outstanding content to us fans while keeping everyone inside those bubbles safe and healthy. Profits may not be pretty but you still see their dedication and heart into it, and that's a plus for us.

New normal seems to be different but still worth it since the players work hard for this season and it will be hard for them if the whole season was cancelled and fortunately some of the sports events are pushing it through.

The success of the league will not just depend on how much they have collected but also with the way they adopt the new normal. Many players might feel a little bit disappointed but we have to praise them by keeping their composure.

Psychologically, I think they can also feel how terrible this pandemic is sweeping the whole world. Many victim fell and the transmission rate continued to increase at that time. Some player also refuse to play for fear of contracting the deadly virus. But fortunately everything has been minimized in the right way and this sport can be continued with a new normal idea.
Business was on hold due to the pandemic, but league organizers are optimistic enough to resume with the new normal and are considered quite successful now even though some players have been affected. I just hope all these players can entertain the fans as they should and that they are calm enough and look after themselves while the pandemic is still around.

But sorry for those players that still not playing because of being infected of the Virus Covid19.
There are almost half of football team that under quarantine because of being asymptomatic so this is a loss from their team.

The success of the league will not just depend on how much they have collected but also with the way they adopt the new normal. Many players might feel a little bit disappointed but we have to praise them by keeping their composure.

adjustment is still in process because this is the very first time that the generation of us and experienced this kind of burden so the process will take long but at least will not last forever.

[madnessteat]

In my opinion, a complete stop of games is unacceptable, because for many athletes games are the only way to support themselves and their families.

The main funds for sports events financing come from advertisers. So, we continue to watch games broadcasts and cheer for our favorite teams online.

But to this you said, a dead man or woman does not play football or other sports. Someone dead don't watch either. So it is better that they stopped the games to safe more lives. The games have started again and live has continued, people would have died more if the games were not stopped because of contact.

So far some of the sports organization I'm following are doing great, Basketball and boxing two of my favorite sports are doing great in coming up with great matches and fights and fans are loving it, of course, if something is going wrong the organizations should look into it, but so far they are following protocols and they are making sure that no contamination is happening.
