The only baseball plan that is 100% zero risk in the COVID-19 pandemic is this: not bringing the teams back to Canada

They are still awaiting permission to hold the 60-game baseball season at home. That’s a very different proposition. Sports has a lot of different plans right now, but from the Canadian perspective, there is one overriding concern – keep us away from the United States of America. We wish the Americans the best, but we don’t want them touching us.
The NHL’s strategy is far less attractive. The league will reportedly forego the U.S. altogether and base itself in Edmonton and Toronto.This is where we have to start redefining what qualifies as ‘successful’ in the new sporting context. Success is no longer quality of play or how much money this pumps into the local economy .
That’s not something you can guarantee. It’s something you hope doesn’t happen. Hope is not an action plan.
