00:00I'm not afraid to say it. I'm rooting for sports to return. I just want something to
00:09hope for. And we got our best glimmers of said hope with the news that Major League
00:13Baseball may be looking to return in May, with all games being played in Arizona and
00:17with no one in the stands, along with the report that rapid testing devices could be
00:22key to the NBA resuming its season. Now, all this must come with a giant disclaimer. Public
00:28safety should not be jeopardized, nor should the safety of the players and participants.
00:33And any testing available to the leagues must also be readily available to regular people
00:38in need. However, if those criteria are met, then I'll take baseball and basketball in
00:44quarantine. Honestly, I don't know how feasible all that is, and neither do you. So I'll defer
00:50to medical professionals. And maybe my profession is what's causing this professing, but eventually
00:56we will need to persevere. So if we all continue to do our part and stay away from each other,
01:01perhaps there's a chance sports won't be gone for as long as we thought. Fans or not, I
01:06consider that something to cheer.
