I thought it was funny last Friday night that both Sportsnet and TSN were showing curling reruns.

Well with the crisis and being the Winnipeg sports fan that I am I will watch the 1984 Grey Cup Cal Murphy's first Grey Cup win as boss of the Bombers with Tommy Clements at QB, Chris Walby, James Murphy, Willard Reaves, Tyrone Jones, Bob Cameron, Joe Poplawski man what a stacked team they were!

I watched most of the first round and some of the later rounds - and the whole virtual production turned out better than I thought it would. I was expecting some major problems. |
I'm sure the NHL draft will break records too... not much else going on in the sports world these days. Is there any way to watch the baseball going on in Asia?

One of the Taiwanese teams streams their home games on Twitter in English. https://time.com/5822240/watch-taiwa...all-live-free/ |
^ Cool... thank you for that. Not just a pandemic thing, but I wish there was a little more sport from abroad shown on domestic television... but Twitter streams will do.

DAZN offers good international options during non-Pandemic times, and most eSports are available on Twitch. |
"Abroad" and "American" are very different for some folks.

Are there actually any sports taking place in the USA right now to show?
|
NASCAR and golf seem determined to start up soon.
|
I'll take 'em. But I'd settle for some Taiwanese baseball right now too.

And no I do not consider NBA and MLB Canadian sports entities at all, just the most recent evolution of the American Branch Plant mentality that has handcuffed this nation since confederation. |

I know it takes some time to get broadcasting deals done and what not, but I'd be happy with Korean soccer and Taiwanese baseball. Even if I wouldn't watch it obsessively at least I'd feel like I was getting something for my cable fees. |
