Should World Juniors be cancelled ?

[MessierII]

They have been constantly tested and every positive one have been put on quarantine. Health is more important than one tournament.

No one has displayed any symptoms. This has nothing to do with health anymore.

Really sucks, but can't argue health before entertainment.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Let it crash and burn. Canadian government and IIHF don’t deserve to save face. Public embarrassment for them is the best course of action.

 

[EK47]

So utterly gutless.

Everyone knows fascism is not being able to watch hockey

In the Soviet Russia game plays you ... or so they said.

Letting it go until someone got really sick is not a better solution. Prevention > treatment.

The Athletic reports


Remainder of World Junior Championship called off after positive COVID-19 tests among several countries:

Letting it go until someone got really sick is not a better solution. Prevention > treatment.

We already have data from other countries. This variant is not dangerous.

 

[chauron]

Hysterical overreaction. But for many, that's the desired response.

Imagine if Owen Power or Connor Bedard would develop myocarditis that'd put their career at risk before it even started ...

 

[Ainec]

No.

We already have data from other countries. This variant is not dangerous.

This is a foolish statement.

 

[Del Preston]

Switzerland deserves to be crowned the winners for their shutout win over the defending champions yesterday.

Congrats to the Swiss.

TSN reports the thing is cancelled as well

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Can they just pack it and move everyone to some nearby US hockey state? Maybe do it in Seattle?

Seattle would not have the reception you want to loose restrictions.

Let it crash and burn. Canadian government and IIHF don’t deserve to save face. Public embarrassment for them is the best course of action.

You're blaming IIHF and Canada when all hockey federations agreed to the rules?

Maybe those players that tested positive didn't follow protocols. Ever thought of that?

 

[MessierII]

This is a foolish statement.

Why?

 

[chauron]

We already have data from other countries. This variant is not dangerous.

Quantitatively, it always depends on your genetics and your health, habits etc. And the correct wording is "less dangerous".

I was getting tired of the gambling commercials anyway.

 

[EK47]

This is a foolish statement.

I hope to god you don’t have a drivers license.

Yes because a hockey tournament getting cancelled is the same as IngSoc

Jesus Christ

Your reply is proof that there will always be true believers who will follow whatever and wherever they are told to. Sad.

It’s the right call to cancel considering the circumstances, but the circumstances were created by the jokes that are the IIHF and Canada. Heads need to roll because this entire situation is absolutely ridiculous. Either have a bubble or don’t test asymptomatic players, and certainly don’t force games to be forfeited over one or two positive tests. Just a total disaster all around and those in charge of these decisions should be ashamed for ruining a tournament like this for the fans and players.
