Too bad – Trump was sure to win the title. A lot of people are saying he’s the greatest tennis player ever. Very nasty of Wimbledon to deny Trump his rightful championship. Very nasty people.

Yes, but the really big news is that FIDE halted the Candidate’s Tournament! Can you believe it?!?!? https://chess24.com/en/read/news/fide-candidates-tournament-stopped-at-halfway

It’s gonna suck when they cancel football this fall. I suspect MLB could safely play a TV-only half season, but no way will they be able to pack in crowds this year. For football and basketball, there’s just too much contact not to seriously risk an outbreak among the players.

The influence of football in our society is way past its prime. It needs to go back to entertainment. Not a mania.

Who knows. Modern America may be beginning to understand what is and is not important. Being isolated makes for quiet moments. Plenty of time to see the differences (My god there is epidemic out there!), ask yourself questions and figure out real priorities in your day to day world. Things our parents and grandparents had to work out between two world wars, an epidemic, a dust bowl and a depression.

Oh, what, so there hasn’t been any flu since 1945?

I know…#WIMPS.

So Reggie and Fiona won’t be able to sip champagne at Wimbledon with the rest of Kensington’s upper-class twits. Tragic.

If they cancel Ascot, it will just be the absolute limit. Noel Coward must be rolling in his grave.
