  • Uh, so where so many games have been postcode due to the contact tracing.

  • And you know, this is for the safety measurements for the league and the players, and I applaud them for making that decision simple for me.

  • You could replay games.

  • That is a great way to put it again, though, absolutely bringing up the question.

  • And that's what I was referring to in the last segment with the All Star Game.

  • What if they get an inconclusive right before the All Star Game?

  • And by the way, this is a window into right?

  • This is a window into how the league is handling this now again.

  • They made sort of a switch about three weeks ago, saying, We're going to take sort of the extra layer of precaution, not just removing the player but actually postponing the game because of the chance.

  • And we still don't know what it is, But they felt like there was enough of a chance of on court spread on court contact with they originally, we're not that concerned about.

  • They have now become more concerned about.
