During the pandemic, many sports were affected, some of them went online, just like the rest of us. Then we all had to be more careful and play at home at https://vegas7.casino it's always warm and lots of games

To be honest, since the pandemic started I have stopped betting and I have begun to gamble instead. However, I have noticed that there is a lack of good sites to gamble and it took me some time till I have found this one https://wolfwinnercasino.com/ which besides an app has also a good mobile-optimized site which for me it is very important. Plus, it has a lot of payment options and I have never had problems with withdrawal.

+xTimely that we dig this thread up again. Melbourne likely to extend current lock down, will impact on the three Melbourne teams, although fortunately they are all pretty much dead rubbers, so doesn't really matter where they get played. The Melbourne derby can go ahead because it is all Melbourne. Just no fans which means no real change The WU and CCM game should be allowed to go ahead because NSW did not close their border to Victoria and no word of players being caught up in venues / isolation The postponed game has no impact on the table given MC have finished first and there is no relegation. To avoid holding up the finals this could simply be declared a draw and shared points It is likely Melbourne will still be under restrictions when the finals are expected to start in the second week of June (given they are scheduled to end in the current format by 11 June but that is just an easing back of restrictions). City should relocate ASAP so they dont get caught up in a lockdown. This is far from over

+x+xLol there is a big bash team called Adelaide strikers. Didn’t know striker was a cricket term Dont worry "Roar" and "Victory" aren't exactly football terms either mate... Its all part of the plastic wonderfulness :) *cough* South Melbourne Lakers anyone? :)
For the record, both Roar & Victory have actual reasons for their nicknames.
Weak reasons maybe, but they're not completely "plucked out of the air" nicknames.
Brisbane: They were originally Brisbane Lions / Queensland Lions in the NSL & Queensland state league. Sold their name to the AFL team when they were rebranded from the old Brisbane Bears. (IIRC) At the start of the A-League they had a public vote for a Lion-related name for their new A-League side. I thought "Pride" was a better name (it worked on two levels), but "Roar" was the selected name.
Victory: Its a combination of a generic "success" type nickname (like Glory) and the name of the state they are from: Victoria.

+xI'm absolutely blown away anyone watches big bash. It's the most soulless forced crap I've ever seen. I can't stand T20, it's a fad as far as I'm concerned. If you need fireworks to keep people entertained it says a lot about the sport. I think most people have started to realise this as well, attendances have decreased, tv ratings lowered, the general word and talk of the competition seems at an all time low. The novelty factor was the only factor in attracting spectators to watch, now they tried to make full length longer seasons, as if its a people actually follow these teams each week, which very minimal people do.

+x+xAnyone know how the big bash is going? Article on AL in the Guardian talks about relative viewing audiences for the big bash and AL on the weekend. Made for depressing reading So cricket is still more popular than football in Australia? Well I never... ;)

NRL forecasting a $130m loss for this year and a minimum two years to recover. Sadly 25% of staff are to lose their jobs in cost savings of $50m

+x+xI doubt it will be much of a lifeline, but, does keep Fox on its toes, forcing them to pay more if they want to keep it. NINE seem the most active FTA for new sporting content. Not sure they have much money though. With television advertising on a steady decline (read somewhere recently it has already dropped 20-25% during the pandemic), it's hard to say how much FTA networks are willing to invest in new content, but it's safe to assume it's a lot less then it has in the past.

“Rugby union may get a financial lifeline from an unusual and potentially groundbreaking source: Nine Network and its online streaming service Stan.Nine is understood to have entered discussions with Rugby Australia about a potential broadcast deal that would see Wallabies matches telecast on Nine’s free-to-air channel and Super Rugby games mostly or only shown on Stan. The move would be a first for Australian sport to find a home on a streaming video on demand service, the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime on a global basis and Stan domestically have mostly focused on movies and comedy or drama series....” https://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/rugby-union/rugby-unions-saviour-could-be-nine-and-stan-in-broadcast-shakeup/news-story/6aa63f744e99a40b3729f305dfb88d5b

+x“ Fox and Seven bring in lawyersFoxtel chief executive Patrick Delany says cricket is in for a tough summer and while his organisation is willing to work with Cricket Australia it is clear the co-operation will come at a cost.CA is reeling following a savage attack from Seven West Media boss James Warburton, who has threatened to walk away from the network’s contract if it does not get a rights discount.Sources close to Foxtel confirmed on Tuesday it would also be seeking a reduction in what it pays for broadcast rights. And in a clear indication that the dispute is escalating, Foxtel delivered a legal letter to Cricket Australia on Monday and Seven has hired a high-profile contract lawyer to fight its corner.Both broadcasters believe a summer that includes the possibility of a Boxing Day Test at Adelaide not the MCG, a Big Bash without access to the biggest local stars and other likely changes is not what they signed up for.Fox and Seven contribute about $200m a year as part of a record $1.18bn contract signed in 2018. Both share the frustration of dealing with a body they believe was moving with too much haste under former chief executive Kevin Roberts and is indecisive since his departure.The impending legal battle will be a test of acting CEO Nick Hockley and the board.Cricket Australia insists it will deliver a full summer of cricket and is working to attract international stars to enhance the BBL. CA says it has worked to identify savings for broadcasters who are struggling because of the pandemic, but it will not cut a cheaper deal on the broadcast rights.Speaking at a sports conference on Tuesday, Delany signalled tough times for all sports but conceded tier-one sports such as cricket were in a slightly better position.“We can see quite clearly the sports that are working, and those sports know who they are,” he said. “We did a great deal with the NRL to renew our relationship. I want more of the NRL. Our relationship with the AFL is really fabulous. I want more AFL. The motorsports are going well for us, and we like cricket.“I think cricket is going to have a tough season ahead and we will work through it with them.”The football codes both renegotiated their deals with broadcasters when the pandemic hit, but cricket argues it does not need to as it will be delivering a full schedule where the football season has been truncated. But the broadcasters are adamant that what is being delivered does not meet the letter of the contracts...” https://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/cricket/fox-and-seven-bring-in-lawyers-in-dispute-with-cricket-australia/news-story/fa3ee6242c2d9b335749bcf9bb9c9ae9 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-09-16/seven-refuse-to-pay-cricket-australia-in-full-summer-of-cricket/12668040Ouch

+xI'm sure there are many devotees watching the USOpen but it seems no one cares here me incl part due to the covid adjustments stomaching how sport comes across watching, I'm sure other forums with tennis interest they are. Rules are rules with the incident, don't think one bit he meant/aimed for her, bit OTT for me. Press conference back in 2016. https://streamable.com/wrpwt6Worth a watch.
