Students return to the “classroom” ELIZABETH KELSEY News Editor
tesAfter a spring and summer of empty classrooms and silent halls, the UNI campus was once again filled with thousands of students on Monday morning. Masks donned and hand sanitizer at the ready, they sat in socially distanced lecture halls, ready to learn under a strange new normal. Others took their seats outside, in their dorm rooms or in front of their laptops. This fall, the idea of the “classroom” has expanded. In hopes of mitigating the spread of COVID-19, UNI is utilizing three main options for fall 2020 classes—fully in-person, fully online and hybrid, in which small groups meet in person throughout the week while other students complete work online. According to the university’s fall 2020 reopening plan at forwardtogether.uni.edu, more than 80% of UNI classes are meeting fully or partially faceto-face. Most students interviewed by the Northern Iowan preferred these in-person class-

es, including junior elementary education major Kayla Laufenberg. “My motivation is just not there in an online class,” she said. “I like to just be in the atmosphere of the classroom. I like to personally see the professor and… see them writing on the board.” The board, however, may be
in a different building than students are used to. To facilitate social distancing, many classes have been moved to larger spaces in different buildings, meaning that Spanish classes may meet in McCollum and math classes in the ITTC. “It’s very strange,” Laufenberg said with a laugh. In these classrooms, no
a senior majoring in psychology, described the additional training as a kind of mini orientation. “There was...[training] to tell us about what is going on, what are the changes, what is expected,” Cheah said. “Like, we’re supposed to wash our hands before we go to work and every so often just wash our hands. Just to make sure everything’s clean.” The training also covered all additional tasks required of a Dining Service Assistant at Maucker Union: these include spraying and wiping down tables with neutral disinfectant once they’re done being used, flipping over a card provided on each table to indicate it’s cleanliness, disinfecting door handles to the kitchen and instructing customers on how to execute self-checkout for their meals.
When asked about the challenges of her job now mid-pandemic, Cheah replied with a polite laugh saying, “I think one of the major challenges is, like, getting used to it.” The changes made across UNI’s campus are necessary, but many in number to workers like Cheah, who echoed this sentiment in a comparison between her job at the food court preCOVID-19 and present day. “It’s not to say there is less work [normally], but [now] there is extra work,” said Cheah. “But [the Maucker Union staff ] take turns to, sort of, do our duties.” While in Cheah’s case, sharing the workload with fellow staff members is a necessary solution for the effect COVID-19 has had on her job; in another case,
more than 40% of room capacity is being used if possible, meaning some tables and chairs have been marked for non-use. In addition, every classroom will undergo daily enhanced cleaning and disinfecting, and ventilation systems have been changed to non-recirculating air. Air in rooms is now exchanged at least six times per
hour, according to forwardtogether.uni.edu. Generally, classes of more than 50 students are not meeting together in person, instead utilizing a hybrid or online format. First-year classes have been prioritized for face-to-face instruction, but since many freshmen are enrolled in larger Liberal Arts Core or introductory classes, some online courses are inevitable. Freshman pre-nursing major Summer Howard has all her classes online except a biology lab and lecture, she said. Her fellow freshman Ben Andersen, a history education major, has three hybrid classes, one online and only one in-person. For these new students, who are already experiencing a schedule shift from high school, the mix of online and in-person classes can be tricky. “Online [classes] are just a little complicated to navigate,” said freshman marketing major Allie Burk, who has two online, two hybrid and two in-person classes. “I definitely prefer in-person classes.” See COVID CLASSES, page 2
New procedures keep campus clean KAYLA LAWRENCE Staff Writer
During the midst of a pandemic, there really is no such thing as too clean; UNI, it seems, has taken that to heart. Even before the much-debated return to campus, both students and staff had experienced firsthand the expectations and stress the university placed on cleanliness. Every student was required to complete the Protecting Our Panthers: COVID-19 Training before returning to campus for the fall. A majority of staff, both full and part-time, were also given additional training that included new university protocol for keeping campus clean.

a worker feels the pressure to endure a serious time crunch and a multitude of now essential tasks. “It’s hard on staff. But [the student custodians] help a lot,” said Kathy Benson, who has been a custodian at UNI for five years now. She went on to explain that despite the work
being split up for the custodial staff by assigned building and designated area, it was still very time-consuming. The disinfection process, in particular, requires multiple steps and needs to be checked and redone often. See CLEANING, page 4

Executive Editor welcomes students Iowan during my last two years at UNI and have been an active member of the UNI community as a whole,by participating in several different student organizations such as KULT Radio and Make the Change. The Northern Iowan team has been working hard all summer to make sure you are receiving the highest quality news possible. We want to make sure that every voice and story is covered this year as we launch into the unknown territory that is 2020. If you have something to say or a voice to be heard, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are always looking for critique, and, above all, making sure we are covering all we can on our campus. Letters to the editor are encouraged. Please email
them to me at maase@uni. edu. If you are interested in joining a writing or photography position, also do not hesitate to contact me or apply on our website. This year will be different than other years, and at this point, I consider that an understatement. However, the Northern Iowan is ready and prepared to adapt to any environment we are thrown into, and we are excited to continue bringing the best news to the UNI campus. As executive editor, I promise to do all I can to lift this paper up as high as it can go, with the help of my team as well as you, the reader. These are your stories being told, so I encourage you to speak up, speak out and grab a paper every Monday and Thursday.
I look forward to this year, and I look forward to
helping all of you tell your stories.

Her fellow freshman Ben Andersen, a history education major, has three hybrid classes, one online and only one in-person. For these new students, who are already experiencing a schedule shift from high school, the mix of online and in-person classes can be tricky. “Online [classes] are just a little complicated to navigate,” said freshman marketing major Allie Burk, who has two online, two hybrid and two in-person classes. “I definitely prefer in-person classes.” For Andersen, the selfpaced nature of online or hybrid classes isn’t too much of an adjustment, since he was homeschooled throughout high school. “I’m used to being more independent with my learning,” he said. One of the unique challenges of a schedule with
both in-person and online classes is finding a place to take Zoom classes while on campus. UNI has designated multiple spaces, including rooms in Lang, Sabin and Wright Halls as well as the Wellness and Recreation Center, for students to attend online courses on campus. A full list is available at forwardt o g e t h e r. u n i . e d u / c a m pus-spaces-online-classes. Despite the inherent difficulties, students said there are some potential perks to the online and hybrid setup. Andersen pointed out that, by recording lectures for students to watch online, class time can then be dedicated to student discussion. “I actually think it’ll work better,” he said. “It frees up in-person class time for interaction and discussion.” Burk added that, even in a virtual class, friendships are still possible. “[I’m looking forward] to meeting people and making those connections, even
online or via Zoom,” she said. Looking ahead, some students have expressed skepticism that in-person classes will continue for the entire semester. Several universities nationwide, including the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Notre Dame and Michigan State University, have already cancelled or temporarily suspended in-person fall classes due to concerns related to COVID-19. Whether classes are held online or in-person, however, students seem to be united in one respect: they want to ensure that they’re learning what they need to know. “I’m hoping that it won’t take away from what we would have learned,” said Ali Schneider, a freshman supply chain management major. Laufenberg agreed. “I hope I learn as much as I would in person,” she said.

Seybert: Say no to bars, yes to staying in ADDI SEYBERT Opinion Columnist
Amid new coronavirus outbreaks and death tolls rising, everyone is looking for a way to relax. Everything is changing; people are dying left and right, friends and family members are being hospitalized and face masks have become essential. It’s only natural to want to escape and find a sense of normalcy. For many people at UNI, that means going to The Hill. The Hill is a little stretch of sidewalk right next to campus that contains shops, fast food and (mostly) bars. It’s a place for students to hang out, enjoy themselves and forget everything for awhile. Or, at least, it was. The world as we know it is changing and that means habits have to change too. During any other school year, The Hill would be a fantastic place to hang out with friends and party it up. During a pandemic, however, going to The Hill’s bars, where wearing masks and social distancing becomes virtually impossible, is blatantly ignoring CDC (and UNI) guidelines and subsequently putting more people at risk. Seems a little dramatic,
right? You’re only going out for a few drinks, what’s the big deal? Let’s break it down. Say that only one person out of all the people crowded into Little Big’s (one of The Hill’s bars), had recently been exposed to coronavirus, albeit unknowingly. We’ll call her X. X meets up with a few of her friends to get ready and pre-game. That’s five people X has already infected and she hasn’t even gone out yet. When the friend group is ready, they find a spot in line at Little Big’s. The line is huge so X keeps being jostled from behind. Another two people are potentially infected. Once they finally get in, X hands the bouncer her ID and cover charge. Another one down. X then proceeds to buy drinks from the bartender, dance with some strangers on the dance floor and even make some friends in the bathroom. In total that night, X came into contact with about 80 people. Every individual that X interacted with could be infected. Those 80 people will then leave–hang out with their friends, go to class, maybe even another bar–resulting in exponential growth of the virus. Even if X isn’t worried about her own health, other people in her life might be. Some of
the people exposed, especially if immunocompromised, could die. See the problem? Coronavirus spreads fast. A lot of people don’t even know that they have it because they are asymptomatic. Due to this, the smallest amount of contact could rapidly spread the virus or end in tragedy. And for what? So your mutuals can skip through a grainy Snapchat story of your friends taking shots? College is a time to get out and have fun, and it sucks to have to stay away from parties–especially in the beginning of the school year. Under normal circumstances this would be a great time to celebrate, but this pandemic has changed things. Something as simple as going out for a drink could literally kill someone. Bars are naturally crowded, germy places on their own; shove 100 drunk college kids in there every weekend and germs (including ones carrying COVID-19) are bound to spread. Still want to party? Stay in! There is absolutely nothing wrong with hanging out and having a few drinks in your apartment. Not only does it save money (cover fees, overpriced drinks, etc.), but it also

keeps everyone a little bit safer. Your wallet, your friends and your immune system will thank you. If you’re still not willing to be safe for yourself, be safe for others. There are likely people in your life that are immunocompromised, whether you know it or not. Besides, it’s not just about you anymore; when you moved in, you became part of this campus and therefore part of this community. These are your friends, your classmates, your professors; are you really willing to put their lives and their family’s lives in danger just so you
can grind on a stranger and sweat vodka? For far too many people, it is literally a matter of life or death; every time you step foot into a bar, you are actively choosing to ignore safety guidelines and put those people at risk. Do your part, UNI. Stay away from bars until it’s safe enough to go back. It sucks right now, but if we social distance and use masks properly, we have the power to kick COVID-19 off our campus. Once we do that, we can all party at The Hill to our hearts’ content. Until then, stay home and stay safe.
Rawwas: Coronavirus is an ethics issue MOHAMMED RAWWAS Opinion Columnist
Much has already been said of COVID-19 that any additional commentary may seem superfluous. Perhaps the most obvious observation has been that COVID-19 has clearly shown the failure of free-market systems to provide anything nearing an adequate response to a global pandemic and has clearly demonstrated the virtues of a centrally planned economic system. It has also clearly demonstrated the complete lack of anything nearing an adequate healthcare infrastructure in countries such as the United States but including others as well. With the economic hardships proffered by mass unemployment due to COVID-19, with millions facing evictions, the necessity of universal programs has become all-too apparent, including, of course, universal healthcare. The pandemic also presages the death of the nation-state, the death of borders, as the universality
of the pandemic wipes away any local particularities and renders them superfluous. Much has also been made of individual responses to not only the pandemic but also the necessary measures in order to decrease its spread. The United States stands out as a unique example of a death cult hellbent on mass suicide through refusal to follow standard safety procedures such as wearing masks and social distancing, and this country’s uniqueness in this aspect appears to stem from the foundation myth that ideologically determines what the notion of “being American” entails. While wrapped up in grand notions of “freedom,” the foundation myth of the United States ultimately involves going to war over the price of tea. This is literally embodied through the foundation of the “Tea Party,” a reference to the historic and truly revolutionary act of throwing tea off of a ship because it was tariffed a bit too highly for bourgeois sensibilities. In other words, the
American Revolution was ultimately a bourgeois revolution. Thus we are left with absolutely no reference to what “freedom” actually looks like in material, concrete practice, since although the “Tea Party” directly references what freedom meant to the Founders, which was freedom to enjoy untaxed tea, this surely cannot be the basis of a political movement, which is why “freedom” can only remain an abstract concept. This is what leads to its ultimate mutilation in COVID-19: freedom becomes the freedom to kill other people, which is what the freedom to not wear a mask or the freedom to congregate ultimately entails. As Marx stated in The Manifesto of the Communist Party, “in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedoms, [the bourgeoisie] has set up that single, unconscionable freedom — Free Trade.” Freedom becomes the freedom to be exploited, the freedom to murder or anything except what would actually constitute freedom. One
would imagine that not being killed by others would be a prerequisite to any other freedom, but supposedly not. There is yet another obvious reference point in regard to the insistence on frequenting establishments, which is that in capitalism the subject is reduced to a consumer. The capitalist injunction is the injunction to enjoy. Therefore, those who refuse social distancing measures and insist on going to restaurants, bars, gatherings, etc. are the perfect neoliberal subjects. Regardless of their conscious awareness (in fact, only so long as they are not conscious of it), they are simply fulfilling the imperative that capitalism has enjoined them with: enjoy, consume. Freedom becomes the freedom to consume, the freedom from consequence. The point here, simply, is to take note of the fact that enjoyment is always partial, and that the only enjoyment is enjoyment through the other’s enjoyment. In the pursuit of full, direct enjoyment, there
is only dissatisfaction. At risk of oversimplification, I may hazard to say that one cannot enjoy if one is dead. Ultimately, COVID-19 has shown the necessity of creating a collectivity with which to identify. The notion of the nation-state is a false collective that retains its particularity, as it defines itself on the basis of the exclusion of the rest. As a sidenote, with international flights shuttered, many mainlanders decided to vacation in Puerto Rico, which had its cases under control until irresponsible mainlanders flagrantly violated the most basic safety precautions and continued spreading the virus. Interesting to note here is that the notion of the nation-state never aligns with the (empirical) nation-state itself. A truly universal collectivity is the only way to prevent the situation just described. Building that collectivity in the hyper-individualism of late capitalism is another question, although the formation of a party would not be a bad place to start.

Finding treasure under the moon Nick Baur
Staff Writer
Dust off those quarantine blues and grab your map and shovel because a family-friendly treasure trove of an experience is happening this weekend at the University of Northern Iowa. The 1980s classic coming-of-age film, “The Goonies,” becomes the 6th and final installment of the “Movies Under the Moon” summer drivein movie series orchestrated by Gallagher Bluedorn, the Hearst Center for the Arts, and Community Main Street. The tickets are first come first serve; however, students shouldn’t fret if they are unable to reserve a ticket. Associate Dean for Outreach and Special Projects, Steve Carignan provides some hope for students who may miss ticket reservations. Carignan says, “Even though we distribute 120 tickets, we often end up with only 90 cars. Students should feel comfortable bringing something to sit in, like a chair, beanbag or blanket and we will have space for you if you want to come.” Social distancing guidelines will be followed at the event and masks are strongly encouraged but not officially required. There will be no concessions available on site although food is allowed and bathroom availability will be emergency use only. More information including specific entry and exit points for the drive-in

“I already know the jobs I have to do,” said Benson. “But they came in and showed us what order everything needs to be done in and how to do it.” Benson sighed as she recalled the custodial staff ’s training, which focused heavily on the changes to the university’s standard cleaning regimen. “They had to change everything...We have to do more detailed cleaning...disinfecting tables and door handles. We have to go back and check them just about every hour.” The custodial staff is made to balance these new tasks alongside their general cleaning duties. They ensure the floors, and bathrooms are clean, and collect and take out garbage for the entire campus which leaves Benson with the feeling that the staff is stretched a lit-
movie can be found on the Gallagher Bluedorn website under their “Movies Under the Moon” designation. The series has presented a host of great flicks geared towards a wide audience with movies like “Moana” and “Mary Poppins Returns” gracing the drivein screen. Previously held at Overland Park in years past, X marks the spot this year at the north WRC parking lot adjacent to Hudson Street, also known as the north student “C” lot. Weather permitting, seating will open at 8 p.m. both Friday and Saturday night with the movie beginning at dusk. With help from area businesses and organizations, tickets are free to the public and are available for reservation on Thursday, August 21st at 10:00 a.m. Each ticket covers one vehicle and the persons within, but seating is limited to 120 parking spots in order to preserve the health and safety of those attending. Tickets can be reserved online at the UNItix website then redeemed at the event through printed email or mobile device. Be on the lookout in the coming weeks for Gallagher Bluedorn’s next weekend drive-in movie series, “Date Night.” This cinematic multi-weekend event will start in September while featuring more adult-oriented classic films like “Bull Durham” and “An Officer and A Gentleman.” The setup and social distancing limitations for these drivetle thin. Benson commented that she often feels the heat, presumably not just from the masks students and staff must wear in any campus building, but from the tight time frame she feels to complete the list of jobs that now include those that are COVID-19 specific. But it’s not just staff that feel the effects of the pandemic on their regular routines. Students, too, have noticed the sudden appearance of things like hand sanitizer stations located by nearly all exits and entrances to buildings and disinfectant bottles and wipes at printing stations and throughout the library. Class sizes have shrunken, and classrooms are situated to give students their 6 feet of space. Bathroom doors in highly populated areas around campus are left propped open to lessen contact to door handles. And, throughout the day,

in movies will look almost identical to “Movies Under the Moon” and take place at the same times. However, this event will not be free to tours for prospective students and their parents are broken up into significantly smaller groups than they have been in the past. It’s clear that UNI’s expectations for cleanliness extends to its students as well. So how can the average student do their part? Both Benson and Cheah agree on one simple way for students to do this: wear your masks. This not only protects the student, but also those around them, including the staff who work hard to ensure their safety. Other ways for students to promote cleanliness across campus is for them to use what supplies are provided for them. Spray and wipe printing stations, and if you eat at or use a table in the Union flip the table card to dirty after use. These actions do a little to lessen the load of custodial staff across campus.

Mark your calendars now for this can’t miss vintage movie experience guaranteed to fulfill is the combined effort and responsibility of students, student workers and fulltime staff. And, as Cheah said, the biggest challenge for everyone is just getting used to the new state of our university. But she had the right idea, the best thing for everyone who shares UNI’s campus to do is to band together and do our individual parts.

Top 5 movies released during quarantine HUNTER FRIESEN Film Critic
I know, I know. You just read the headline and thought to yourself, “What movies have come out over these past few months?” If you’re going by the usual distribution system of movies playing in cinemas, then nothing has come out since the middle of March. Fortunately, this pandemic taking place in 2020 hasn’t fully taken away our ability to see new films. Dozens have been released either on VOD or streaming platforms over the past few months. To spotlight the films that deserve praise and recognition, here is a list of what I thought were the five best films to come out since March 17 (the day all cinemas shutdown). Tribune News Service
5. “Palm Springs” The Lonely Island strikes again! After several music albums, dozens of SNL digital shorts and two underrated movies (“Hot Rod” and “Popstar”), the trio of Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone return for this Hulu comedy. Taking a page out of “Groundhog Day,” the film follows Nyles (Samberg) as he is eternally stuck in a time loop on the day of his friend’s wedding. Nyles takes this problem in stride as he gives up on caring about anything and decides to live his new consequence-free life to the fullest. Through a series of mishaps, the sister of the bride, Sarah (a wonderful Cristin Milioti), gets stuck in the same loop with Nyles. Hilarity ensues as the pair try and fail to break out of their purgatory. Also making its way into the story is a good amount of insight into the human con-
dition as reliving the same moments forever can alter your perspective on life.
TV+ subscription, but it is good enough to search for a link on the web.
4. “Extraction” Written by frequent MCU director Joe Russo, directed by MCU stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave,and starring Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, “Extraction” is the closest thing we had to a Marvel movie this summer. Released by Netflix, the plot follows Tyler Rake (Hemsworth), a mercenary contracted to extract the kidnapped son of a notorious Bangladeshi crime lord. While the overall story is a little weak, what sets “Extraction” apart from the crowd is its top-notch action set pieces. Hargrave takes his stunt coordinator experience and uses it to create flashy yet realistic choreography. The film’s crowning achievement is a pulse-pounding twelve-minute one-take sequence that traverses buildings, cars, and crowded town squares.
2. “The Vast of Night” Amazon’s “The Vast of Night” is a director’s showcase for Andrew Patterson. With long takes and tracking shots that are near Cuarón level, Patterson fully immerses us in this 1950s set small-town alien invasion mystery. In a spine-chilling phone switchboard scene, Patterson blends his long take technique with some exceptionally creepy sound work. The two leads of Jake Horowitz and Sierra McCormick in front of the camera also deserve much praise. Spookier than any conventional horror movie and brimming with an abundance of talent from its cast and crew, “The Vast of Night” is a startlingly wellmade debut that will surely find itself on a best-of list at the end of the year.
3. “Greyhound” Anchored by a stoic Tom Hanks performance, “Greyhound” is a simple story told efficiently. This game of naval cat-andmouse is elevated by the slick editing and bombastic score. The script by Hanks is hit-or-miss. Since most lines are orders repeated by two or more characters, Hanks only had to write half a script. With that half, Hanks falters when it comes to everything besides the main action. The inclusion of the romance subplot and brief bits touching on racial politics seem to have little purpose besides padding the barebones 90-minute runtime. “Greyhound” isn’t good enough to warrant an Apple
1. “Never Rarely Sometimes Always” Written and directed by indie-darling Eliza Hittman, “Never Rarely Sometimes Always” is an authentic and upsetting coming of age story. Taking place over a trip to New York to abort an unwanted pregnancy, Hittman did an impeccable job of exuding sympathy and connecting me to a process that I am biologically unable to relate to. The title of the film comes full circle near the end in a scene that left me with no dry eyes. Newcomer Sydney Flanigan is a star in the making with her lead performance. With this Oscar year having potentially fewer contestants, she deserves serious awards attention.

UNI postpones fall sports to spring COLIN HORNING Sports Editor
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has left no part of the world untouched, and there has perhaps been no industry affected more than the sports world. Sports fans around the globe saw March Madness cancelled last spring, the NBA and NHL seasons suspended until recently, and the 2020 Olympic games moved back a year, amongst many other tournaments and leagues to cancel their respective competitions. The news recently for all UNI student-athletes was the last thing they had wanted to hear: on Friday, August 14, the Missouri Valley Conference announced they will be postponing all conference play and championships for fall sports. Among these include volleyball, women’s soccer and cross country. One week prior, the
Missouri Valley Football Conference (which operates as a separate body from the rest of the conference) announced that it would be postponing conference play until the spring with the hopes of playing an eight game schedule and a reduced playoff format. Many smaller conferences around collegiate sports had been either postponing or cancelling their fall sports due to the uncertainty of play during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, travel restrictions and the debate over whether or not to allow fans in attendance at games. University of Northern Iowa Director of Athletics David Harris expressed disappointment in the cancellation of the fall season but cited the health and safety of the student-athletes as the foremost reason behind the league’s decision. “The health and safety of our student-athletes are first
and foremost in our decision making and have been from the beginning of this pandemic. That doesn’t take away the heartbreak that we feel with the decision to push the season to the spring. We will shift our focus to the spring and encourage the NCAA to find a model for championships that provide opportunities for student-athletes from all conferences to be represented,” Harris said. The conference has said that all student-athletes whose seasons were postponed will still be allowed to participate in workouts, strength training and team meetings, as long as they abide by the health and safety guidelines set forth by the NCAA. The NCAA Board of Governors gave each conference willpower to decide whether playing a season was in their respective interests. Some of the larger or “Power 5” conferences
such as the PAC-12 and Big Ten announced that they will be moving their fall sports to the spring as well. Others, however, like the Big 12 and SEC have said that they are moving forward with a fall college football season. This has led many to
speculate how the NCAA championships will be conducted if some teams are playing in the fall with others holding spring sessions. Regardless of what happens, the MVC is confident that all fall sports will be able to take place in the spring. TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
OPINION
How will the MLB season play out amid a pandemic? NICHOLAS SCHINDLER Sports Writer
The MLB returned to play on July 23rd for a fast 60 game season where every game is
important. After a long, arduous dispute between the MLB and the MLBPA regarding salaries, game locations and many other factors, eventually the two sides were able to come TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
to an agreement. At the end of the day, it all worked out, and we have baseball back. Now, if you would have asked me last year what the major headline would be for the MLB, I likely would have guessed it had to do with the Astros cheating scandal. As it turns out, that could not be further from the truth. However, amid the coronavirus pandemic and the shortened season, almost no one in sports media has mentioned the controversy of the sign-stealing scandal. In regards to the coronavirus, the MLB went in the total opposite in COVID-19 prevention as opposed to other professional leagues, such as the NBA. The NBA decided to play in a “bubble” at the Wide World of Sports Resort in Orlando, Florida, where practically no one was allowed to come and go, in order to prevent the virus from potentially ruining the NBA season.w However, the MLB decided not to play in a bubble and so far one could say it’s been a bit of a mess. Multiple teams have had COVID-19 outbreaks, such as the St. Louis Cardinals,
Miami Marlins and Cincinnati Reds. None of these outbreaks have led to any drastic health consequences for players or coaches, but it has forced the MLB to recreate the schedule on the fly. For example, the St. Louis Cardinals have to play 53 games in 44 days to make up for the time they had off. Along with the scheduling headache, some teams are requiring players to take individual cars to each of their games. The Cardinals used 41 different rental cars to travel to their series in Chicago against the Cubs this week. While the MLB season has looked in Jeopardy most of
the year, I think it will finish because we have gotten this far. Due to the shortened season, it will be much easier for a team playing well to make it far into the postseason; however, it is also easy to get behind and miss the playoffs this year. In the end, I expect the Dodgers and the Braves to come out of the NL and the Astros and Yankees to come out of the AL. It would be a fitting cap to the end of the season should the Dodgers and Astros wind up playing each other in the World Series, but this could very well be a potential matchup. It would certainly cap off 2020 in a crazy way. TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
