“When is the bubble going to burst?” is a common question asked in sports.
It applies whether the subject is a team’s success, a player’s hot streak or a maybe even a losing streak. However, now the question seems a lot more literal when it comes to the term “bubble.”
And Major League Soccer is dealing with a nightmare all commissioners fear in their back-to-work plan, which is continued positive tests within the bubble.
Toronto FC and DC United didn’t play Sunday because of a positive COVID-19 test and an inconclusive test. Two teams have already been taken out of the tournament by the virus.
MLS continues to move forward with more games Sunday going ahead and other games rescheduled.
And you know the NBA, which is now within the same compound in Florida, as well as other leagues are watching closely to see how MLS moves forward.
They’re trusting their testing and isolation strategy to prevent an outbreak but it’s starting to feel like when, not if, one of these bubbles will eventually burst.
