Your listening to Fox Sports Radio. Not a ton of sports news out there, but there continues to be a debate about what exactly should happen with the Olympics. The Olympics are scheduled to begin on July 24th in Tokyo, Japan.

And we obviously are coming up on the end of March and there hasn't been an official official word about what is going to happen with the Olympics and the big challenges.

The the Japanese authorities and the IOC in conjunction with each other say they want basically another month to figure out how things are appearing like they are going to be to be doing by the time that the Olympics get here in the summer.

And it comes at an interesting time because Asia by and large. If you look at the coronavirus maps in the movement and the infections and everything else has already been through its infection and has come out on the other side. That's if you're in China.

If you're in Japan, if you are in South Korea, if you're in Hong Kong, if you are in Singapore, all these different Asian countries by and large have defeated the coronavirus and not allowed it to be a massive hindrance in their overall economies at this point in time.

Obviously Europe and the United States are right in the middle of of our outbreak. And then there are other countries that are trying to fight off the outbreak as well. Australia where Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson would be an example of a place that is also under under siege by the coronavirus right now.

Canada has already announced that it's not going to be sending a team at all and that they believe this is the inappropriate time to be having the Olympics in general.

Now the challenge associated with having the Olympics in addition to the overall health is what do you do about crowds.

And I think at this point in time, you pretty much would have to say crowds are not going to be present in the Tokyo Olympics if you decided to do it.

And then how do you handle the thousands of different athletes who are coming from around the world all into this postage stamp of a location without turning that into a petri dish where everyone is is ending up sick.

Now athletes themselves were asked in a recent survey and one of the big challenges that's going on is as a part of so much of the quarantines that are going on.

And the lack of gathering with large groups there right now has become major issue for athletes in terms of their ability to train such that 78% of athletes when they were pulled 4,000 of them thought that the Olympic Games are going to be a big deal.

So I think we are trending rapidly towards the idea of rescheduling the Olympics maybe next year and so you would go five years between Olympics and then three years between Olympics instead of the usual four year cycle.

But I think the Olympics in general have a larger issue that has to be determined, which is also something that I think is going to gradually become substantial for the country at large.

And in particular our country and that is how do you balance health with the economy.

It's a big question. I think it plays in on sports in a big way and right now the Olympics is having to make that decision, but at some point other leagues will have to make those decisions too.

I believe the earliest return somebody can correct me on this if if I'm wrong. I believe the earliest return that is scheduled anywhere in athletics right now is the MLS right now is scheduled to come back on May 10th.

Then there are the NBA Major League baseball the other leagues have to make decisions about when they're going to return and obviously we've had some leagues have just said hey we're done.
