I have heard reasonable arguments on both sides of this debate. What are your thoughts?
So.. did you vote?

Kind of a hard call for me. Part of me thinks that at a point in time it could be disrespectful to those that are defending us. But maybe they would rather the sporting events continue as usual.
I have to think about it a bit more before I give a definite yes or no.

Everytime I am overseas in a crisis situation, the sports from home is one of the sure connections, even if it's delayed! (Not so much of a problem any more.) Play ball!

No, because I can't decide. I think the commissioners of the leagues should follow the suggestion of the President if he makes one. Sports are entertainment. So are movies and private and public golf clubs. Golf clubs don't shut down. Movie theaters don't close. Public swimming pools don't close. Etc., etc., etc. Why should only our national sports be the only form of entertainment that is put under the spotlight during times of war? Why the double standard?
